Friday Night in San Francisco


I want to buy this DiMeola, McLaughlin, DeLucia classic album. My options ... "45 rpm audiophile 180 gm." vinyl @ $54.99 vs. CD @ $6.99. Is the vinyl that much better to justify the tremendous price differential ?

I have an originally released vinyl purchased for $3 that sounds much better vs. SACD.
I am fortunate to have both an SACD-only copy (Columbia/Legacy CS 65168), and the original Columbia LP (C-37152).

They both sound excellent. I believe I got both of them used, which is what I advise you to do. I can't see spending $55 for the 45 version, as either one I've mentioned sound so good. Unless you have to have the very best, I would opt for looking in the used market.

Just try googling it, something should come up. Good luck.

Regards,
Dan
Well, I just added it to an Amazon order.... $6.99 for the CD. I bought it along with Nils Lofgren "Acoustic Live" and John Abercrombie "Within A Song." These should be three great albums to listen to on the upcoming cool Autumn evenings in upstate NY.
