What albums are they? I'd look for the letters DSD. Universal and the Stones remasters are the worst labeled I've seen. Capitol's Pink Floyd is pretty vague too. Sony has a funny little oval symbol that symbolizes SACD. It's a good thing that Super Audio CD is written below it because there's nothing intuitive about their silly symbol.

Groove Note, Analogue Productions, Chesky, DMP, Mobile Fidelity, Zoe, AudioQuest, Waterlily, Rounder, and Telarc have silver stickers onthe front of the jewell case that make it obvious what you're getting. Best wishes!

Jam & Spoon, Tripomatic fairytales 2002. I found out what SACEM meant, its to to with recording agreements etc (I have seen that on several ablums), this is the first time I have seen the sacd initials written in the same symbol. Its distributed by Sony and uses a sort of rounded off square, with SACEM along the top and sacd written down the sides.
