Genesis - Selling England by the Pound SACD

I'm waiting for the boxed set also.

I have an original CD mastering of SEBTP. It leaves much to be desired. Original Famous Charisma Label vinyl is better.

I have the most recent but aging remaster of "Foxtrot" on CD. This mastering is not bad at all, and superior to the original CD mastering, but I still think it might be done better.

SEBTP is of course one of the most highly regarded symphonic rock albums of all time, so any new version that offers better sound will be welcomed by many!

I'll have to give it another listen, but I don't recall the sound on my copy of SEBTP on Famous Charisma as being inferior to the others (even though my copy has a lot of wear).

It is definitely produced and mixed differently...it has a softer and more pastoral theme and sound overall. Perhaps noise during vinyl playback is more of an issue as a result.

It could just be a result of inconsistent production quality on the various vinyl releases. Sound quality on rock albums in general was heading south for various reasons towards the middle 70's IMHO.

Sandynsimon,

I'd be curious how the sound of the 2 channel CD mix compares?
