I'd for sure get the Chick Corea titles, those would be great to have.

These are re~releases from the ECM and VERVE catalogues. I really wish Tower would dig deeper into the ECM catalogue and release this rare beauty:

And I'd love, LOVE this one too from ECM. EXQUISITE! Thankfully, I do have a lovely Japanese~pressed RBCD!

How about Pat Metheny and "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls"

IN SURROUND? CAN YOU ONLY IMAGINE?

I only wish Dutton Vocalion could get a crack at these ECM reissues.....Tower Records Japan and even CDJapan are a [real] PITA to order these discs from!

haven't heard these two; perhaps I can PM my address to you and you can ship 'em right out for me to audition
seems these ECM/Tower SACDs sell pretty well and for good reason, but the shipping is an issue, I believe even having to go through some separate shop & ship service!

Dream on, JP. Yes, ordering them from Japan is a PITA and VERY EXPENSIVE. Thanks to YOU I did manage to get two of the Metheny ECM SACDs on ebay at a very decent price.

But those two ECM discs I did mention are extraordinary and well worth seeking out!

Thanks @soundboy I’ll grab Coltrane for sure; thinking about some others still.

Actually, GREAT PRICING FROM CDJAPAN FOR SHM~SACDs.

It seems these are not Tower specials this time, hence the better prices

I never use Pay Pal for pre-orders because if you change your mind and want to cancel....it's time consuming to get the cancellation...but looking under Payment Methods Accepted at Acoustic $ounds...it appears they take Pay Pal....

importcds usually has the SHM-SACD's.....sometimes they wait closer to the release date to list them...here are some

In case you are interested in the Cream Goodbye listing...it has the 2014 mastering...here are some examples
