July it is. That’s the latest word from the Universal Music Group in their latest listing of upcoming Super Audio CD releases in the U.S. market. Unlike last week, there are no new SACD titles on the list, but there are a few changes.
Highlighting the changes is the news that the albums Live at Fillmore East and Eat A Peach by the Allman Brothers Band are now slated for release on Surround Sound SACDs on July 13th. Also worth noting are several release date changes including the 6 Oscar Peterson SACDs moving back a week to May 4th, the upcoming SACDs by Jamie Cullum and Christina Milian moving from May to June 15th and the Surround SACDs from Eric Clapton and Derek & the Dominoes moving from June 15th to the Upcoming Titles list.
