The question arises, what is the BEST sounding SACD of the two titles mentioned? And this is really NOT relevant, but SONY also released Kind of Blue as a mch dualdisc (the Dolby Digital variety).
And if more double dipping SACDs were listed, it would be a copious list.
Isn't it time they stopped duplicating titles, ad nauseam, as SO many more deserving titles have never had a high def transfer in any format?

Exactly, and even before they turn their eye towards other artists, there are so many more albums even in Stan Getz's catalog that deserve an SACD release.

I think the record labels reissue and reissue and are simply waiting for traction. Reasonable. I mean, they knew SO well how to launch, market and nurture SACD. Can't recall, was Flubber a laboratory accident? Perhaps they're waiting for an event which has already occurred? I do wonder what goes on during a typical day at, say, Sony, for example. Could it be the entire music division is under Martian mind control, and the number one album on Mars is made always to be "Kind of Blue"? Or a homing beacon? Yeah, a homing beacon. Or it could be something akin to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and Getz and Gilberto would naturally be conducive to the evolution from pod to human. How can one justify this pattern? What data are they looking at? I would like to hope that November's "Wish You Were Here" could stand a chance of getting "asleep-at-the-wheel" label folk wakened enough to at least stop and ask for directions. Please assure me that even we aren't buying every reissue of these albums in question? That could be embarrassing, couldn't it?

Let's see, the highest grossing SACD ever released was Pink Floyd's "DSOTM." So it ONLY took approximately 8 years to release a second Pink Floyd album on SACD, which will probably outgross DSOTM. So at this rate perhaps we'll see the Wall by 2016 or wait, the Wall Part I in 2016 and the Wall Part II in 2024!

There are four versions of "Ella and Louis" listed here.
