Then, for the sake of completeness, Keep Your Eye On Me.
CDs are fading away. Common used CDs don't even move much at the used stores anymore. I second this--buy them soon, and don't expect them to be there in five or ten years time. It will be nice if they are still around but if not, it's like all the other CDs we have all missed over the years--you snooze, you lose! Then it's back to $300 a pop for Fandango.Here's something to think about - don't snooze and think you're going to get these CDs too far down the road. In 2-3 years, CDs will likely not be issued any more! The good news - the re-issues will be very reasonably priced.
I don't even recall seeing it on vinyl. Although I know it was, since later albums were released on vinyl. I had this on CD when it came out--a gift, if I recall.Ah, but it was. CD 5082. Mine was pressed in West Germany.
On digital, I've never been able to figure out what would be best. I only use a Apple stuff. Don't have Pomo. And don't own software for conversions though I've wondered if there's freeware available for this.
Question: If a person downloads HDTracks and then makes a CD from those tracks, will it sound better than a CD directly from the reissue program?

These reissues are good for collectors/completists, so the copies I don't buy can go to someone who hasn't heard the music before (which is where these releases are being targeted).
As for pricing, the high-res files when on sale cost about the same as a full-priced $15 CD (the last HDTracks sale I caught was 20% off). A bargain considering it's the same quality they used in the studio when remastering these titles. The vinyl titles should sound superb, given they are being sourced directly from the analog masters.

If you went the HDTracks route, you could download the albums as an apple lossless file (ALAC) and they will open right in the software. FLAC is more standard, and there are players and utilities for OSX and IOS that would handle those, some of them likely being freeware. I've use the JRiver player on both Windows 10 and OSX (it is identical) but it is not a free player. But, it plays most formats I throw at it, which is what I need.
Ordered Lonely Bull thru Summertime.which albums are you planning on getting first?
I noticed that the release date was 9/9/16 which would be on Friday. Aren't all musical releases done on Tuesday?
I would say that's probably about 95% of the reason, with the "store displays" reason being the other 5%.Actually, for some online sellers who want to get the product into the hands of the buyers on release day, having it be a Friday works out a little better than the unreliable shipping schedules over a typical weekend.
