In Reply to: RE: Which titles do you wish most to be released on SACD? posted by jeromelang on March 26, 2014 at 01:08:13
Of course, the standards......Led Zeppelin & The Beatles.
Plus my personal favorites:
REO Speedwagon -REO TWO + Riding The Storm Out
UFO - Force It
Alice Cooper - Killer + Love It To Death (I just bought Billion Dollar Babies)
Any Rory Gallagher (stay away from the 'Big Guns' SACD, it is horrible sounding)
Supertramp - Crime Of The Century
I could go on and on but I'm not going to hold my breath for any of these. I pre-ordered the Blu-Ray Audio of Crime Of The Century but cancelled after waiting for months and months and it still hasn't been released yet.

The sound quality of this record from Speakers Corner is incredible. I don't see how SACD could better it.
I was talked into trying the record; too bad I don't like the music.
Yes, I agree 100%. I picked up a clean Mo-Fi copy on vinyl for $12.00 a couple years ago and it sounds amazing! I have it saved as a 'ripped' 24/96 WAV file in my digital music library. Still, I'd like to have a SACD or Blu-Ray Audio version for ease of use and comparison. What I like about SACD is you get a nice, near analog sound, but without any of vinyls faults (pops, clicks, etc.)

As I recall, the Speakers Corner disc has no pops, etc. But it is more work to play one than an SACD.
What is it about the album that doesn't click with you?
I have a very soft spot for this record having listened to it many times under the influence when it first came out. Perhaps I read a cosmic statement into it that is not there and it's really talking about a more mundane human condition. No worries - it still takes me places.
Regards,
Geoff
Sometimes, I like music right away and other times, it takes me years or even decades (I am just now getting to listen to the Rush albums from the 70s). I will give this another try some time. I'm not saying it's bad, so I can't say what I did not like, and it's been a while since I listened to it, so I don't recall. It was not that I could say that it's not original, because it is.
