Roger Waters-Amused to Death


Had never heard of this album until I heard 'It's a Miracle' and just had to buy it.
Original authorised copies on Columbia are very rare (Limited Edition Set) and mastered direct to lacquer from all-analogue Master Tapes.
IT'S A MIRACLE 

128x128halcro
Stunning SACD, one of the most impressive on my shelves in all 3 dimensions.  I had a similar experience the dogs barking 10-12' to right of speakers, down the hall and behind the wall in the yard and the radio broadcast similarly impressive to the far left of room and then some!
I listened to the album 3-4 times before I realized the barking dogs in the first 5 minutes were actually in the recording and not directly to my right and outside the house. Stunningly wide sound stage at no noticeable loss of sound quality.
I've got a NM original from Analogue tapes. Been meaning to play it for ages. They go for big money on e-bay, but who knows. I remember it to be a great recording, but haven't played it in years.
I love it.  I have both the vinyl and the SACD.  The Q Sound surrounds you with music in a 2 channel system.  It is always one of my "go to" pieces of music.
