iirc., 'Polygram Special Markets' was another associated division with the DTS HDS discs, pretty sure things like EC's "There's One In Every Crowd" were in connection with 'Polygram Special Markets'?
Cardigans Long Gone Before Daylight SACD
It might well be special markets for polygram.(rings a bell in my brain)..but without going to look at the back of my discs I was pretty sure that special products was columbia
The Cardigans does pop up every now and again for "not totally crazy money" so I wouldn't give up hope of finding it. there are other SACDs that are more elusive and pricey when they do turn up (incl., Lovebox, Scorpions, Sarah Brightman x 3). plus some of the Single Layer Sony MultiCh discs are equally as tough to get now, like O'Jays' Ship Ahoy & Isley Bros. 3 + 3.
Then there's those SACDs that are so rare (obscure!?) its doubtful they even exist! like Will Tura's "In Mooiste Droom", or the "La Oreja de Van Gogh" discs (2 of 'em announced afaik) which nobody I know has ever seen in the flesh (probably vapourware).
One hope in the short term is that some of these rare SACDs end up as DSD Downloads from the new wave of music download sites like Acoustic Sounds. Sony, Universal Music and Warner-Elektra-Atlantic have all licensed their music to Acoustic Sounds for posting and sales as DSD Downloads. Now we'll have to wait and see when those major label downloads start appearing to see if it provides relief from the eBay Shocker List, etc.... !
Well, not quite. The first Mobile Fidelity DTS CDs were 4.0. The 5.1 versions came later and were the result of customer interest and demand. I remember because I had both sets of the initial releases purchased from Mobile Fidelity - in 4.0 and 5.1. And I talked with Brad about the reasons for changing from 4.0 to 5.1 mid-stream.
All the major labels have had special products/markets divisions. They have leased products to boutique and budget labels. If you check most DTS CD's from Miller Nevada, DTS entertainment, etc., you'll find a special products division leased them. Ditto for Analogue Productions and MoFi releases. In many cases, the special products/markets division also presses these discs.
that's the hardest Time Out SACD (Euro Hybrid) to come by, in my humble opinion/experience. I picked it up in Virgin Megastore (£13) they had about 4-5 copies at the time, in hindsight I should have bought them all..!
I meant the earlier Sony hybrid is in shortest supply/rarest Time Out SACD nowadays

Surprisingly, my copy was purchased in Hong Kong for US$17.00. This had to be at least 7-8 years ago and I have never seen another one again....not even on auction websites.

Another good reason to go with the Hybrid SACD of Time Out now available from Analogue Productions. It has the Multichannel SACD layer from the Columbia SACD plus the Stereo CD and Stereo SACD versions of the album.
certainly is! if only they'd put out that 5.1 Thom Cadley mix of SRV's "Couldn't Stand The Weather" that never made it to SACD back in the day!
