Picked up Chris' Nightsession SACD. Great recording, very soothing contemporary jazz recording (Multi-Channel 5.1 very nicely done, channel separation is very distinct) He was with Sting previously (9/11/01 DVD Live in Italy) and now embarking on his solo career. He has Dave Koz's jazz flavor, modern and melancholy, great for rainy day....

I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Damn. I was listening to this SACD, and yeah, it's so good, both SQ (multichannel 5.1 with a clear emphasis of the instruments around the sweet spot) and artistry.

    Now that this album is OOP, the used one goes for around $200.

    Btw, where is Frank Z? haven't seen him for a long while around here.

    What does "OOP" mean in regards to this album? Why the heck is it so expensive?

    Joe, OOP=Out Of Production

    It's one of the best of early SACD Multichannel implementation.

    OOP can also mean "Out of Print".

    Why is it so expensive? SACD, and DVD-A as well, are usually pressed in much smaller numbers than their CD counterparts. Generally, once a pressing is done, it's done. With a limited number of copies available, and the superior sound quality of a SACD, OOP versions (in this case, the SACD) appreciate in value. Many SACD titles currently are appreciating in value....Alison Krauss, SRV, Steely Dan, Santana, Rolling Stones and non-mainstream titles from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Kraftwerk, etc.
