Elton John SACD releases

Some of Elton John's catalog have been re-released as hybrid multi-channel SACDs. They are:

Elton John (1st Album)
Madman Across the Water
Tumbleweed Connection
Honky Chateau
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

I was wondering how they sounded. Has anyone out there picked them up? If so, what are your impressions?

Cheers

Tom

I have GBYBR and it sounds amazing, haven't heard the newer ones yet though.

Many listeners have criticized these as being too bright. I have all but "Peachtree Road", but haven't played them as yet. I also received the Clapton SACDs (all from CD Universe) at the same time, and I've listened to "461" and that impressed me.

I guess it's time to try one of the EJs. I'll do that soon and get back to you.
