I really like the album, so when the SACD came up I violated my own rule and bought without reading reviews first.
Mistake.
The music is great, of course. It is and should be one of the best-selling albums of all times.
But the SACD is a high-resolution testament to the tape saturation present throughout the original recording.
Yeah, I still play it sometimes, for the same reason I play 8-tracks: For the music, while hating the fidelity.
What a disappointment.
