Mark Knopfler Shangri La on sa-cd


I just ordered my copy from Amazon UK.

This is a Mercury release and is available on sa-cd/cd/vinyl and dvd video,

I have only heard one song but you can't go wrong w/Knopfler. Have you heard John Fogerty's new release? Knopfler does a guest appearance but the mix has Fogerty drowning him out. By the way Fogerty was not up to par on this release. Pass if the opportunity comes by.
Theo, I heard the redbook cd of this and I like it a lot.

I find that Knopflers solo work grows on you the more you listen to any of the recordings.

When I first heard Ragpickers Dream and Sailing to Philidelphia, I though they were decent, but after another listen or two, these releases are very good imo.

I only listen in two channel, but wanted to hear the sa-cd version of this hybrid multi channel disc.
I beleive that this is the first sa-cd version of Knopfler or Dire Straits, but whith Dire Straits released on the Mercury label in Europe, maybe we will see some of that music also released on sa-cd.

AcousticSounds.com has Shangri-La on a hybrid SACD (the only SACD
discs I'll buy) for $29.99. But knowing I just paid $13.97 for Ray Charles'
new cd on hybrid SACD at www.deepdiscountcd.com, I think I'll wait on
Shangri-La. $29.99 seems outrageous to me.
