    My very first SHM CD arrived yesterday!
    I have read about that format. I would be interested to hear your thoughts. :)

    Well I finally had a chance to play this baby. But after closer inspection, I believe this is a fake! There are no SHM-CD markings whatsoever on the disc! See below for reference (from discogs):

    I got all bumbled up after not seeing the markings. Hadn't even played it, just put it back in the package. Reminds me of my many trips to Shanghai where there are street vendors everywhere selling fake CD/DVD/Blu-Rays. :confounded:

    Yeah, there's even bootleg record labels that recreate all the artwork/packaging similarly to how the legit one looks. The only difference is their little logo/name for the record label, instead of the real one.

    Then they sell them for ~75% less than the authentic ones. I hate to say it but I've purchased a few of them just to save money on a few rare releases.

    These guys are freeking KIDS, but they play with a power and maturity that is absolutely scary. Even Robert Plant is in awe of these guys. This release is not even a true studio recording as far as I know. Their first label release is due this fall.

    If this is what they have up front, they could be absolutely as big as any of the mega-bands of the old school stadium rock bands, and maybe bigger than a few of them combined.

    BIG thanks to Toolfan66 for turning me onto them.

    I have listened to a few cuts from that group..not bad,but in my opinion,they are going to have to get their hands on a top notch producer to really break into the big time as the style has been done before...
