Lookin' good!!
Thanks, Jon. Unfortunately, the SACD of "Bat Out of Hell" was sold to a collector and I kinda regretted that decision. The SACD collection now is approach 400 titles....if not more than that already.
What are the Rarest** MultiChannel SACDs?

Hmm. It's that rare, eh?
I understand that the stereo version is from the master, but that the multichannel version had some fake stuff done to it because the multi's were lost. Is that correct?
The problem with buying these online is verifying whether you're buying the stereo or stereo/multi version. I've had three different used CD sellers email back and tell me they "don't have time to check" after I explain why I'm asking and how to tell the difference.

The Scorpions SACD is available on ebay right now. Expect to pay a pretty heavy price for it though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270214013488&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=017
This Scorpions release I can believe, first time I've ever noticed one popping up for auction .....but the Bat Out Of Hell 5.1 SACD??? Over the past 2 years it has been as common as dirt on Ebay at least, with very little interest shown in it. I see a copy hitting $50 on there right now, that seems to have only become the norm in the past month or so since someone posted "Rare- OOP" on their ads for it! Seems to me that the Billy Joel's have always been available, particularly from "Weezie", one of my favorite sellers. John S.

You can get the DVD with a DTS soundtrack for $11 at fetch a disc. Best alternative, and so many of these discs can be a very rare play, as this one would be for me. SACD would be nice, this works fine and ya get the video.Thanks! I am going for it, but with my luck I will pay a lot and it will suck. Can anyone comment on the mix? Is it decent surround sound, or ambience?
The version of "Bat Out of Hell" I had was the earlier 2 channel stereo version, which was what the buyer wanted. The paper slipcase, which is unique to the 2 channel stereo SACD, added to the value.

I'm in the same boat as everyone else here, scooping up discs before they get too rare. But, I would caution people to look at the HiRez Poll results before paying more than a buck or two for the Meatloaf SACD. Hint: start at the bottom!
Decision time....buy the SACD at whatever its ultimate selling price or ramen for the next 2 months

You can't eat an SACD - The second layer gets stuck in your teeth!
The Stereo/Multi Ch also has a paper slipcase. Is it a different cover picture on the stereo only?
I had the multi-channel SACD of "Bat Out of Hell" as well, but my disc had the standard plastic transparent slipcase. There was no picture on the plastic slipcase. Same situation happened with titles like Toto's "IV" and Miles davies' "Kind of Blue".
Generally, the earlier Sony single-layer SACD came with a paper slipcase that's unique to that particular release.
I also have the Toto IV Multi-ch/stereo SACD with a picture paper slipcase
Hmmmm....I've never seen such a slipcase.

OK, AudiA3....I see what you mean. And I finally look to the left side of the screen, underneath your moniker....Denmark. That's the reason. What you have is the European version of the SACD (although I have seen these on Asian auction sites as well), whereas I have the US version of the same title. Pictured below is the European version of the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" SACD that I purchased from an internet seller from, I think, Singapore....
as opposed to the US version of the same SACD

and to think I was upset at having to buy from england and it costing a few extra $..
