Title: No SACD !!! Don't bother buying with this one...
Review: This US release was supposed to be like the UK release and include a hybrid SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) as well as the DVD. It does not. The SACD has been replaced by a regular CD. Extremely disappointing ! I'll be purchasing the UK release instead...According to Mute's Head of Catalogue, David Rowntree, Mute commissioned Simon Heyworth's Super Audio Mastering facility to perform the critical re-mastering work for this album. Quote: "The SA-CD versions take the sound to another level - the next best thing to being there!". "If you don't have an SA-CD player, DTS 96/24 is the next best thing."He doesn't even mention the 44.1 kHz PCM audio of the CD version, which evidently, most of you are listening to.(A digital audio technology which is now 24 years old, by the way. Hey, maybe they will issue the US release on 8-track cartridge too).
Is the review positive or negative?
