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 ?

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.
