Bad News this evening from CD Japan.

They tell me that Universal Japan has cancelled the SHM-SACD edition of Carpenters 1974-1978 scheduled for release at the end of this month.
CD Japan is cancelling all pre-orders and issuing a credit.

Too bad, I was looking forward to that one.
 
Yes, that is a disappointment. I don't recall this ever being released in the US. My LP was an import which I found new for $1. I later replaced it with an import CD.

LP:

I suppose the reason for the cancellation is something other than demand. There was a new Carpenters XRCD just released titled "Love Songs". Maybe Richard wasn't satisfied with the final results of the proposed SHM-SACD?

Hard to say. There are many things that can trip up a proposed remastered release on SACD or other formats.
