miguelito Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 As good as the original was - one of the benchmark acoustic guitar albums of all time - this one is even better sound-quality-wise... For those of you in the know, I don't need to explain... For those of you who don't... You-been-learned...

miguelito Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hello miguelito, I have the "original" Windham Hill WD 1032 edition, and while I have not heard the SACD edition, my redbook edition has always been exquisite in every category of the enjoyment of music. I have a fair amount of Windham Hill discography editions which endure over the years as highly involving, well-produced music. And, you are validated (read "appreciated") when you acknowledge "knowing" requires no explaining. I concur in so far as those who have not yet added this gorgeous acoustic guitar album to their collection, may want to open the boundaries and add this Hedge work of art. Enjoying the music, Richard [ATTACH=CONFIG]22272[/ATTACH] Yes, I have the original as well, which I bought around 1996 or so (and also have a bunch of Wyndham Hill albums). This reissue is a step up in sound quality - although the original CD is fantastic.

miguelito Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Have the LP and CD - never compared, might do so now. Great sound from both, happy to hear this may be even better. Don't know that I'll get it though. Fair enough. I would argue having the CD is good enough except for the fanatics of this album - I suppose I have already come across as a fanatic...
