Frampton anyone? (1 Viewer)

Anybody pick this disc (these discs) up today? I was tempted, but then saw the 20 $ pricetag at BB. Did pick up Gaucho however.

How is this disc sonically, especially the MC layer.
I bet that synth. sounds good!

Discussed a bit here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=156134

My copy has been shipped and I should see it before the end of the week. The (double) CD is even more expensive at some places and in the same price range in most others.

I am definately picking this one up...my bet is that it sounds GREAT. Please tell me it's multichannel.

 

[Phil A]

Yes it is advertised as multi-channel.

Chris,

I saw it at the Best Buy on North Point. I passed only because the Steely Dan was out and a new Chesky release (Three Guitars) I want to get later.

I think it was around $24 but it is a two disc set.

 

[Phil A]

It is $24.98 list and at cheap-cds.com it is $20.68 including shipping and handling. At the same site, the 25th anniversay CD is $27.59 and the regular CD is $22.01 with shipping and handling. At CD Universe, w/o shipping and handling the respective prices for the CDs are $27.19 and 21.05 so I don't think the SACD is overpriced at all.

Well the curiosity got the best of me, and I went out and bought it from BB for 19.99
I must say I'm a bit underwhelmed at this point, although I have never heard the redbook cd (just on the radio).

Also, the surround channels are used primarily (if not all) for crowd echoes, cheering, etc.
Sorta like the Live Kraus from what I hear.
