WOW, a SACD of Humble Pie's "Smokin' " Coming February 01, 2010. This is a must!!!

Thanks Mr.Fuse for the heads up!

The first round of the Nat King Cole SACD's is apparently coming very soon. Anyone else excited?

Me!!

I don't believe he mastered Humble Pie. Probably George Marino did the job.

I just hope they end up being sold on CD Pacific or Amazon. I really don't want to pay Acoustic Sounds's prices.

I pre-ordered all of them when they were still $30 each (excepting The NKC Story which is $65) from Acoustic Sounds website.
Because my order was over $250 I don't pay shipping, so the discs will be sent out as they become available with free shipping. Almost like a subscription. I'm paying a bit more per disc but the shipping evens it out and I won 't have to run around tracking down the best price then waiting as that retailer trys to get stock.

I wouldn't be shocked if you can get these for $25 or less somewhere else when they come out. I got 4 of the CCR SACD's for around $20.
