I have all my original Moody Blues vinyl (in very good shape, too) and I have the MoFi Gold CD of "Days of Future Past".
The CD and all the vinyl are disappointing to me. Meaning not sonically spectacular as I remember them back in the day. Perhaps it was my occaisionally altered state? My system is much better now of course, but some of the old albums (like any of Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, or Simon and Garfunkle) are still amazing sonically, and some (like any of the Doors, and some of Neil Young) just sound flat to me.
I've never been able to figure that one out, but I can imagine that giving the dissapointing ones the SACD treatment (or even the XRCD treatment) might breath new life into them.
I'm going to A-B the vinyl/CD Days of Future Past again this afternoon, and see if I still underwhelmed.
