Arrived this morning, Analogue Productions 2.0 SACD of Humble Pie's "Smokin' ", gave it a listen, excellent, but it was an A&M recording to start with, and I've always found them to be great. Yes it was a crazy price £50 (new) but I love this album :banana:

I saw Miles live 6 times and have over 500 discs of his. Jack Johnson is my favorite, as well. I bought a single layer Japan SACD about 15 years ago.

Good job, Miles Davis, the artist that keeps on giving. I have all of his and I think my favorite is Jack Johnson, MOFI stereo hybrid SACD.

After waiting 10 years to get a copy, my most sought-after Japanese single-layer 2ch SACD arrived today: Romantic Warrior - Return to Forever. I mentioned in another thread that both Music Direct and Tower claimed to have it stock in '05. Although I ordered it from both, it never showed.

I've owned this on LP and the original US CD. Reminder to self: a/b the CD to SACD. This SACD is dated October 1, 1999.

Sonically, it sounds great. Better than I ever remember it sounding. Musically, it's also better than I remember. One of my best friends used to play this and Al DiMeola's Casino incessantly. BTW: he had h/k Citation 16 & 17, h/k Rabco turntable w/MC Ortofon through JBL L100's at that point. 320+ watts of goodness.

For a while, we used both as demo albums. Frankly, I was sick of them, even though this was my favorite musical genre in the 70's.

I'm just beginning my second spin. The first was through my preferred SACD player on my main system. It sounded a bit zimgier in the high end, because it's a Sony. I'm now playing it on the DVD-A/SACD player, also in my main system.

Fidelity-wise, it's as good as electronic keyboards sounded in those days. To compare it to the imaging of all-acoustic music or a recording 40 years later would be unfair. The album is self produced. Didn't notice an engineer credit. It was recorded at Caribou. In both the gatefold and on the back cover it lists Stanly Clark (sic) as an Associate Producer. IMHO, Weather Report albums at the time was better engineered and/or recorded. Yet, when the acoustic instruments are played, it sounds pretty good in both image and depth of field. Versus an ECM release, though, the fidelity would come a bit short. Most things would.

Musically, this record's a classic. If you like jazz fusion, you NEED this album. Medieval Overture was used in a commercial or two back in the day. Th entire album is pretty accessible, yet still has an edge. THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE ALBUM FROM THIS LINEUP. If you only buy one album by this aggregation, or a solo record from Chick Corea, Al DiMeloa, Stanley Clarke or Lenny White, this should be it. IMHO, Light as a Feather was a better RTF record, but it's a completely different sound w/Airto, Flora Purim and Joe Farrell.

Congrats on scoring this. Just wondering after a few years if this is now your go to digital version. How do you rate the remix on the RTF Anthology?

Yes, it is my go to version. I didn't buy the Anthology, although I have all their other albums.

I spotted a used Bloodlines - Blood, Sweat & Tears 4 SACD box in stock at Amazon for $62. It appears that there are still 2 used copies left at $62.

I couldn't justify spending $150 just to get an SACD of 4, but I would have gladly paid $50 - $60 for an SACD of 4 by itself. Being a Prime member, it shipped for free.

Box came resealed, SACD's appear to be resealed, too. Box and booklet are pristine.

Listening right now to B,S &T 4 and it sounds great.

I had a Japan CD of 4 and it sounded fair at best. The US CD sounds better. I got rid of the Japan CD, but kept the book, which is better than tthe US. I'll try to A-B US CD with the SACD in the next few days.
