The World has gone mad. Who in their right mind could even consider buying this release? Charging this much for a withering SACD format will only hasten its demise.

Most of this already released by Dutton, including the original Quad tracks. Only the Sacre du Printemps was not realeased by Dutton but by Sony time ago Stravinsky: Le Sacre du printemps - Boulez For some reason Dutton pubished the Metha version instead Stravinsky: L'oiseau de feu, Le Sacre du printemps - Boulez, Mehta probably as they preferred a Quad version
