Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs

Good point Rsbeck, Bayou Country is a stereo only disk. In my opinion, the sonic quality isn't that great. I was expecting more.

No prob. When I say I haven't heard any of the others, I mean any of the other Creedence SACD's. This may have to do with expectations. Any limitations in the recording seem to me like they are imposed by the source material, what with fuzz tone guitar work and such -- it seems like an unlikely candidate for audiophile treatment -- that's why I am pleasantly surprised. There is lots of air around the instruments, but not so much that it loses sense of the four piece band, the players are imaged both outside and between my speakers, the tone is rich, and the air of the studio is reproduced in my listening room, with overtones hanging in the air as if from the instruments. I can hear the air inside the snare drum, the cymbals hang in the air very naturally, but no one is going to make Doug Clifford sound like Max Roach. John Foggerty sounds great. I'm not sure what could be done to make it any better without losing the sense that this is a stripped down type rock band. I'm happy to have it in my collection. But -- hey -- to each his own.

I own CCR's "The Concert" in the 20bit K2 supercoding version and I love it especially for a live recording from 1970! Mine has the Fantasy label on the back and the "20bit K2" on the front on the cardboard slip cover.

I got into a grove with these 20bit K2 super coding releses and I've been collecting mostly the jazz greats with Tamaki Beck as mastering engineer.

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.

I own all Titles of Creedence in SACD's , 20 K bit , and the Gold Cd's.
On Bayou Country the 20 Bit to me sounds better than the SACD.
Pendulum ,sounds the best on SACD by far , although my disc sometimes has problems playing,
