If it's any improvement versus the standard 2009 versions,as it should be,I welcome the releases.

Couldn't care less either - because I can't afford them. Shame that SACD died in the UK.

The price on these is certainly amusing.
I have the ABKCO SACD's and while I don't yet have an SACD player, I love them.
Any suggestions for a good player?

Not bad.
It is an excellent balance of value for money and performance.

This is probably a silly question but is there any chance these new updates could include slightly longer versions of any tracks (as was done with "Slave" at one point on a reissue of Tattoo You) or perhaps any bonus material? Such an act would help, at least, justify an inflated price.....

I read in www.stonesforum.de that the IORR Shm-SACD has "Fingerprint File" played 6% slower and "Till the next time..." has 8 sec. longer fade-out, but I have not got it myself.

I couldn't care less. To me, they finished with Exile.
Just my 2 cts. But each his own. Peace.

No silly question at all! The above mentioned SACDs do not provide any bonus material. I.e. "Slave" is only 4:56 min as I found out a sec. ago.
Say you'd pay 10 EUR for a "Tattoo You" 2009 remaster CD, then I'd add 10 EUR for the cover and 20 EUR for the improved sound, the rest is pure luxury.

I received SF, LYL, TY and DW yesterday on SACD (no hybrid). Delivered by www.jpc.de (Germany).
The price was 50 EUR each (~ $ 71 or GBP 44).
I did not listen to DW yet. All others sound better to me than the CDs. I would not call it a miracle as the original recording material limits the improvement.
On SF I find MT's guitar more present and fuller, "singing" at its best, on LYL the guitars sound sharper and more concise to me, I can hear different parts of Charlie's drums on TY (!).
The hearing experience is totally subjectiv. It is definitely worth some more bucks for the sound and the really luxurious cover (notice: all liner notes in japanese), decide yourself!
I cannot recommend amazon.de for ordering the new Shm-SACDs. The product descriptions are sloppy, the prices high and the release dates are partly wrong. I would not trust them to deliver the SACD while there are Shm-CDs, Shm-SACDs and Hybrid-SACDs of the Rolling Stones. To amazon.de is just all "audio-CD".
I would buy "Still Life" and "Exile On Main Street" at once on SACD. Waiting...
