The Cream on a superb audio CD, which certainly sounds good for recordings from that era. Clear sound and fantastic guitar work from Clapton, drumming from Baker, and vocals with bass guitar from Bruce. I already had the remastered releases, but I think the SACD adds a little more, even if it's minimal, but the mono tracks are not good sounding.

Saw a lot of good review and I bought it. Fantastic audio quality, great thumping music. Highly recommended

Karajan’s 1979 Mahler Symphony No. 4 with the Berlin Philharmonic is elegant and finely balanced, avoiding heavy drama in favor of clarity and warmth. The vocals of the finale is sung with purity and charm. The Japanese SHM-SACD offers superb sound — clean, detailed, and with a natural sense of space that brings out the beauty of Mahler’s lighter orchestration. A refined, polished performance in an excellent audiophile transfer.

Bernstein’s 1979 Mahler Symphony No. 9 with the Berliner Philharmonic is deeply emotional. The slow movements are spacious and full of feeling, while the middle movements have energy and bite. Bernstein shapes every phrase with care, bringing out Mahler’s farewell mood without losing flow. The Japanese SHM-SACD transfer is outstanding — warm, rich, and highly detailed, letting the beauty of the performance shine. A moving, powerful interpretation in superb sound.

Did a comparison between this SACD album vs normal CD. Very good audio quality on the SACD. Highly recommended for those who prefer collections

One of the best of musicians I could have heard in my life, fantastic Steve Hackett`s guitar! His compositions are amazing. They can help you to relax.

Surrender of Silence is one of the best records of Steve Hackett.It shoul have place in your collection. This music is amazing.

The original box set has been out of print and years ago I bought the digital version. Once in a while I would check availability on eBay but never decided to purchase an available copy. Very happy to now have a physical copy especially in SHM-SACD. The sound is fantastic. Got it a great price through CD Japan. Highly recommended.

The booklet has a really beautiful design, and the CD sound, sooo god :) they really did a great job here

After Clapton's Cream period, he continued with drummer Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood in Blind Faith. Clapton's guitar playing is divine, and listen especially to Baker's drum solo on the final track – superb.

The Cream consisted of Clapton, Baker, and Bruce. Live, the band was unparalleled. Listen to Clapton's solos and how they complemented each other flawlessly.

This album is like listening to an old T-SQUARE album but made in 2025. And the new members are worth to be the new generation of T-SQUARE!

Thirty songs spanning the career of a famous singer. Engineering is excellent. There are many more great songs and lyrics on the individual albums. Recommended.

Absolutely a wonderful album, great audio quality, it sounded so solid. Highly recommended for collectors

My first experience with Eine Alpensinfonie. Very engaging and loud. The way I enjoy classical music most. Excellent sound engineering using the original masters from 1980. Recommended

The acoustic sounds sacd has been top notch and continues to get better, if vinyl is not your ting than buy these

The Acoustic sounds sacd series uses the same masters created for the vinyl reissue series which are stellar!!!!

A fine performance of an energetic symphony. Sounds exceptional to my ears with a very wide dynamic range. Super silent passages bring lively crescendos. Kudos to sound engineers. Recommended

I'm loving these Billy Joel 7-inch SACD releases from Japan, I own them all and Streetlife Serenade is the latest one to be released. For me, the main appeal of these releases has been the 5.1 surround sound mixes. Now, we don't get 5.1 here, but we do get a 4 ch. quadrophonic mix of the album, which I'm happy with. Plus, we're getting some live performances from this era on CD for the first time, so that's just one more reason to pick this up. And the packaging... I really wish all CDs released in Japan came in this 7-inch packaging, I love it! The quality is so good, plus this edition is loaded with lots of extras that longtime Billy Joel fans like myself will really appreciate. When was the last time you bought a CD and spent a lot of time looking over the inserts, well, you will with this release. It's great to see an underrated album like this given such a stunning and high-quality release. I hope Sony continues to release more Billy Joel albums like this... just don't forget the 5.1 mixes next time!

Beutiful packaging with bunch of extras, Santana's top album, 7'' edition with glorious cover to enjoy in fullness
