Is this the best album of 1968? I mean, damn.....it could get my vote. Wow!

Actually, just bought another copy of the MOFI stereo version SACD. Spectacular. $31 from importCD

This is the SACD version I currently own, Gene and would love to know if the MoFi is actually significantly better. Also had recently purchased Truth and Beck OLA as a two~fer Japanese import so do I really need the MoFi Truth SACD?

I'll let you know, bro. I honestly doubt they could be too much different. But I'll give it a go.

I had a US 2 LP of Truth/Beck-Ola. Is your Japanese 2 Fer a CD?

I'm consistently AMAZED at the Quality and stunning Sonics which Hong Kong's EVOSOUND label releases and this stunner is NO exception. Chlara's voice is as clear as an angel and the selections on this disc equally gorgeous. All Evosound's SACDs, BTW, come in Super Audio CD cases with slipcovers and this album is also available as an MQA encoded disc:
