The Animals in High Def...Anyone have any feedback

I have the SACD version, which is very good.

Thanks Rich.

The Redbook version sounds very thin (i.e.: very "tinny" with overloads of treble and weak bass). I wasn't sure if this is due to the age of the recordings and the way they were recorded back in the late 60's, or if the Redbook CD version merely sucks!

Does the SACD, which is what HDTracks has no doubt used as the medium to convert their 24/176 file version, provide solid bass and a smoother overall sound (less "digital" sounding)?

I hate to spend $30 for an album that I already own, unless the sound quality is noticeably improved...

Thank you.

I agree with Rich, the SACD is very good. It comes across as fairly full to me and although I think it is not the best recorded band, I think it is as good as your going to hear the Animals.

I bought a reissue of Eric Burdon's greatest hits on vinyl and it is thin, bright, and tinny sounding. In comparison the SACD is much much better (albeit different tracks and recording).

If you do spring for it, I would be very interested in your take on the sound quality.

Cheers
