DO NOT BUY THIS SACD. BUY THE CD. YOU WILL ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE SAME PRODUCT.

Sony went back to the regualar 20 bit pcm masters and recorded it using dsd which in my book is a great big cheat on paying customers. What they should have done if they were truly interested in giving us paying customers the real deal is to get off their fat duffs and get out the master tapes. Then a dsd recording of these should have been done. Thay way we could have heard Perry's voice and Schon's guitar in all their glory.

This is a great album and the band deserves to be heard on a real sacd not a fake one.

Shame on Sony.
Do not waste your money. If you are looking for real classic rock on sacd.....it's out there and not hard to find. And it's a great listen too.

Heres hoping that a great company like Mobile Fidelity will aquire the rights to the master tapes. They would make a great sacd.

Performance:   Sonics:
This is an obvious rush-job from Sony done with no attention to detail or the original master tapes, as part of their first big set of SACD releases. It's an upgrade from the terrible first CD release of this album, but is not noticeably better than any of the subsequent CD remasters.

Performance:   Sonics:
As with a lot of the early Sony SACD discs, this one is certainly not the greatest. The treble is rather hot and the midrange is a bit on the grainy side. That aside, it is a bit of an upgrade from the CD and LP versions. I think this album has the potential to really shine, but I don't know that it's ever been fully realized. I'd like to see a proper Analogue Productions of Mobile Fidelity remaster of it some day.
