Astonishingly enough, I don't already have a CD or even vinyl copy of this, though I remember it well from its release.

Same here, Paul. And it's the titles that I didn't have before for whatever lame reason that I'm more readily buying on hi rez compared to titles such as Bring the Family and Madman Across the Water which I have on MoFi Ultradiscs that I'm still balking at selling.

Thx for helping keep the thread alive, Danny. 
If the remastered CD I saw is any indication, I balked at the So SA-CD given the changes to the cover art and track order (and the sloppy lack of changing the session musician credits to conform to the new track order). My anal quibbles aside, how's the s.q. compared to the original CD, Danny?
I have the High Lonesome Sound DVD-A and, perhaps because this album was recorded digitally, I did not find a major improvement in s.q. compared to the original CD after an admittedly cursory listen.

Picked up Roxy's Avalon & Bowie's Ziggy recently. Avalon is great while Ziggy has it's moments.
Biggest suprise is Frankie goes to Hollywood's Rage I found used for $5. Fun stuff great in surround.
I now have 3 Elton SACD (0 LPs, CDs, tapes, LDs, DVDs)

Paul,
Many years ago, I had the CD to PG's So. Somehow I sold the CD and until recently, I have no PG CDs at all. I picked up PG's Hit album and I started thinking about picking up some of his SACDs. I have only listened to the SACD of So once and it's a slight improvement on the tracks that also appeared in Hit. However, the SACD is now only $13.99 at my local Best Buy, which is about the same as the remastered CD.
As for Vince Gill's High Lonesome Sound, I have only checked out the CD layer (HDCD-encoded) and the sound quality is very good. It's going into the SACD player real soon.

Just picked up the SACD reissue of the late-70s prog-pop classic, Jeff Wayne's "The War Of The Worlds". Sounds great - this is one album that always cried out to be in surround, and now it is. Ulla!!! |
