The CDs seem to sell out much quicker than the vinyl releases.

It’s just a hunch, but t I would guess that probably has something to do with the vinyl price tag being $125. :mrgreen:

WACF is now up for pre-order, Fair Warning still says “Coming Soon”.

Thanks for the updates, but think anyone at MoFi knows what’s really going on?

MoFI…who knows, they move release dates around a lot. I looked it up, I placed my wholesale order for all 6 of these(vinyl and sacd) on 1-20-22!

I wish it was possible to pre-order the remaining 4 VH MOFI SACDs and be done with it.
I’ve pre-ordered a few SACDs to avoid the price hike, but the final 3 of the VH six pack are out of reach. :roll:

You can pre-order Fair Warning here: https://www.musicdirect.com/music/optical-disc/van-halen-fair-warning-numbered-hybrid-sacd/
and if you poke around, you can find DD and 1984 available for pre-order via other places, but I don’t know if they are trust-worthy. I would trust MD.
That being said, I have not pre-ordered anything other than what’s available on the official MoFi web site.

I’m sure this has been asked before (probably by me) but is the sound on these noticeably different? I know the manufacturer says it is but I’m somewhat skeptical.

Do you have to have special equipment to play these?

I would suggest checking out the Steve Hoffman Music Forums to read reviews of the discs from various people.

The LPs are playable on any turntable.

The SACD’s have 2 layers, one which plays on regular CD players, and one that requires a SACD player. To get the best sound, a SACD player is needed, but not required. The standard CD layer still sounds great!
