Stones on SACD - Tempting?


With the announcement of a large number of Rolling Stones reissues on hybrid-SACD, done by a well respected recording engineer, is SACD-capability in your system more likely? There's no question in my mind that this is the right type of thing to energize the market for SACD, though for me personally this announcement won't push me over the edge. If this happened for, say, three of my favorite longtime bands, coupled with a half dozen new releases I was interested in being released in hybrid-SACD format as one of their initially released formats, I would get SACD capability for my system in some form.

Even if it doesn't prompt me to buy SACD capability immediately, it's nice to know I can purchase the hybrid discs and use them until I get SACD capabilty. So, they might not sell me a player yet, but they'll probably sell me a couple more discs than I would have bought. -Kirk

The (digital) ones to beat IMHO are the Virgin Records reissues of Stones material, not all but lot of good ones. If SACD can beat those, they've got something!
I wonder if they have a trick up their sleeve or are they shooting themselves (SACD) in the foot. IMHO the Rolling Stones are infamous for very poor recordings (not music). Can they make a silk purse from a cows ear?
