Don't miss:
Eric Dolphy
"Out There"

A hybrid SACD orginally recorded in 1960(!)that has sonics that are truly superb. Great drive! Pulsating, throbing acoustic bass. Powerful, tonally accurate horns. Clean clear, shimmering percussion and drums! Modern, yet accessible, jazz from a player on par with Coltrane, Coleman, and Parker.
A must have! Trust me!
Lately, I've been listening to...

Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
The Kinks - Misfits
Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy

and the RCA Living Stereo SACD's (All of them)

Captain Fantastic is magnificent. Misfits and Oh Mercy aren't reference quality, but very good. But I listen to them more often because the music is superior.

The RCA releases are among the best out there. Don't think that because they're old recordings that they might still sound old. They don't. Whoever made those original recordings were geniuses.

Cheers.
Rebecca Pidgeon. "THE RAVEN". The nuances, detail is unbelievable. Great vocals and songs. Shows what your system is really capable of with a great recording (CHESKY)
Miles Davis- Kind of Blue
Alison Kraus and Union Station
Nickle Creek- Nickle Creek
Nickle Creek- This Side
Oh Brother Where Art Thou Sound Track

These are by far my favorite SA-CD's.
