Availability of Analogue Productions titles is always more limited in "mainstream" stores. Usually the SACDs only become available weeks after they were released and sold by Acoustic Sounds, the label owner

Astounding clarity. Nat King Cole sounds like he's close enough to touch. Almost uncanny. Two problems though. They mixed in the mono tracks with the stereo. Wish they had put the mono all at the end. I noticed a marked difference in quality from track to track that was annoying, and the repetition made these already similar-sounding songs a bit monotonous. My second objection is with the music itself. The songs are pretty frivolous. But if you like this kind of music, don't hesitate. The stereo tracks must be heard to be believed. His voice is crystal clear.

Looks like audio magazines are finally starting to recognize Grimm Audio mastered SACDs...

"...not just any SACD: its layers are set up so you can enjoy it in mono, stereo, three-channel and, if your processor has worthy rear-channel extraction, in surround. However you choose to play it, the sound is so silky and natural that you'll use this as a demo disc." Sound Quality = 95% out of 100% - Ken Kessler, HiFi News, November 2010
