I got notification that In The Wind has shipped from Import CD's....if someone is interested in this disc the price is very good HERE
As of today Oct. 4th this is the tracking status (purchased from ImportCDS):If he did I didn't notice...you really can't expect me to keep up with his new purchases:ugham: I'd have to hire a few people...the man is a buying machine..maybe he will see this and respond...I actually thought you bought that one...
I'll check with AP.
Sooner than you think apparently. Check the Acoustic Sounds site.Thanks, Brian.
BTW, when, when, WHEN is AP going to release Peter Paul and Mary's ALBUM 1700 and their Live in Concert SACDs..........? Seems like eons that these titles have been in pre~release limbo.
Album 1700 in Stereo SACD sounds good.
Nice to have Leaving On A Jet Plane and I Dig Rock 'N' Roll Music on SACD!
I noticed you used "sounds good"...not excellent or some other lofty description....I'm wondering how this one compares to the other AF Peter Paul and Mary SACD discs in the sound quality dept..
My favorite Peter, Paul & Mary SACD to date is In The Wind on Audio Fidelity.
The sound quality and detail is really something. An excellent remastering from Analog Tape.

That's my favorite as well and I have heard that 1700 doesn't quite reach that mark...although it would be nice to have "leaving on a jet plane"...I have quite a few PP&Mary discs and I'm on the fence about this one...I don't have the enthusiasm that Ralphie has for this album...thanks Brian for your honest input....I always value your opinion
Clint, I was basing my opinion of PP&M's Album 1700 from a stunning sounding Warner Open Reel (7 1/2ips) which I used to play (to death) years ago. I agree with Brian that AF's In The Wind is a revelation on SACD so when I 'splurge' on the two AP PP&M SACDs I'll have something to compare it with. I do know that Album 1700 was a breakthrough album for the group upon its release and all the audio mags went ga ga over it.
But times have CERTAINLY changed.
And who can contest the Multichannel Maven's impeccable taste? And he certainly has the ultra sophisticated SACD hardware to effect such a comparison.
BTW, our local PBS station has recently been airing a PP&M retrospective and what I cannot believe is how the once gorgeous Mary Travers has 'pumped up.' Yowza!:yikes
