Comment by Downunderman - August 28, 2016 (1 of 1)

These Hong Kong issues are a bit of a mystery - No information on the provenance of the source used and in the case of this disc it appears to be a straight lift from the 2003 CD remaster. The bonus tracks and the inserts being exactly the same. My copy is number 140 of exactly how many I don't know. It is housed in a SACD jewel case.

Still it sounds pretty good. The Sound stage is commendably wide, with the various musical elements well separated. Though the sound stage not very deep. This may be a function of it essentially being folk music with mostly limited instrumentation. The sound itself is not noticeably digital in character. Don's voice echoes nicely here and there, but it is a pretty dry clean sound.

I have not compared it to the 2003 CD remaster. Something that would be worth doing.

That said I am happy with it and if you are thinking about it yourself I don't think you will be disappointed.
