Elton John SACD releases


Some of Elton John's catalog have been re-released as hybrid multi-channel SACDs. They are:

Elton John (1st Album)
Madman Across the Water
Tumbleweed Connection
Honky Chateau
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

I was wondering how they sounded. Has anyone out there picked them up? If so, what are your impressions?

Cheers

I recently bought Madman Across the Water and think it sounds great. Better IMO than GBYBR.

I prefer both of these recording in stereo as opposed to multi-channel. Elton's vocals are still crystal clear and the depth across the front is retained where it thins out a little in multi-channel. As for Madman, the stereo is so enveloping it sounds like it's in surround! An excellent recording and I was very impressed.
