Neil Young Unplugged Import

"Unplugged" is one of my most favorite Neil Young CD's. I see that a Japanese 2008 reissue is available that employs SHM (Super High Material) technology. If anyone has heard this version, I would be interested in your opinion of the sound vs. the original. Also, how would you rate this encoding compared to HDCD?

The standard issue CD has wonderful sound to start with.

I have Nirvana and Bryan Adams unplugged CDs with similar exceptional sound.

These are a treat in particular on my OHM Walsh speakers!

Generally speaking, if a CD sounds great the SHM-CD is a slight enhancement.

I owned the original NY-Unplugged and now the Japanese SHM-CD version.

I agree with Mapman, both versions sound great.
