Re: Alison Krauss Live SACD

I have this SACD and frankly I wouldn't pay $9 for it again, much less $90. I've heard all the raves and don't understand it any more than I can fathom the inexplicable love for all incarnations of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" or that "Tubular Bells" crap.

The music on this Alison Krauss SACD is average and the performance fairly weak for her. The recording itself, while good, doesn't stand out as anything all that special. And I like Alison Krauss. That someone would pay $90 for this SACD after they languished on shelfs at Best Buy, Tower, and Frys at $20 or less just a few months ago is bizarre. Then again, I still have a set of Starker Bach Cello Suites on lp, which I failed to sell at a garage sale in the late 80s for $3, that now routinely brings bids up to $200 on ebay when it comes up for sale.

This hobby is insane. And if you need more proof, check out Teresa's latest posts...
