    Brothers in Arms is the only MOFI title there, the others are Warner Bros resissues out for a while now.

    It is a 16-bit DDD recording though...

    I thought of that after I posted. Thanks for pointing that out :).

    That's what populated with their search tool. Perhaps the thread starter can provide a link to where these SACD's are on the Music Direct site?

    Absolutely

    It's such a criminally underrated album. Just the title track alone ranks among the finest ever songs Mark Knopfler has ever done

    Digital? yes, so is 'Brothers in Arms'. And it was released by MFSL :wave:

    I checked, and it looks like it's still the 2016 version, which doesn't have many current or upcoming releases in it.

    Now just wondering...do you have the lp? I mean, it's so good anyway, is there going to be that much of an improvement. Love Over Gold is an audiophile's dream on vinyl.

    I only have it on Warner Bros CD (I used to have the remaster, but once I listened to the original WB CD, I sold it)

    Really hope these MFSL SACD will be the definitive audiophile versions. There's been quite a few releases in the past (SHM, SHM SACD, etc) but none of them is still THE definitive, IMHO

    :wave:

    There is another thread:
    More Dire Straits coming on Mobile Fidelity vinyl...!!??? »

    That information is from the printed catalog insert from inside the album, the most recent version listed the Dire Straits titles.

    Sorry, we seem to be having a separate conversation here. You're here to discuss vinyl. I'm here to discuss SACD.

    I'm conversing about the latest up-to-date info on new releases from MOFI, and as far as i've seen there is no SACD information.

    The process for new releases usually goes: Vinyl ---> SACD. So if the vinyl info is starting to emerge, the SACD will likely follow.
    It appears from the person who posted this thread, that the next catalog to come out has
    added the SACD listings to the vinyl versions that have already been shown.
    At this point, that's what we know. Like others have said, it can be a long time between
    titles being announced, and actually arriving.

    It sounds like the OP just received a new catalogue, last time it took a while for the newest to appear as a PDF on the MD web page. That may be why we can't see the listing.

    Exactly my point. It wasn't necessary to keep replying. The thread starter claimed:

    They don't always do SACD with vinyl (Grateful Dead, anybody?), and they are not bashful about announcinging in well in advance. So, unless @Joey_Corleone can show where he find this information, there's no much to go on here.

    you'd think MOFI would just put up the PDF of the inserts that come with the records on their website!

    Remember the Candy-O thread, Bill. Someone would not believe it was coming even though pictures were up on the site. You need to prove it!

    Thanks for checking, that is good news.

    Hi,

    I didn't see it on the MD site at all. I received a hard copy of their catalog today in the mail. They are advertised in that catalog on two different occasions.

    They have them listed $49.99 for the vinly and $29.99 SACD
