Wow!
But, this sacd version is just mindblowing!It has a vastly improved sound over the cd version. I already have the deluxe remaster edition on cd(2008), and the sound is very good. Execellent clarity,soundstage,bottom end,crisp and the dynamics, well,it will blow you away. The music is one of Eltons best in my opinion. If somebody is wondering what the fuss about sacd is compared to cd,this will show them. Once you slip the sacd in the tray and push play,you will hear that the sound is improced in every sound department. In general all Eltons sacds are very very good sounding,and the enginers have done a fantastic job. Review is about the stereo layer only. A MUST have.


Early Elton Great Stuff
I remember some of these songs and a few will be familiar to most people. Elton sings country flavored music that is simply wonderful. I really enjoyed this style for him and think some could be hits if re-released. The SACD version is room filling and not to be missed. One of my favorites!.


Super!
J. If you ever liked E. ,these Hybrid SACD's are by far the best Elton ever sounded--unless you are a vinyl fan-then good luck finding a first generation UNI release. A super job, by all involved!.


SACD recording is wonderful
I'm commenting on the audio quality recording aspect of this particular SACD version. This album is a classic, so there is no need for me to say any more than what has been said regarding the songs.

The audio is great ! Really, it takes full advantage of the superior sound potential of the SACD format. Very nice 5 channel mixes. The difference in the dynamic range and clarity of SACD over traditional CD recordings is stunning.

To pontificate just a bit, it seems strange to me that at the same time people are fawning over HDTV's superiority over traditional TV, (and rightly so), they are clamoring for the convenience of MP3 players. The MP3 compressed format is inferior to the audio quality of CDs and far inferior to the sound of SACD and DVD-Audio discs. We've gotten TV better, but made music audio quality worse. Believe me, I understand and appreciate the convenience of MP3 players. But for a home stereo system, playing music through a compressed MP3 file is equivalent to watching movies on an old 19" TV rather than a 40" HDTV. It's a shame our collective audio standards have regressed. But not mine! . . . :)

Anyway, I highly recommend this SACD album. It's a hybrid, so it will play on traditional CD players as well, if you don't have an SACD player and a surround system.

sacd 5.1
1 can do to enhance a listening experience. Just a great example of what 5. A little contrived in mixing but a
superb example of how to get the full range of sacd/5. 1 that puts you in the middle of a session.
