Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs


I am a big fan of CCR and have all the remastered CDs, recently purchased "The Concert" on SACD before buying the rest of the SACD catalog. I was very dissapointed in the sound quality and preferred the Redbook layer to SACD. This was never an audiophile recording in the first place but I am curious on the sound quality of the other CCR SACDs. Anyone have any experience with the other 7 SACDs ?

If you haven't gotten any of the studio recordings yet, I can recommend Cosmo's Factory and Green River. Like Rsbeck, I was pleasantly surprised by them, especially Cosmo's Factory. The source material is a limitation here, of course, but not as much as I thought it would be. You think CCR and you think AM radio blaring through blown speakers in the dashboard, but there is really a lot there to hear. Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray at Analogue Productions did an impressive job of restoring these recordings to a sound that is both raw and surprisingly layered.
