Wish You Were Here SACD

Excellent...

There are plans, so it is rumored, for releasing at least Meddle, WYWH, Animals, and The Wall on audiophile vinyl and on SACD by Thanksgiving (Christmas is coming).
But... as all things popular in the music world.... things change. Paul is not dead after all.
The buzz does seem to be more substatial than mere rumor though.
It's about time, I say. What the heck took them so long??

Ah yes..... lawyers. (hope my sister doesn't read that!)

I don't know about that. There will certainly be some kind of vinyl reissue to go along with the new digital remasters. Whether they will bother with more than one SACD is a different matter entirely. To be honest, the format is approaching irrelevancy now that Blu-ray audio and high-def downloads are taking off.

Then again, I've been proven wrong before. From this excellent report on and preview of the new SACD, it appears that James Guthrie is still tirelessly advocating for more releases in the format. It seems to me that this new release wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Then again, I was very surprised to hear that Universal Music Japan is independently releasing SACD versions of The Rolling Stones' post-1971 material now. Perhaps future Floyd reissues of that nature aren't out of the question entirely.
