Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road       (10 of 12 found this review helpful)
  April 3, 2014

With a great new 2014 Stereo remaster by Bob Ludwig and a revised 5.1 Surround mix, where the rear channels are slightly lowered in level (criticism 10 years ago the rears on the SACD/DVD-A were overloud) and a less bright and forward sounding remix than before, it seems many of the problems people ... more
