Joe Cocker: With A Little Help From My Friends        (6 of 8 found this review helpful)
  July 22, 2015

Sound is OK for a SACD but not special. I compared the sound of this SACD with the same tracks included in Mr. Cocker´s box set Long Voyage Home.

There are differences in the quality among the tracks but at the end this is pure SACD sound: bold sound, excellent dynamics, good instrument separation, a lot ... more
