I saw on eBay a listing for an SACD version of Floyd's "The Wall." Is this legit?
There is a live version that Waters performed on SACD, if I'm not mistaken.
I've seen it in the store, but never pulled the trigger.
lets hope the 2" analogue multitracks of the wall properly survived the cloning process of oven baking & once only chance copying to digital...then you get only a short time to make a safety copy
If kept in, say an airing cupboard after treatment, they will probably remain playable for ever!

In the phenomenal book, "Comfortably Numb - A History Of 'The Wall' Pink Floyd 1978-1981," on page 70, there is a picture of the Side 1 2-track master box (dated 11/30/79).If this process WAS successfully done to the wall masters then yes there is some hope of a SACD or 5.1 version ... eventually ! otherwise we are permanently stuck with the stereo mix .... which after all is one of the best recordings ever made!
