Yeah, a very nice set of discs, but I could do without the first couple of goofy quasi-vocal tracks on disc one (will skip past them in the future). Otherwise, a pleasant, well recorded, and entertaining experience. This guy has still got it right!
Glad to hear that but still would prefere to wait for more releases, cheaper and so to the players before I even go to SACD stuff.
