SH Spotlight Nat King Cole "LOVE IS THE THING" (1956) in new multi-channel SACD & 45 RPM LP from Analogue Prods.

Is this the 45rpm lp you are speaking about? If so, how long has been "backordered"? It was pressed at AP, Acoustic Sounds? Didn't see the SACD.
Went on ebay, 22 pages, only Capitol's.

I hate auto-correct. Of course, I meant labels.

 

That's the one.

 

Would Nat have had a say in how everything sounded, especially his voice quality, levels, etc?

 

Steve, why were you asking about dead wax info?

 

Do you know what year Capitol changed from the black label to the rainbow, if that's the correct name, label?

 

Did the info from my black label tell you anything about my pressing? I'm particularly curious as to what that little thing that looks like a hand-drawn cartridge with stylus indicated.

 

I know this has been said many, many times but I simply just love this release. I have the SACD and the 45. I also have the DCC and a few early pressings, shhhhh.......

 

Thank you.

The rainbow label had a lot to do with the introduction of stereo LP releases by Capitol:

 

Here's a reply from AS that I just received today, they never carried the SACD, just only the lp. Was it on another label by chance?

Hi there David, and thank you for reaching out!
I am sorry, I do not have a release date yet for the backordered AAPP 824-45.
We do not currently offer this title on SACD, however that does not mean that we will not in the future! Are you signed up for our newsletter? This will keep you up to date on all pressings.

All the best,

We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please reply to this email.

Acoustic Sounds

 

Just accordingly what the sales rep said. That was what I was going by. Do you have one? If you did where did you purchase it?

 

Until very recently, the Love is the Thing SACD was "limited stock" for $49.99 at Acoustic Sounds, so they definitely carried it.

 

I know they carried it when it came out. I bought the 45rpm, but the SACD was readily available.

 

One of the first things I bought after becoming a new member here. I can't believe this thread is 7 years old already; time goes too fast. This and the other Nat King Cole albums on Analogue Productions and Welcome To The Club on Audio Fidelity are still the crown jewels among my music collection. They pop up in the classifieds every now and then and when they don't sell right away I shake my head - do people not know how good these sound? I know these are expensive, so to anyone on the fence about buying, go ahead and pull the trigger. You will not be sorry!

 

My apologies if this has already been answered, but does anyone know why the SACD Love is The Thing (and for that matter "Where Did Everyone Go" SACD too) is no longer available though the 45RPM LP releases by Analogue Productions is still in production? All of the other Nat SACDs (Just One of Those Things, St. Louis Blues, etc) by Steve are still available and all the 45RPM releases are still available. Acoustic Sounds seems to be continually repressing them.

 

I didn't catch which ones were available but AP had a big Black Friday Sale and they were 50% off for either the SACD or the 45 RPM. WHAT A DEAL!!!!

 

Steal..er..still going on

 

Note that there is NO free shipping when you purchase one of the 1/2 price records. They're charging about $18.50 for economy shipping to my northeast U.S. address with 3 records in my cart. Still a good deal, but the record essentially goes from 1/2 off to 1/3rd off.
