Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 RCA Living Stereo SACD

I've ordered and returned three copies of this SACD/CD hybrid reissue from three different sources -- Acoustic Music, CDUniverse and ArkivMusic -- because each disc had the same manufacturer's defect. The CD layer contains the correct music, but the SACD layer contains some reggae-inspired pop music of unknown origin (at least, to me).

I have the other nine reissues in the first Living Stereo set, and have found a few references to the defective Tchaikovsky 6 disc on various online sites (amazon.com, etc.), but can anyone tell me who might be offering the correct version of this disc?

That must be Tchaikovsky's much lesser known "Jamaican Symphony" on the other layer. Not many folks know about it. Give it some time, it'll grow on you.

I have the same disc, I think? Living Stereo, T-6 op74 Boston Sym. Orch. SACD Hybrd. Mine has three formats on it. SACD Surround, SACD stereo and CD Audio.

SACD stereo and Redbook play properly. Can't check surround, I am 5.1 challenged.

None of the Living Stereos are 5.1, in my experience. They are either 3.0/2.0 or just 2.0.

when listening to Jamaican Symphony, it can be anything between 2 channel and 7.1 channel surround. All depends on the quality of grass.
