Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs: How's the quality? (1 Viewer)

[Gordon McMurphy]

I'm thinking about importing Cosmo's Factory and Willy And The Poorboys. How's the SACD on both? There's no 5.1 mix, right? Not that I'm bothered; as long as the original mix of an album is there in high-quality then I'm happy.

Strange that these are not available in the UK.

Cheers.

I only have Willie and it sounds great. No, there's no 5.1 mix despite some jewel boxes being mislabeled multi-channel.

I have the 5 that were originally released and they are much better than the std. CDs. These have been discussed in some other threads such as: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...ight=creedence

They're great, and that seems to be the consensus amongst everyone.

I think you've picked winners, and if you ask me, those are their best 2 albums too. Give'em a go! Best wishes!

Great stuff!

Thanks, folks!

I have heard most of them and the sonics are very good. Pretty much anything Steve Hoffman is mastering these days is a superb effort only limited by the master tapes.

I look forward to buying his new Donovan Storyteller disc.

Lee, "Storyteller" is great. I have not listened to the CD layer of the hybrid, but the SACD layer is worlds above the std. CDs I have.

Lee, "Storyteller" is great.

Thanks Phil. Can't wait to buy it.
