    This is kind of late notice but I was placing an order with Music Direct and I noticed they have a bunch of $60 SHM-SACDs marked down to $40. Add in the 15% weekend sale discount and that takes them down to $34. About as cheap as it gets for these.

    problem is that their list price in higher than the original price ,so its hardly a sale at all ,a cd that sells for 35 on ebay and CD Japan has a fake list price of 60.00

    They have the original first press shm sacd of Emotional Rescue at $29.99....$25.49 after discount.
    Love You Live in the big white box is definitely OOP everywhere and a deal at $34 with free shipping as well.
    Several other Stones original paper sleeves for those who need to fill in the gaps.
    Get you some!!:bdance:

    After a quick review of old threads, the Who Sell Out and Singles SHM-SACDs look to be worthwhile.

    Are these the ones packaged in jewel boxes or mini LP sleeves (I'd prefer them in JBs even if the latter is more collectable)

    You can tell by the catalog number. If the suffix is 90XX, then it is the original issue in the green cardboard sleeve. If the suffix is a higher number, it is the reissue in a jewel case.

    I don't see the cat numbers anywhere on that site, and the pics don't get big enough to read, even if they are the actual discs for sale?

    Also, I wonder why Emotional Rescue is the only title selling for $29.99?

    I ordered 3 titles with the correct pictures and suffixnumbers and now I got an email back that they don't sell the Stones shm-sacds in mini lp style.
    Strange as the pictures provided by them on their website sure are the pictures for the mini lp style.

    As I have more of them I know it for sure. These obis or labels are for the SHM-SACD mini lp style.
    They are also selling these ones and they are indeed the JEWEL case versions.

    I have now written a complaint and I'm waiting on a reply.
    I'll keep you posted.

    So the mini LPs use a blue Obi and the jewel boxes grey?

    Call me "crazy" but... I just looked at ebay prices for the 3 SHM-SACD's I ordered. None of them were lower than $44 shipped, even in jewel cases. Where are these cheap ebay prices you're seeing?

    sample ebay search: Tattoo You SACD.

    That Who disc is $38.50 shipped... so $34 shipped was not a sale?

    The cheapest prices for that stuff will usually be found at CDJapan.

    I'm not understanding you, it's $39.99 on Music Direct.

    Read the OP. Music Direct had an additional 15% off all music last weekend, taking it from $40 down to $34, and if you order two they ship free since the order total would be over $49.. They currently have an additional 10% off music, so now it's $36 instead of $34, but still cheaper than your ebay link.

    FYI cdjapan currently wants $32.14 plus $4.59 shipping for Tattoo You SACD, so last weekends deal was still cheaper (and it's still cheaper now but only by 73 cents).

    The mystery is solved. I got an email from them.
    They put the wrong pictures on the site. So they don´t have and don´t sell the SHM/SACDs in mini lp style.
    Cancelled my order.
    The wrong pictures were taking off their site.

    The same mastering in jewel cases at a good price is no good?

    They are also good but as a collector I started with buying the shm/sacd in mini lp style and now I wanna have the whole series. I like the mini lps very much.

    I thought that might be it. If you can get the remaining original issues, that would be great. They are, of course, out of print. Best of luck!

    You'd be surprised. I ordered a new turntable dust cover from Japan, and received it in less than a week. And my wife orders jewelry from China, and that takes about a week as well.

    I received my MusicDirect SHM-SACD sale order today, and though the Stones titles were of course
    the jewel box releases, several of the other items were in the mini-LP format:
    Velvet Underground VELVET UNDERGROUND AND NICO (UIGY-9028) as listed on the site
    John Lennon PLASTIC ONO BAND (UIGY-9644)
    Fairport Convention UNHALFBRICKING (UIGY-9548) Boxed mini-LP

    All items securely packed and received without any damage.
    I was pretty pleased with the purchase and with MusicDirect.
