Has anyone heard Billy Holiday on SACD?

I was looking at the release list of SACD's from Sony and saw Billy Holiday "Lady in Satin". Has anyone heard it, is it an upgrade?

I'm not sure if re-mixing has anything to do with the poor sound quality. The album itself is not really representative of Ms. Holiday. Her voice sounds raspy and all smoked out.

I have the Columbia re-issue on LP and it's a great recording. Has that great 'golden age' tube sound. Amazing album. Her voice is older, a little cracked, but still beautiful in most places. I think that's what makes this album so great. You can hear all the years. Magnificent.
