Question Dark Side of the Moon on HDCD, I beg your pardon WHAT?

Hi! Has anyone heard about an HDCD release of
the Dark Side of the Moon? I've come across
a used copy for $50 in a store.
It was from Asia (Japan? Korea?..)
"HDCD" was printed on the packaging and inside on the disc.
Was it fake? I am confused.

See you on the HDCD Side of the Moon

Adam

I mistakenly bought a supposed "HDCD" on Ebay a few years ago and it didn't play right - I can't remember exactly what was wrong

Needless to say I think they're a bit dodgy! Probably made in the far-east at a cut-down price and sold on to gullable westerners (such as myself)

Exclamation No, it was NOt this one! It had the HDCD logo.

Thanks, it was NOT this CD release. I've got the bar code
written down somewhere. It had a mispelling on the CD itself:
manifactured ("i" instead "u"). I'll check it out.

See you on the GOLD or SACD Side of the Moon
and NOT on the HDCD one which does NOT exist!

Exclamation HDCD "The Wall LIVE": 6 900558 193008

Hi! Here is the barcode of this SUPPOSEDLY HDCD release
of "The Wall Live" by Universal Music, ... Japan:
6 900558 193008. I think that an HDCD release does NOT
exist at all and this one is FAKE!

Do NOT see you on the "FAKE HDCD" Side of the Moon
