This SACD is absolutely stunning, it replicates the SQ vinyl edition very well. The sound quality is superb. Definitely recommended.

better than the sacd. amazing sound. although mercury has left the building, you can now have him in your room, until you have to leave the building and try to find Freddie in heaven. phil

even better than the sacd. amazing!!! mark is in the room. don't think it could get any better. vocals could be louder. phil

better than the rest. less wall of sound and reverb (aka phil spector.) if you love the album this is the best. to my taste. more treble, more separated, more defined. instruments much better, vocal a little better. you need the mqa decoder to get the extra punch and definition. phil

I bought this CD - MQA in addition to the main order, but to my astonishment - quality of record on very, very much, very much!!! high level! To shop many thanks!

If you like this album this is the cd to get! Superb 2001 pcm Remastering and Blu-spec cd2,I cannot imagine it sounding any better for a 1968 recording. The sound is like High-End vinyl! a great case for cd even over SACD. Buy now before an inferior DSD version comes out!

Great sound from this Great band Geordie, this album is Outstanding, A Masterwork! Must have if You are a Real Geordie fan and like Real good music from the ; 70. Thank you Geordie this band have giving me Many great times of Really good music, You are the Best band Ever!

Unfortunately I had ordered the European version containing the SACDs and 12 inch vinyl before this was notified for release. This is a far superior and lower cost package especially if you don’t want the vinyl. I gave up on vinyl and it’s frustrating inherent pops and crackles years ago and now concentrate on high end Japanese CD releases. This package is as usual superb with the stereo and mono releases and the packaging is first class right down to the two mono and stereo replica covers. Unfortunately by comparison the Beggars Banquet release did not include the mono mix. Not sure if the SACD remastering exceeds the 2002 release but this is worth the investment for the 7 inch size packaging. Get it while it is still available.

Excellent quality ! Sounds incredible on regular redbook Player/ Transport.I am really surprise how good they remastered this CD.

A very nice album of fusion masters. Nothing supernatural. But, on a rainy gray morning, with a cup of good coffee instantly uplifting. No kidding. Great work of two remarkable musicians.

I listened to this edition many times. The decoder in my OPPO UDP 205 shows sigificant improvements MQA is capable of.You hear details you never heared before, but it's not hard sounding, the background is really black, single instruments are clear without hiss. This edition creates the hope for more YES-gems in this quality: the combination of MQA-CD and UHQCD. I dream of Tales from Topographic Oceans, Relayer, Going for The One....

this is a very good cult classic that sounds very spacey & trippy from this japanese outfit that released this originally in 1978, great remastered sound by the BELLE label and i would assume the lp replication is great BUT i never saw this lp for sale, it is very rare i understand and was only released in japan by this japanese outfit DADA....

this was the second and last lp widowmaker released in 1976, this album was very good but did not pack the power of the first lp i reviewed here yesterday, still this sounds great and it is still a good hard rock disc from the mid 1970s with that great 70s sound!! the mini lp replication as per the original uk lp is near perfect and the remastering sounds great!! they sounded a bit like early bad company

i have had this dirt box album on german cd for over or near 20 years now, this was a great album back in 1972, great hard rock guitar solos, if you are/where a fan of SCORPIONS, DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, URIAH HEEP OR EVEN WISHBONE ASH then you will love this cd, this was printed on the great BELLE LABEL and the mini cardboard sleeve lp replication as per the original german lp is fantastic!!! this disc sounds very crisp and loud and the guitar playing is so awesome!!!!!!!

this was the first album released in late 1976/early 1977 by widowmaker who formed from the ashes of mott the hoople back in late 1975/early 76, this was an over all good hard rock album for its time, i always liked this disc over the second one, it can be a bit bluesy at times but very well done, as modern people say THEY NAILED IT HERE, anyway this is a great release on the BELLE label and the mini carboard lp replication as per the sleeve is almost perfect as per the original uk release, the disc sounds FANTASTIC and very crisp..... fantastic shm remastering..

this is a great reissue on the BELLE label of this long ago fantastic krautrock record from way back in 1973, anyway this band sure mixes up prog rock & krautrock very well, love the guitar playing mixed in with the flute, fantastic sounding shm remastered cd & great packaging and nice mini lp replication as per the original 1973 lp. i love it....

This is my first acquaintance with this team. Bought at random. The sound of the disc is luxurious!!!

Incredible edition! For a very long time I refrained from acquiring any remasterings of this group. On the other hand, it is impossible not to recognize the influence that their music had on the entire music field. And now, finally, I hold in my hands a thing (and not just a thing) that does not cause me frustration at owning it, as was the case with other publications.

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL REMASTER 24BIT, AND RECENTLY PURCHASED THE STILL AVAILABLE 24BIT REMASTER WITH RUBIDIUM CLOCK CUTTING AND WAS SURPRISED AT THE ADVANCE IN SOUND AS I MISSED THE ORIGINAL SHM VERSION.HOWEVER I THOUGHT MY LUCK WAS NOW IN WITH THIS NEW VERSION WHICH IS SHM AND HR CLOCK CUTTING,BUT IT IS TAKEN FROM THE DSD MASTER AND THE SOUND IS OK ITS NOT A DISASTER BUT WOULD SUIT SACD BETTER,AS THE DSD HAS TO BE CONVERTED BACK TO PCM FOR CD.THIS NEW VERSION COMPARED TO THE RUBIDIUM/24 BIT REMASTER SOUNDS SOFTER AND LACKS LOW FREQUENCY SOUNDS OF TRAFFIC IN BACKGROUND SOUNDING FILTERED OUT!IT JUST LACKS THE CLARITY OF THE PREVIOUS VERSION,THE BELLS AND TRIANGLE RING CLEAR ON THE PREVIOUS VERSION,MY ADVISE BY THE PREVIOUS VERSION WHICH IS CHEAPER AND BETTER! FORGET THE MQA VERSION WHICH IN CD ONLY PLAYBACK SOUNDS EVEN WORSE!
