I finished up with the comparison between the SACD and BD. Even though it states that the 2003 mix was used, I definitely hear a difference on most songs with the BD format. I'm hearing a clearer soundstage, better detail and separation. I do notice the SACD seems to have more bass but in a different way. Not really more. Perhaps bloated? Anyway, what may be going on is either the newer codec of the DTS-Master Audio or perhaps the newer transfer of the BD. As I was sitting there listening, I thought that maybe a different master may have been used between the two formats or how the transfer may have been handled. After all, they were transferred at different times.
I still need to listen to Jamaica Jerk-Off again to see if I hear the difference with that song between the two formats. This was fun! After the first 3 songs, I ended up listening to one track at a time, the same track from each format. Made it easier to hear the difference. Overall, I'm glad I purchased the BD version because I really like what I'm hearing. Can't wait to see if they release other EJ titles on BD.
btw, I'm glad to hear the fade-in missing on Social Disease. I never liked it. I don't remember if the original LP contained it but I do have the Speakers Corner LP and can say that the fade-in is much more subtle than on the SACD surround mix. I never did listen to the stereo mix ever.
