A $20-$50 trip isn't as disconcerting as a $400 trip. Sure, I could limit myself to $50, or one SHM-SACD. Yet, if I'm travelling 30 miles away, it's not as easy to return tomorrow if I decide to buy something I left behind. I'm not hurting, but also not independently wealthy. If economic catastrophe hits, I don't want to kick myself for spending $400 last week in the CD store. I may need that $400 down the road. I hope that makes sense. If everyone spent what I have, the record companies would all be larger than Apple is today.
If the economy is sound, it's no problem. If I run out of $$, I can find a well paying job in a strong economy. Having been National Sales Manager for an electronics company, and later for a computer company, I think I'm marketable. In recent years, I've chosen to work for far less $$ as president of two not-for-profits. The gratification and lives that have been changed far outweigh a prestigious position and/or big $$$. If the economy goes further south, not-for-profits will face further fiscal erosion of grants and donations. You get the picture.

Why stock market is postponing such trips?
You just made me aware of it.
Listened to the samples - it's great! Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Thanks OQG.Problem is when I checked some prices on eBay I got depressed. So instead of thanking you I'll be blaming you for making me want something that I'll likely never be able to have.
Seriously though, I searched for some reviews of the 5.1 mix but couldn't find any - not even on QQF. Any thoughts on mix?

I simply love this title. I remember I could of bought this at retail, but already had it on CD and had no SACD player at the time. Eventually found one at quadruple the retail price like new. So when I take it out to play I'm real careful with it. Anyway, I like the mix, it's everything one would want. It sounds like Peter Tosh is in the center of the room with the band all around you, real life like sound. Too bad they didn't just keep on with more titles, this one's a keeper. Put this back in print, it would sell. Also continue DVD-A/SACD in all BR players, like Oppo does.
The Bob Dylan Reggae tribute has Luciano performing "Knocking on Heavens Door," that's another to own while it's still to found. Amazon: Is It Rolling Bob? A Reggae Tribute to Bob Dylan [Dual Disc]

Congrats. The Matt Bianco SACD has been one of my favorites since it was released in Europe.
As I was refiling something I looked at for another thread, I spotted Reggae Pulse, another 5.1 Silverline wonder on Dual Disc. I forgot I had this one. With the thousands of titles I own, how could THAT happen? I'm listening to it as I write this. My rear channels needed a rest, anyway. lol!! Some gems on this comp.
There is lots of early Marley on SACD and DVD-A, several of which I own. 5.1 derived from 1ch and 2ch. Oh boy!

That's a good SACD. Some classic hits with amazing detail in Super Audio.
Love the Surround Sound on Era's "The Mass" SACD. Not well known outside of Europe.

Hi Linda,
How does it sound ? I've loved the music on it since I brought the LP home on the bus the day of release, but all issues have been so muffled.
Hey, Filper,
It sounds good, but what the hell, "It's Only Rock & Roll," but I like it. It does not sound muffled. The vocals still sound like they were run through a high filter. The instruments, including the cymbals sound crisp. It does not sound muffled, except maybe those vocals. "Ain't too proud to bitch!"
Love You Live and Who's singles both sound great. I've owned these Who hits umpty nine times over and never heard them sound this good! The only Who disc I own that is done as well or better is my German Who's Next CD. I have the SHM-SACD of that title, and it pales in comparison to the German CD.
The best sounding SHM-SACD's I've heard are Innervisions-Stevie Wonder and the Who's Singles. I was also impressed with Dire Straits (1st.)
