801: 801 Live | Downunderman - August 23, 2024
Released April 28, 2024, as a single disc SACD hybrid in a card sleeve. A bit surprisingly for a Japanese SACD release the disc is made/glass mastered by Sony DADC in ...
Yes: 90125 | Paul - June 9, 2024
Sorry, you are incorrect about this being sourced from a tape copy… I emailed Kevin Gray, he was the one that performed the mastering on this SACD release, and he told me ...
Yes: 90125 | Paul - June 29, 2024
This is without a doubt the definitive audio edition of this classic 80’s Yes album! I’ve been listening to this album for 40 years and it’s like listening to it for the ...
Van Halen: Van Halen | aubullience - August 25, 2024
I can't say it better than Downunderman did. IMO his characterization of it is accurate in all respects. And oh yes, misspent youth!
Yes: The Yes Album | aubullience - August 25, 2024
Both the SACD and 45 rpm releases of this album by AP are the hands-down winners in their respective (hi-res and analog) formats.
Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin' Simon | EugenF - September 10, 2024
On the disc it is written: Made in Austria. On the cover it is written: disc made in Germany. Where is the true?
Hall & Oates: Rock'n'Soul Part 1 | Phillip Abbinante - August 25, 2024
Was out of print/stock for quite a while from MOFI. Was recently back in stock as of August 20 2024.
Bruce Springsteen: The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle | Downunderman - August 5, 2024
Not an OMR but MoFi seem to have got lucky with their source tape all the same. My experience of this album on CD has been of a very clean, slightly bright and thin sound ...

In October TowerRecords is going to release a SACD version (newly remastered by UK ClassicSound) of this 1972 recording. - The BluRay seems to be out of print, so the upcoming release may be more than welcome!

Paul, as with most Tower Record releases, they aren't available on amazon or presto. Instead, have a look at cdjapan. There are many of the Tower Records items available (through their 'Proxyshopping'). The Mehta Turandot is already listed there:
