The sacd's are hybrids so they play on a regular cd player. They are really good and were re-mastered by Steve Hoffmann, one of the most highly regarded re-master engineers. While i haven't heard the latest re-masters, sometimes people think a louder recording is better as some re-masters sound good initially but become fatiguing as they are compressed and lack dynamics. Turn the sacd's up to compare.
CCR Remastered
I have Creedence Clearwater Rivival - Chronicle Volume 1. (This is a Greatest Hits CD.)
When at a store the other day I noticed this CD on display with a sticker that said "Remastered". I know there was a big remaster of CCR a couple years ago, but that was individual albums, not the greatest hits, so this sticker caught my eye. Looking at the back of the CD, it stated it was remastered in 1994.
While this isn't as recent as I'd like, this is more recent than the one I have. Has anyone compared these two versions?
