For some reason, that seems to be the case on a lot of HDCDs. Even hybrid SACDs can have the same mysteriously secretive branding. When I had picked up "Future Days" by Can, I thought I was just getting a redbook recording. When I got it home, I noticed the little SACD/DSD logo on the rear bottom corner. Nice surprise, but given the struggles hi-rez media has had in proliferating, you'd think they'd make more of an effort to showcase it's SACD layer.

Unless it's a special UK release but I think all copies are HDCD, shows up in WMP for me.

Almost a year since I started this thread the wait is almost over.

Beck - Sea Change Ultradisc II™ 24 KT Gold CD - Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Inc.

February 09, Still can't see how they can improve on this great sounding album, but I will be buying a copy to see what they can do.

Did anyone pick this up? If so how does it stand up to the original release?

 

[evanft]

It hasn't come out yet. It looks like it ships later this month.

 

[omegaman]

I had given up on this, 18 months ago I started this thread !!!!! Seems to be shipping now on musicdirect. May have to wait a few weeks before I pick it up, but I will be awaiting the reviews.

 

[andrew jc]

Right is says "Ships today" MUSICDIRECT - BECK - SEA CHANGE (NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION GOLD CD)

 

[mteorman]

As much as I so do not need this right now (my wallet is hurting, and I always thought the album sounded great)... I probably will end up getting it.

Perhaps I will make it my last music purchase for the summer - that should ease the buyer's remorse.

 

[Uncle Erik]

I'm really torn about this. I'd love to get the MFSL version, but the SACD is so damn good, I wonder if it would sound different at all.

 

[Dublo7]

so MFSL are considered good at re-mastering albums?

This is the first I've ever heard of them.

Then I seriously suggest you start looking into there library !!!!!!!!!

So MFSL is remastering any album (master) they can get their hands on. Sea Change doesn't need a remaster IMO.
