I don't know any Japanese, but when I put http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UIGY-9030 in Google Translate (http://translate.google.com), I got the following translation:
[SA-20 title and first name of all the CD Specification CD ~ ~ SHM] used body material with excellent flow SHM / transparent, single-layer characteristics of the original live DSD (2ch) adopted the method, Super Ultimate Audio CD Series. Eliminate the SA-permeability layers by having only a single-layer and CD, ensure sufficient reflectivity to read music information exhaustively. To enable the recording of uncompressed data, SA-CD layer has focused only on 2ch. Allow a more accurate round trip distance of the laser reflection film, a polycarbonate material used in the body is a clear LCD panel. This is the same material as SHM-CD, SA-transparent compared with the normal CD, but also has excellent liquidity necessary to form a bit more accurate. Influenced countless musicians, sweet and powerful voice message with the timeless album. "What's Going On," "Mercy Mercy Me," "Inner City Blues" included others. Published in 1971. DSD Master Production 2008 U.S. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.
So, just for your information, the Japanese SHM-SACD is not a new remastering. It simply uses MoFi's DSD Master, same as for the much cheaper MoFi "original" (Marvin Gaye: What's Going On).
In any case, having the same master does not tell the whole story, and it's still very possible that the SHM-SACD sounds noticeably better. Even in plain, aluminum RBCDs, Japanese issues often sound better (to me) than do their American/European equivalents.
Enjoy! Amir
