Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs

I am a big fan of CCR and have all the remastered CDs, recently purchased "The Concert" on SACD before buying the rest of the SACD catalog. I was very dissapointed in the sound quality and preferred the Redbook layer to SACD. This was never an audiophile recording in the first place but I am curious on the sound quality of the other CCR SACDs. Anyone have any experience with the other 7 SACDs ?

OOPS!
I meant to say the DCC Gold CD's sound better than the SACD's.
The 20 bit sound is ok but not as good as the DCC Gold

Ozzy you do realize the same guy that mastered the DCC golds mastered the SACD's? I doubt Steve Hoffman would agree with you on that last statement about the golds being better than the SACD's :)

Enjoy them none the less.

Vedric,
Now that you mention it , it does seem strange.
I specificaly concentrated on the Bayou Country SACD/Gold CD and the Gold.
The Gold has more higher frequency detail.
I am using a Denon 5900 .

Ozzy,
I just bought "Pendulum" on SACD, and mine also has trouble playing sometimes. Can you describe the problem you were having? On my copy, the last two tracks appear to have some sort of defect, where the sound drops out and comes back intermittently.
As far as the quality goes, not bad, but I've heard so many really great SACD's of older albums that I think they could have been better.

Cheers.
