As I have reported in another columne, we can buy in Germany also 2 SA-CD's of ""Kitaro" - one live and one recorded in a studio. Both have on the outside cover the Term "Surround". The Q-fan, which has now buyed the Kitaro studio-record told me now, that the term direct on the SA-CD will be "stereo" - and the recod is playing also only in stereo. I think, the same error could be also by offer this records in other countries.

The single SACD Kitaro disc ("Kojiki") is a Hybrid Stereo SACD while the 2 Disc Kitaro Live SACD ("Daylight, Moonlight: Live in Yakushiji") is a Hybrid Surround Sound SACD.
I believe they are stickered correctly in the U.S. market.
See my High Fidelity Review story on the Kitaro SACDs at
http://www.highfidelityreview.com/news/news.asp?newsnumber=14784182 for more details.
I seem to recall a Kitaro SQ LP from the '70s. It had a blue cover, and I think it was German.
Is this the same recording?
Is this the same recording?
Thanks Brian Moura, for the tip of the reports about Kitaro and other surround recordings by the interesting web-side of High Fidelity Review.But the annoyance will be the wrong term "surround" for a stereo record, which needs back to the dealer for a retourn after something discussions. The same wrong term-problem we have had also by a SA-CD from "Yes".bmoura said:

An SACD by Yes? I thought their recordings were only available on DVD-A.
Hi B.M. - for "variety" now also a mistake from me (but I don't have self this records - only another fan). I mean of course a SA-CD of "Creedence Clearwater Revival" - and now I was also told actual the same by a SA-CD of "Norah Jones" with wrong "surround" labels. I would say with my comment, that the buyer should sometimes test carefully, if the innerside is the same as the outside shows - by SA-CD's.bmoura said:

The Norah Jones SACD is a Surround Sound disc. Are you saying that the European version has a Stereo SACD sticker on it ?
I have asked again the Q-Fan, which has buyed the Norah Jones SA-CD (Come Away With Me) and he has confirmed, that it is/was true: a multichannel-sticker and a stereo SA-CD. (The "Clearwater" I have selfbmoura said:
changed by the - at first - incredulous dealer. We could mad the test direc by surround-set at his place). And another "joke" - the SA-CD of "Blues Company - from daybreak to heartbreak" will have no one sign or sticker on the packing or he "recod" self, that this is a suround-mix. And direct on the SA-CD label there is printed not SA-CD, but CD (INAK 9071) This jazz-like music and the suround-mix are for well listening.
And then we have the SA-CD of "Kagermann", which is further on by the dealer. There is a stereo-sticker, but below the cellophan-package is seen "surround-mix". If I would buy this SA-CD (I am not sure, if the music will satisfy me), I will test this record also direct by the dealer.
With my report I will not make a scare before buying SA-CD's, but there are indeed a few errors by the sticker-selection.

Could be. I know that some find the Surround Mix of the Norah Jones SACD a bit subtle. Perhaps that is why he thinks it's a Stereo SACD.
Thank's for your tips, martin and moura. Now I will test this SA-CD with my own equipment. Then I will look (or better listen), how the surround-sound works. You know, something is difficult - also by the newest technic. Dietrichbmoura said:
