Available this week according to a Audio Fidelity mailing sent last Friday. Let's wait and see.
I have the original RBCD and I am really looking forward camparing these. The original Scorpions albums aren't so well mastered, with all due respect for Dieter Dierks.

Here is the DR. rating. I am surprised the 1984 and 1989 discs are so good.

It seems, most RBCD releases prior to 1990 have a good shot at being pretty good.

Because as we've discussed, Mark......most of the older RBCDs were mastered from the original mastertapes and do not suffer the compression artifacts (read Loudness Wars) of current RBCDs (Rock/Pop)!

BTW, do you have the Depeche Mode box set Live In Berlin with the BD~A 5.1 of Delta Machine? Am currently playing the RBCDs and they sound incredible.

No don't have, never been a Depeche Mode fan.

Just as well, Mark, as the OOP DM SACDs are commanding high prices.

But I have to say, they sound superb in 5.1! Even the few Rhino DTS domestic reissues I have and the three SACDs.
