Will do. Was gonna listen to some of it tonight anyway!
Steve's mastering can be what is described as "warmer" than original mastering on rock LPs and CDs. Sometimes even sounding duller than what is expected. I was fearing that this album would lose it's bright punchy sound on this reissue due to his desire to warm it up some. I hope it is not extremely warmer to the point of muddiness.
Never played the rebook but iirc no problem with the MultiCh which have definitely played.. will double check and get back to you tomorrow.

Thanks FredBlue,
Played the mc sad layer at home and there is a defect there too. As expected different songs affected. On the cd layer I was able to burn MP3s of all songs except 8 and 9. On the sacd it stops playing in song 6 and I have to skip ahead to play the rest after song 8. Too bad this is very nice lounge type jazz singing with great clarity if not an aggressive mix and its an expensive sacd to to get. So do I return it to amazon or keep it with the defect......

Ah, that is.. annoying..
I've not been able to tear myself away from a hot Surround Master, sorry
..but I will test this one out as soon as I do, I promise(I'm pretty sure testing will be academic anyway as if it hadn't have played alright back when I got it I would have no doubt spouted off about it on here at some point like I did with things like the Born/At The End Of The Day SACD or the Fury In The Slaughterhouse SACD that was new/sealed and are others that are rare and pricey usually which just would not play in surround no matter what but they were cheap so I just left it, life's too short to waste time on obscure SACDs that won't play!
)fwiw I would say if you got it cheap then hang onto it but if you paid a lot for it maybe send it back and hang tight for another copy?
Did you get it new/sealed or used?

As my last attempt to beat a dead horse here I have found that by switching to SACD stereo I can play the three songs that wont play on the mc layer...... Probably makes this a more valuable disc on the steve Hoffman forum though. This was a used disc I paid around $15 so Ill just keep it. A weird pressing defect to be sure.
Interesting.. I see you have an Oppo 970 and an SACD-capable PS3 listed in your profile here, have you tried it out on both machines?
(Still chained to a hot surround master btw, so haven't double checked, sorry..
..but like I said previously if it didn't play in surround at least on one of my machines I would have kicked off here about it already, no doubt! )jefe1

Oops, need to update my profile I'm now using an oppo 95. The PS3 is only set up for stereo since Im using legacy quad receiver cant connect to it other than in stereo. I found some discs, noticeably Bowies Heathen that would not play on the 970 now play on the oppo 95. I can see a little discoloration on my disc that is not on the surface so this isn't a software issue.
Keep enjoying your surround master!

Too late baby now it's too late.. it's already happening.. there are some crappily made old SACDs that are already totally unplayable.. I'll do a little list of those I have had to get multiple copies of just to get a copy that would play..

Thank you for mentioning this, Lute. I ordered it immediately, and it is really good! Not at all gimmicky as one could suspect reading that there are flowerpots and else strange things are used as music instruments. Sound and surround mix are great, so I really enjoy this much more than I expected!
A very special album for me. The whole sob story is in some thread or other. The friend who sent me this album (while I was in basic training in the military???) is recently departed. I'll be spinning it in his honor, wishing he could have heard it.

I don't think it's multichannel, but AFAIK, the first SACD release of music from Ryuichi Sakamoto http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/COGQ-87
I just ordered a copy as it's one of those "Limited Editions." Release date: 1/20/16
Wish more of his music would be released on hi res physical disc in MULTICHANNEL.
