Dear Audiophile,

I am a Sade's fan and I have been waiting a long time for her albums on SACD.
I know Sony has launched Lovers Rock on SACD in 2000, if you are trying to sell your SACD album, please send me an email.

Best regards.

Hi,

Are you sure it was released? Maybe it was just announced. Apparently, the Amazon.com link you posted is the only trace of this SACD, and there is one Marketplace seller, who may have got this wrong, or who is selling a rare pre-production copy (but in that case the $50 price would be quite low)

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000051XX6/

I googled on "lover's rock" + SACD and found no other info on this disc.

Maybe the best solution is to contact the Marketplace seller to ask for a confirmation that it's a SACD.

I recall having seen 'Lovers Live' (or this one -- I may have got the titles mixed up) on SACD in the shops when I lived in Singapore in 2004. I can't find any trace of it now.

There's an 2003 *announcement* of the "Lovers live" SACD here (last disc in the list):

But's it's impossible to find listed (even as an OOP item) in online stores.

Hi Claude,

Thank you for your answer. I asked to the Marketplace seller, but it was a mistake...bad for me...if you have an another way...best regards.

I'm still hoping that Sony eventually releases "Diamond Life" on Hybrid-CD (SACD), and unlike other Epic releases, its a decent transfer — latest DSD mastering.

Thanks for posting the info about Diamond Life. Where did you hear that album is getting a DSD remastering?

Many Sony CD reissues from the past 6 years are DSD-mastered. DSD is used by Sony as an archival format for analogue tapes.

The fact that a DSD-remastered CD is being released is no indication that a SACD will follow.

As she lives in my village just down the lane why don't I ask her?!

konoyaro, that link is for a "blu-spec CD" NOT Hybrid-CD.
I'm not sure if it is a DSD remaster but I'd be surprised if it wan't.
cheers
