| Elton Hasn't Sounded Better Kudos to the production crew of not only this album; but, all of the SCAD audios available by this beloved artist. We need all of Elton's albums transferred to this digital surround sound format.The mixing, transfers and DSD editing are impeccable. If you want sound, and lyrics of an extraordinary artist, with technology to extoll his creativeness, this is it! By Darb Snibor (Fort Langley) |
| BELIEVE all the reviews you read about this SACD !!! A lot of SACDs don't really make it to the proclaimed hype about the format but the rare exceptions that do are exemplary. The LP version I have of this release is a pristine copy on the now defunct UK DJM label, along with my other EJ favourite "Tumbleweed Connection" on a Japanese Toshiba/EMI vinyl release have been blown to bits by these SACD releases. The "freshness" of these early releases from EJ's repertoire really "startled" me to say the least. Whoever did the remastering of these timeless classics from those old master tapes has done an absolutely splendid job. All the other comments about this SACD are correct. So BELIEVE.

| one of the best sacd's so far of all the reissued albums on sacd or dvda this is the best i have heard. the remastering is excellent and they have managed to reignite the excietment the recording create all those years ago when it was first released. a must have!!!! By daveb4 (long island, ny)  |
| Wonderful remastered Elton What a great job on this 5.1 surround mix! Every song just blossoms in multichannel! And you get two great bonus tracks, Lucy in the Sky and Philadelphia Freedom are both included. I would rate this a close second to "Tumbleweed Connection" as far as favorite EJ albums. By Bruce (Lenexa, Kansas) |
