I have the SACD pre-ordered on amazon.com, but they remove the SACD from their site.
This has probably happened before, where I thought I had ordered a Yes DVD-A but received the BluRay, that I cannot play. If Amazon won't fix this I will cancel the order.
Edit: this is their response
I guess they didn't want me to have it at $25 anymore ...

Then they gave a link where I had the choice between mp3, CD or vinyl. The SACD is gone.

Not sure about Amazon.Com. I order the Analogue Productions SACDs from Acoustic Sounds since they own AP and you get the SACDs first from them.
In fact, I was playing their new 3-Channel SACD Stereo edition of Belafonte at Carnegie Hall: The Complete Concert yesterday.
There are advantages in going straight to the source!
The time from announcing a title to release can be long. And in some cases releases fall out and get cancelled along the way.
That's why I recommend to the reissue companies and download sites that they not announce titles until they are pretty close to release.
Or even when they are available. If possible.
That eliminates a lot of the stress and strife on line - and limits it to those who are involved in the development and production process.
On the other hand, big name artist titles are going to generate a host of rumors ahead of release in any case.
For those titles, early announcing reissues is probably the only choice to get at least some official information out there ahead of the actual release.

YES! Thank you!
We have fallen victim to that too much lately, and "Amused to Death" is just one example of that. ("Trilogy" of course being another obvious example.)
AF are smart to not announce a release until it's ready to go, and if more labels followed that mode of thinking all of the time, I think we would be better off, because things can and will change, so sometimes it's best if we know as little as possible.
Another thing we have fallen victim to lately is shoddy pre-release info, not from AF, but from many other companies and labels. It's like how can we be expected to want or buy something when we don't even know what's actually on it?!
Here's an opportunity to hear the remastered edition of Amused to Death by Roger Waters. At this week's The Show Newport at the Hotel Irvine, Acoustic Sounds owner Chad Kassem will be playing tracks from upcoming Acoustic Sounds releases - including Amused to Death. Should be an interesting event.

Funny you mention Friday at The Show Newport.
An announcement from Sonic Flare (room 1119 at the show) says that Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions will be speaking on Friday about his 2015 release plans and playing some selections.
Sonic Flare also says they will be sneak previewing some of the upcoming Analogue Productions titles - such as the ones from Henry Mancini. You'll want to mark this room on your list - and 4:30pm on your calendar.
There may be some Roger Waters there as well - even though it isn't part of the Sonic Flare announcement. Who knows?
Sure would be tough to get there on Friday. Too bad. That would be really interesting. So I guess he won't be there Saturday and Sunday then.
See message # 81 above. Chad will be there Saturday, playing the newly remastered Amused to Death in the Audio Skies room (1445). That's probably the one to be at. I'm going to try and get to both.

Acoustic Sounds announces today that "Ships Starting Friday. The Wait is Over." for the Vinyl LP and Hybrid Multichannel SACD editions of Amused to Death by Roger Waters. Nice.
