I have and it sounds great. It's very dynamic with realistic cymbal crashes and everything you'd expect. I highly doubt there's a better version available anywhere, although I didn't do many comparisons.Quote

Has anyone heard the Black and Blue sacd?
Melody sounds absolutely perfect. It's sonically the best song on the album (and arguably their entire catalog), along with Hot Stuff.Quote

I'm especially interested in Melody, which I think was treated rather badly in the UM-remasters.

Why the sad face for Some Girls?
Undercover on SACD should be great.
November-Live in Texas
December-Some Girls DX
January-Some Girls SACD
I wonder how much I've spent for Some Girls so far.
Enjoy! I think you'll like this disc a lot. I know I'm glad I bought it.Quote

Thanks a lot, FreeBird! I will look forward to a perfect version of Melody (your discription of the song is really spot on). That song very soon became a favourite of mine, when B&B was released and has been ever since.

Thanks! I've just received it today. It really sounds fabulous. And the rest of B&B too.

What I'm wondering is am I just appreciating the great remastering job on regular CD, or am I in fact listening to SACD. How does one know?
Bill Wyman's bass sound makes the difference (among other things).

I have a question that I hope is not too far off topic. Just purchased a Sony Blu Ray player that can play SACD's...specifically, the 2002 ABKCO SACD series.
Sounds FAB.
What I'd like to know, is HOW do I know it is actually accessing the SACD layer, and not the redbook layer (I think that's what it's called, the normal CD layer).

I have downloaded a manual from Sony site supposing that you bought BDP-S480.
1.Music Settings
Check if you set {Super Audio CD}. It is default setting.
It plays normal CD layer if you set {CD}.
2.Audio Settings - DSD Output Mode
Check if you set {Off}. Super Audio signals are output from Analog jacks(red and white RCA jack).
When {On} is selected, signals are output from HDMI Out jack.
3.Display information
No symbol is indicated on the display when it plays Super Audio CD.
Normally only analog signal is output from SACD player for copy protection.
However, this player can output digital signal through HDMI out. It's a rare type of product.
Hope this helps.
Does it display the titles of the songs? It should if it's reading the SACD layer. The CD layer, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't contain CD Text.Quote
