For the right price, I might be interested.

Very, very nice. An excellent album as it is should sound outstanding in SACD multi-channel. Need to see what CD Japan puts it our for.

The 5.1 Mix has been out on a Single Layer SACD since 2001. So has "The Stranger". Both are now OOP. The 5.1 Mix on this pretty good, but the mix on "The Stranger" is considered to be a reference disc for 5.1 systems. An interesting note from Wikipedia about the original release:

"The album is notable for being among the first albums commercially released on the compact disc format, reaching store shelves on October 1, 1982 in Japan (it was one of fifty CDs released that day, including three other Joel albums, but bore the first catalogue number in the sequence, 35DP-1, and so is frequently cited as the first to be released)."

yep I have those 2 and back then I advised people to snatch them up even without a 5.1 system because they will go OOP.
Don't know if Jimbo has a collection of all these SACD/DVDA's that are now OOP and rare.

A beautiful set.
