I've got 5 issues from this album (the 86' cd, 94' remastered, 2001 hdcd, 2010 shm-cd and 2011 sacd) Both SHM and SACD are great in different way. The SHM for the clarity of the mix and the percusive sound of the Squire Rickenbacker, the SACD for the MCH mix and globaly a more soft and restful ... more

At time every Decca SHM reissue I've got are great, this one is probably my favourite SHM SACD. It blows my 99' cd. Firstly, the duo is perfectly spatialized, Britten at the back wraps the sound scene, and the Rostropovich "Visconti da Madrona" is slightly forward with an awesome precise timbre. ... more

Performance: Not as consistently bonkers as Demons and Wizards but with some excellent tracks. Sonic: A great SACD, globaly warm sounding but never untidy compare to my old cd. A little nuance yet, the synthesizer sounds a little bit aggressive in the highs ends and like the Rainbow Long Live ... more

It's my favourite CCR album. I had to admit the Japanese remastered SHM-cd (UCCO-9197) is far better, the SACD sound flatter and darker. I don't know what's wrong with this DSD recording because it's often the opposite, usually there's more clarity and presence on SACD.

Am I the only one to find the lead guitars at the end of Hotel California down mixed? It's one of the greatest guitar solo in rock history and I can't really appreciate it in MCH. ... more

Exactly! About SRV, it would be a sin to make a compressed mix because he already had a "natural" compression in his chain sound: The stratocaster has a very focused sound in the High-Mid. He used very heavy gauge string to add bottom end and power. (he probably have the most powerfull stratocaster sound of the history) He often played with 2 ... more

I agree with that, I was simply trying to say that compression is a part of the chain sound, not an "HiFi enemy". Sometimes it's even essential to balance a mix. Another example with the "guitar' world", the tube amp is used by 99% of rock guitarist because he has a natural hi end compression. A guitar plugged in a transistor amp would have a ... more

Just a little story about compression. I'm guitarist and I've always noticed that people prefer when a guitar sounds naturally compressed. For example the Fender Jazzmaster, because of his pickups and electronic, has a very dynamic sound but a majority of people prefer the more compressed sound of Stratocaster. Does it mean Jazzmaster are more ... more
