Wow .....Pat Barber Cafe BLue HDCD version

no, it comes as the regular 'Premonition' cd, the FIM HDCD, the FIM hybrid SACD and the Premonition LP.

i agree that the HDCD Gold pressing is better than the standard cd.

i have not seen it as an XRCD or other variations of XRCD.

the SACD is better than the HDCD, the Lp is a little better than the SACD.

i enjoy each version.....great performances, good (not great) recording.

Look for a new live CD of P. Barber to be released in two weeks according to her website.

I have the gold and the MFSL SACD. As much as I like the gold CD, the SACD is a significant step foreward on my modified Sony. It's not able to decode HDCD, so perhaps on something like the Lindeman, the HDCD may be closer to the Super Audio CD.
