Friday Night in San Francisco

I have an originally released vinyl purchased for $3 that sounds much better vs. SACD.

I bought it on the original vinyl in a used record store for ~$5. There are a bunch of used vinyl listed on ebay at auction. I have the CD too. The Vinyl is better, but it's nice to have both.

My Amazon order cam a few days ago, and I enjoyed my first listening session of "Friday Night in SF" last night. Wow..... what a wonderful recording ! This $6.99 CD is the Columbia/Legacy version, "20 bit digitally remastered, produced for reissue by Bob Belden." Great music through my system, and much to my surprise, it is an HDCD recording ! The imaging and soundstage is perfect, and I can "see" exactly where Al, John, and Paco are sitting onstage. The guitar playing is absolutely incredible, and it is truly an "I am there" recording.

I just got mine in the mail. My wife used to have the album. Her fathers big into DiMeola. Hopefully I can listen to it this weekend.

There is another option here,MFSL has a vinyl version. You might be able to find a used copy in dectnt shape.
