Question - are Blu-Spec CD's a better quality than SACD? I see ELO has their catalog on this format.
Depends on your ears winking smiley.
Blu-ray is coded in DTS-HD Master Audio. Which is essentially HD LPCM codding with 24 bit / 192 kHz sample rate.
[en.wikipedia.org]
SACD is made using Direct Stream Digital coding. This one is completely different technology 1 bit / 2.8 MHz.

Question - are Blu-Spec CD's a better quality than SACD?

Blu-spec CDs are normal Audio-CDs (PCM, 44.1kHz/16bit), introduced by Sony Music in 2008. The difference is the manufacturing of the CD-Master: Blu-spec uses a blue laser (instead of infrared) which allows the CD-structures to be produced more precisely and with less Jitter. Since 2012 the CD-Master of Blu-spec is made of material from making wafers in the semiconductor-industry. It results in a smoother surface to produce the Audio-CDs even more precisely and with even less Jitter. Blu-spec CDs (still RedBook-CDDA compatible) can be played in any normal CD-Player. But Blu-spec CDs do not contain any further audio-information - they're more comparable to Super-High-Material (SHM) CDs.

As mentioned above, Super Audio CD (SACD) - [en.Wikipedia.org] - is a completely different technology (based on DSD 2.8MHz/1bit) which allows to store additional audio-information.

So which one has a more crisp sound that allows for the best listening quality? It's subjective?

Definitely Super Audio CD (SACD) - but it needs a SACD-Player (and a better quality of the other audio-components is not bad either).

Still you'll need to get The Rolling Stones and The Rolling Stones No.2 elsewhere. Though, jpc.de still have them listed.

Stunning 60 years on we're still getting more repackages of the original decade. I guess that's a good thing they can still generate enough interest to have people buying this.

I'm probably not in the market for another SACD release as I bought the original SACDs in 2002 however I am contemplating that new MONO box if it is established it is actually being released.

Some of them.
1. England's Newest Hitmakers - all mono
2. 12x5 - 6 tracks in mono, 6 in stereo
3. The Rolling Stones, Now! - 9 mono, 3 stereo
4. Out Of Our Heads (US) - all mono
5. Out Of Our heads (UK) - all mono
6. December's Children - 11 mono, 1 stereo
7. Big Hits - 8 mono, 4 stereo
8. Aftermath (US) - all stereo
9. Aftermath (UK) - all stereo
10. Got Live If You Want It! - out of phase mono (electronically reproduced stereo) + stereo. The weirdest one in the set.
11. Between The Buttons (US) - all stereo
12. Between The Buttons (UK) - all stereo
13. Flowers - 2 mono, 10 stereo
14. TSMR - all stereo
15. Beggars Banquet - all stereo
16. Through The Past, Darkly (US) - 2 mono, 9 stereo
17. Let It Bleed - all stereo
18. Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out - all stereo
19. Hot Rocks - combination of mono and stereo tracks
20. More Hot Rocks - combination of mono and stereo tracks
21. Singles Collection - The London Years - combination of mono and stereo tracks (CD1 and CD2 all mono, CD3 - 4 mono tracks)
22. Metamorphosis - all stereo.

All mono tracks from 2002 and 2016 are not equivalent. Though, marginally different.

2002 stereo version of Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is not equivalent to stereo version from 2009
2002 stereo version of TSMR is not equivalent to stereo version from 2017
2002 stereo version of Beggars Banquet is not equivalent to stereo version from 2018
2002 stereo version of Let It Bleed is not equivalent to stereo version from 2019
2002 version of Hot Rocks is not equivalent to 2022 version

Thanks for replying and the detailed breakdown Ironbelly. I also have the box sets for TSMR, BB and LIB so the redundancy level for me is pretty high...not that that's stopped me before!

Indeed! Fun but it can be expensive. I'm going to have to start thinning out the collection. I have so many copies of some things it's ridiculous. My only saving grace, or at least this is what I tell my wife, is that a lot of it has appreciated in price.

Strange Guys at Amazon. I order the 12 SHM-CDs of The Rolling Stones from Amazon.fr, they turn out to be coming from Amazon.co.uk.
Same story for the Stones In Mono Box, which I order from Amazon.es, it turns out that they come from Italy Amazon.it.is
See the red arrows in the photos.

I believe it is related to the load of their logistic centers. Last year I ordered from .es (due to low price and free shipping) but got parcel from UK.
