The Animals in High Def...Anyone have any feedback

Thanks Rich.

The Redbook version sounds very thin (i.e.: very "tinny" with overloads of treble and weak bass). I wasn't sure if this is due to the age of the recordings and the way they were recorded back in the late 60's, or if the Redbook CD version merely sucks!

Does the SACD, which is what HDTracks has no doubt used as the medium to convert their 24/176 file version, provide solid bass and a smoother overall sound (less "digital" sounding)?

I hate to spend $30 for an album that I already own, unless the sound quality is noticeably improved...

Thank you.

Thanks Shadrone. I went ahead and downloaded it the other night. I agree that the sound is very good (for 40+ year old recordings). I believe many of the earlier songs were originally recorded in mono and they do have that characteristic "60's" sound (not as full and dynamic as modern recordings).

There are indeed some real treats at HDTracks...Just for kicks, have you downloaded the 24/96 release of Machine Head? This version really emphasizes Blackmore...
