What’s the longest you’ve had a SACD preorder in?

and why did you leave the order in?

I’m not sure there will ever be a “Love Over Gold” SACD reissued. Am I dumb for waiting or dumb for wondering?

Also if your preorder was less than the current preorder price, will the original be honored?

Tell me your stories and experiences.

 

Nothing?

 

I'm pretty sure just about every answer is going to be the MFSL Dire Straits SACDs, which unfortunately seem to never be coming out.

 

I think it was one of the recent Hendrix. Are you? I finally just cancelled the order. There was another in there somewhere too I ended up cancelling.

 

What’s the actual deal with that?

 

MFSL has announced SACDs before that never came out. In some cases, the label pulled the deal before they got around to releasing them. In this case the market is already filled with Japanese SHM-SACDs for the Dire Straits, and I think the shrinking SACD market may have spooked MFSL. They've become far more selective releasing SACDs in the past 2-3 years.

 

Crime of the Century shm sacd from cdjapan…….ended up cancelled a year or so later.

 

Shouldn’t the distributors have a cap on what they advertise? Why go through the hassle of customer inquiries, orders, cancellations, etc? IMO MFSL has many active SACDs that would hv far less demand than Dire Straits. But maybe I’m overestimating Dire Straits demand?

I’m just curious whether they wait for an order queue to build, then print or whether the TBA isn’t tied to any process/project.

I don’t know why a retailer would waste the heir screen space.

 

A few months. Waiting for the Dire Straits-Dire Straits SACD, but it looks like it may never happen.

 

I cancelled. Silly to have it hanging open this long.

 

I waited just about 1 year for Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step SACD from Mofi.

I put it on preorder the week it was announced, then month after month after month slipped by - almost cancelled my order. But, did get it in the end.

 

As far as I know I still have a preorder in from over ten years ago w Music Direct. It’s for The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis, SACD. After about a year I bought it from CD Japan for about 150,000 yen or about $40. Maybe one day I’ll go to my mailbox and have a package from Music Direct.
