The reissued compact disc copies of the album featured Super-Audio and Hybrid format, also known as Super High Material, which enhanced audio quality through the use of polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC and Universal Music Japan and discovered through the joint companies' research of LCD display manufacturing, these CDs featured improved transparency on the data side of the disc, allowing for more accurate reading of the data by the CD player laser head. The reissues were fully compatible with standard CD players, and are listed below: Notes References External links Songs of Sam Cooke: Main Page Songs of Sam Cooke: Ain't That Good News 1964 albums Sam Cooke albums RCA Victor albums Albums produced by Hugo & Luigi Albums arranged by René Hall Albums conducted by René Hall
