You are incorrect on a few things in regards of SACD. I own and use both DVD-A and SACD and I can tell you right now that SACD is the better of the two formats. The biggest reason why SACD is better is due to the fact that the audio bitrate stream on SACD is higher than the one found on DVD-A plus the fact that SACD is strictly dedicated to audio only. Plus the fact that SACD is capable of allowing both the standard CD plus SACD versions on one disc (the new Rolling Stones remasters for instance are hybrid CD/SACD discs). In either case eventually there will be players on the market that are capable of playing both formats that can be found at decent prices. The closest thing right now is some $300ish Apex player but anyone with enough brains knows how crappy anything from Apex is. Angel C.

Hi Maggie Lol,I was wondering the same thing.I mean,even for someone who maybe wasn't aware of Stewart's wacky sense of humour,you'd think it'd be obvious that he was kidding...also,it's interesting that the published reports list Sting as having been invited rather than The Police...so if they can't have the band all together they're inviting Sting as a solo act?

Re: Police digest, Vol 1 #380 - 4 msgs

Jason,thanks for explaining about this new format.I find it really weird that they're doing this;disappointing too.I mean,with the possibility that Stewart's "derangements" would appear as bonus tracks on the re-released Police albums,I (and I'm sure many others here) would have considered them an essential purchase.But if they turn out to be on some format that most people won't have,then what's the point of the re-release.Surely the record company won't make much money out of the albums,and they'll annoy the fanbase... >From: police-request(a)mailman.xmission.com >Reply-To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com >To: police(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Police digest, Vol 1 #380 - 4 msgs >Date: Mon, 09 Dec 2002 06:26:41 -0700 > >Send Police mailing list submissions to > police(a)mailman.xmission.com > >To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police >or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > police-request(a)mailman.xmission.com > >You can reach the person managing the list at > police-admin(a)mailman.xmission.com > >When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >than "Re: Contents of Police digest..." > > >Today's Topics: > > 1. re-release info (Ross Viner) > 2.

Mandela/Miles
by Maggie White 09 Dec '02

09 Dec '02

A snippet from a story on Pollstar.com: Artists have yet to be announced, but you can bet there will be numerous big names on the bill. Published reports say that Mandela has invited Bono, Macy Gray, Shaggy, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Bob Dylan, Elton John, and Michael and Janet Jackson to participate. The Police were rumored a few weeks ago to be reuniting for the event - even possibly teaming up with Bono. However, those were quickly quashed when Miles Copeland - brother and manager to Policeman Stewart - said the band had not agreed to play at the event. Tickets to the concert are free and will be distributed by competition or lottery, details of which will be announced shortly. There will be live coverage of the event on mandelasos.com, as well as a global TV broadcast. " OK - Since when did an obvious tongue in cheek JOKE from Stewart end up as Stew and Andy RUMORED TO REALLY playing with Bono?!?!!? Maggie

re-release info
by Ross Viner 09 Dec '02

09 Dec '02

from http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#policegabriel Morning all! We've got some good news for you fans of Peter Gabriel and The Police. Our own Matt Rowe got a great scoop from insiders at Universal Music. The company plans to release Peter Gabriel's Up on SACD on 1/14. In addition, they're planning 3 additional TBA catalog titles from Gabriel later in 2003 (no word on which ones yet, but my money's on Us, So and Security/PG4). Even better news is that the company will release the ENTIRE Police catalog on SACD in 2003 in honor of the band's 25th anniversary. This will include Outlandos d'Amour, Regatta de Blanc, Zenyatta Mondatta, Ghost in the Machine, Synchronicity, Every Breath You Take: The Classics and Live. Note that there's no word yet on possible DVD-Audio releases of these titles. Be sure to check out Matt's MusicTAP site for other SACD and DVD-Audio news. What is SACD anyway?
