In Reply to: Just emailed Decca Music Group regarding next batch of Mercury Living Presence SACDs? posted by Teresa on March 21, 2006 at 19:11:52:
hi teresathanks to your constant clamouring on this website, we decided to launch the first 20 sacd titles, against the advice by our parent label, umg. sales went well the first 1000 copies but halt arruptly soon after. it seems like outside of these board, there is not much interest in re-purchases even if these titles had been spice'd up in our studio with hi-resolution 24-bit equipment. our dealers keep having customers coming up to them asking if we have pavarotti on DVD instead. Now bank loans to secure these state of the art studio equipment have to be paid up by the end of this month, or my mom will lose her skirt down her waist. If you know any education institution who might want to encourage their students to take up the rest of the 9,000 copies or so of each title, please let us know. thanks.
