CCR Remastered

I have Creedence Clearwater Rivival - Chronicle Volume 1. (This is a Greatest Hits CD.)

When at a store the other day I noticed this CD on display with a sticker that said "Remastered". I know there was a big remaster of CCR a couple years ago, but that was individual albums, not the greatest hits, so this sticker caught my eye. Looking at the back of the CD, it stated it was remastered in 1994.

While this isn't as recent as I'd like, this is more recent than the one I have. Has anyone compared these two versions?

Thanks guys. Pdn, I realize the differences of CD and SACD, I don't have a setup for SACD though.

This CD I saw in store stated that it was remastered in 1994, my copy at home does not say this, so I was questioning if it was of greater sound quality, clearly I agree that more current remasters would be better.

With the above information, I will look for something more current, whether it is the Chronicle I CD or some other Greatest Hits CD, I really wasn't looking to purchase all the individual CD's.

Thanks, Brian

The remastered were about $10 each at BB.
$60 bucks total for the best sounding versions so far...

The sacd's are hybrids so they play on a regular cd player. They are really good and were re-mastered by Steve Hoffmann, one of the most highly regarded re-master engineers. While i haven't heard the latest re-masters, sometimes people think a louder recording is better as some re-masters sound good initially but become fatiguing as they are compressed and lack dynamics. Turn the sacd's up to compare.
