Again visited my local Best Buy tonight....and I am completely floored!!
Not only did the SACD section get restocked, it actually now expanded to two racks full of SACDs!! As I mentioned in a previous post in this thread, this store's SACD rack was restocked with mostly Fantasy jazz titles and some Sony single-layer titles. Now it got completely restocked with both Universal (Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow, Steely Dan, Hilary Hahn, etc...) and Sony titles (Tony Bennett, Billy Joel, Carole King, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, etc....). There was even a Donovan SACD from AF, plus multiple copies of Ray Charles and Henry Mancini. It was packed!!
I also mentioned prices were reduced to $14.99 for Sony single-layer SACDs, but it looks like some Universal titles also got reduced from $14.99 to $13.99....like the SACDs from Peter Gabriel and the Police catalog.
I also noticed that some Sony single-layer SACDs have a new way of distingishing regular CD titles from those that are SACD. When looking down from the top, it used to be that the first 2 letters in the catalog number on that clear transparent sticker thingy will tell whether the disc is a regular CD (starts with CK) or a SACD (starts with CS). Now, the SACD logo shows up on top of the CS catalog number, easily identifying itself as a SACD. I have never seen this before.
One more thing, I noticed the "new" SACD of Billy Joel's "52nd Street" doesn't come in a slipcase, cardboard or plastic. Like all previous Sony SACDs, it comes in a regular CD jewel case. The only identification of the disc being a SACD is the round silver/black sticker saying the disc is playable only on a SACD player. Since there was 3 copies of "52nd Street " like this (each with the SACD logo over the catalog number visible on the top edge of the jewel case), I guess this may be the new way to display the disc.
