People I speak to in Hi-Fi Shops say Miles Davis A kind of Blue is very much overated. SACD has failed for many reasons, mostly overpriced especially in the UK. lack of support from Hi-Fi magazines. In the UK it is virtually impossible to find a Hi-Fi Shop that will demonstrate SACD. They just do not want to know. Also I do not agree with Teresa Goodwins views .There are good & bad SACD's exactly the sames as with RB CD's. I find MCH SACD better than Stereo SACD so would not advise anybody to buy the Marantz SA-7S1 or the latest Black Pearl. The best buy is the Sony XA5400ES especially via HDMI into a low jitter receiver Sony was the first with the low jitter Burr Brown DAC and now followed by Pioneer & Onkyo.' Marantz No Longer Matters' IMO.

.. if there actually were more SACDs of other GENRES.. I think SACD would be a far more popular format... just my opinion...
Agreed we need more of the music that the other 95% of the world listens to: Rock, Pop, Rap, Hip-Hop, Alternative, Country and Western, Alt Country, Folk, World, etc.
Acoustic Classical and Jazz usually sound mighty fine on SACD, but if we ever want SACD to be a household name, we need to appear to the other 95% of music listeners.
Since SACD is about sound quality as well as multichannel there are superb sounding recordings in many of the other genres, especially Country and Western and Folk. Some Rock music can also sound amazing, but most was not really made for hi-fi.

Quite frankly in my opinion it is mostly Classical music, easy listening & some Jazz that benefits from SACD. With Pop. Rock Blues Hip Hop Country & Western etc., you could probably not tell the difference as to how it was recorded that is why SACd will probably never catch on for the masses.

bringing the thread back on track :-P
Strange, "Big Fun" was not given the DSD-remastering treatment and released as a hybrid in Japan..
According to the database at this site, the SACD was only released in the US.
"On The Corner" is a good album but out of the two I would prefer "Big Fun."
