Sony quietly reissuing SACDs as Hybrids in Europe (at least)

[steelydave]

I noticed a bunch of Sony hybrid SACDs show up on preorder lists recently, and I happened to be in the Virgin Megastore on Oxford St. in London today and got to see firsthand that some titles have been re-released as SACD hybrids. The one I saw in person was Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow, it was in a standard clear backed jewel case, and on the back it had the [ SACD Surround | SACD Stereo | CD Audio ] matrix in exactly the same style as the Bob Dylan SACDs. I had no idea that these were coming out...good sign I think! These are the titles I've found so far:

Destiny's Child - Survivor
Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
Toto - IV


Not sure if these are single inventory or not. You can get them on play.com and amazon.co.uk
