"no-one uses HDCD anymore"

That Neil Young fillmore album is HDCD. I think the continued use of the format is mainly a Warner Music Group thing.

SACD required specialized players (I think some of them also work with DVD players though), so HDCD is still valid for most listeners.

Most SACDs are dual layer discs with a normal redbook layer too.

My car CD player jumps all over the place even if you drive over a shadow.

However, the Nick Drake "Treasury" dualformat CD plays perfectly.

Odd, that.

What's the betting that they start with the 40th Anniversary Remastered Reissue of Sgt Pepper next June?

Sounds not at all unlikely. I was a bit surprised they didn't do a 30th Anniversary one in 1997, considering "Anthology" and Britpop had given them a lot of publicity.

Well, now Macca's gotta pay for a divorce, so it could happen. Besides, IIRC the disc that's out now was the 20th Anniversary edition.

That is true. The release of the CD edition was 1. June 1987, exactly 20 years after the original album release.

However, 20 years is a long time and even though the remastering was very impressive state of the art work back in 1987, it still doesn't hold up today.

1987 was 19 years ago. Do-WEE!
