HDCD, any new titles coming out?

None are bootlegs that I have received and all have been factory sealed. Check the feedback of the sellers. These guys sell a ton of CD's if they where fishy deals you would have heard about it. Try to buy multiple disks from the same seller so you will get discounts on combined shipping like I did with the 0.01 CD's I just bought. There are a some new releases in HD in China. I received Dido's new CD which included a bonus CD with remixes and stuff from her 1st. CD as well. I also bought Moby's 18 B-Sides CD which I think just got released here in North America and is also a two CD set with bonus material. One thing I must say is that in both cases the jewel box did not survive the trip and the center section which holds the disk in place had some broken tabs. One Cd had some scratches on the playing surface from sliding around but a little car wax and careful buffing fixed that. All disks play perfectly and are gold in color. I paid about $12.00ea. including shipping for those and I must say they sound excellent using a Linn Genki CDP. I will have to wait to see what the $0.01 Cd's that I just ordered are like but I am pretty confident from the sellers history they'll be fine. A lot of the China releases are double CD's with bonus tracks and not available around here unless someone imports them. I know someone that just bought a Patricia Barber HDCD for $43.00 and I saw one go for $7.99 including shipping last week. You can also find HDCD's in North America in fact there are a few on Audiogon right now. I've bought a few in North America and the UK as well with prices ranging from $6.99 - $22.00. Ebay seems to be a good option for the few HDCD people left out there to find music in HD. You just have to keep searching all the time.

And yes Microsoft did buy the HDCD technology hence its demise.

Bunner 100,do you know of any recent HDCD releases in the U.S.? Also, could you please let me know what your $0.01 HDCDs are like once you get them from China? Thanks in advace!

The only place I have ever seen new HDCD's for sale here in North America was in a high end audio equipment shop. The selection was limited and the prices ridiculous. I would think they where all imports. I will try to follow up on the cd's that come in from China as soon as I get them.

Received the three CD's from China a few days ago. All where mint and sealed. One of them I already have in the regular format ("Nora Jones, Come away with me") and In my humble opinion the HD version is far superior in sound quality.

3 more from Hong Kong > Diana Krall Live in Paris, Queen Best of for 10 years (2 CD's) and a 2 CD set of Diana Krall that included most of Live in Paris plus ;-( I was very disappointed in the quality of the discs - they had a couple "bumps" and some scratches - these were NEW, UNOPENED. I didn't feel the sonics were as good as the Verve Music US releases. These are on the Universal label. I would NOT recommend them. Microsoft did buy HDCD technology btw from Keith Johnson and company.
