Amazon has some great titles for $14.99 or less with free shipping.

Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
Eric Clapton - Slowhand
Elton John - Madman Across the Water (Levon, Tiny Dancer)
Boston - Boston
Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks

Some pretty sweet titles and some great SACD prices.

yourmusic.com but the selection is limited to say the least. I have picked up a few Elton John and Eric Clapton albums of the SACD type there for 7.00 bucks with free shipping. I also have a couple of others from there at the same price. Take a look you may find a true bargin. No use in signing up for the sacd a month thing as there is not much to choose from and you get charged even if you have not picked on to be shipped.

The Billy Joel SACD's are amongst my favourites and they're from Sony. (Columbia)
Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic"
Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds"

The Sony umbrella has released some amazing titles across all genres and numerous classical DSD recordings.

A lot of people seem to diss Sony for the 2-channel recordings, but I have yet to find anything wrong with the fidelity on some of the early STEREO recordings like Thriller, Journey and some of the Dylan SACD's.

I don't find much that justifies that blanket statement.

war of the worlds sounds great! i had this on tape and then later on CD. was really psyched when the sacd came out.

yeah Dark side of the moon sounds better than amazing if there is such athing, lol (blu-ray), i just wish that sacd never failed and they released all music on it, cause its simply amazing. Lying down on the couch, lights turned off, and blasting dark side of the moon, what an experience, you really feel the music

Norah Jones' SACD is one of my best sounding pop/rock SACDs. Period. I must admit I prefer the imaging and soundstage from the 2 channel SACD track, compared to the multi-channel track, but I prefer 2 channel music listening as it is. The sonic improvements over the Redbook CD version are immediately apparent in her vocals and instrument treble extension.

I don't know if any of you like Snow Patrol at all, but their SACD release of The Last Straw sounds good as well. I also listen to Keane's SACD release of Hopes and Fears quite a bit, but I understand that's a hard one to find now.

It's listed here currently but at quite a steep price.
