Yes. Yes.
You may have some in your collection already - look for the HDCD logo.
The King Crimson remasters are HDCD and I have one by Mark Knopfler.

Why do you want to know? There is no benefit from the format.

Virgin Records do more HDCD than most companies

All of Mike Oldfields stuff is now on HDCD

I found a few without knowing I had them:
The Flaming Lips last two albums, Pet Sounds and a Beck one I think.

Pete.

I own 2 of the discs, Lateralus by Tool and Counter-Culture Nosebleed by
Theory Of Ruin, but I don't have a HDCD player, so I can't tell you how it
sounds.

I have a Copland CDA266 which reads HDCD, just need to look through my
CDs for an HDCD!

I'll let you know.

Yes but this is from distant memory when HDCD was a hot and new thing:
1) The HDCD discs were Reference Recordings which, in general, are
excellent to begin with.
2) Playing them on the HDCD-compatible player, there was a slight bit
of better detail in the HF and the impression of it in the mids.
Dynamics were similar to the CD version.
3) Playing the HDCD on a non-HDCD player was no better and, at times,
not quite as nice as the CD version.

That catalogue is no where near a full list. I have bought quite a few HDCD
lately and none are on the list. There seems to be lost of HDCD in the country
and folk Americana music genres.

BTW how do you like the Copland, I'm looking to upgrade and that is on my
shortlist?
