SHARE YOUR SACDs THAT SOUND FANTASTIC!!

I am starting this thread at someone’s suggestion, and it was a VERY good suggestion!  Share the title, artist, and the SACD issuing company of really good sounding SACDs you've spent some time with.

I’ll get the ball rolling...

"WHITES OFF EARTH NOW!" by The Cowboy Junkies: MoFi.  Unfortunately, out of print, but I wouldn’t bat an eye at paying a hundred bucks for a copy due to the music and the sonics.  In my opinion, it sounds better than "Trinity Sessions".

"THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM" by Diana Krall: Verve.  Coming up with the second was harder than the first because there are many to choose from.  This SACD is warm, palpable, punchy, dimensional, with truth of timbre in spades.  Very intimate sound.  As a system becomes more transparent, so does this disc, seemingly without end.

I won’t share any more because I don’t want to be an SACD hog.  LET’S HEAR ’EM!!

Thank you!!  Do you know whether it is MoFi, Analog Productions, etc...  That can make such a big difference, as I learned (for example) the MoFi of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms MoFi vs. Japanese editions.  The same can be said for Fleetwood Mac Rumors.  I don't know if there's a really good-sounding one out there, but it's certainly not the Japanese issue.

I actually got a few SACDs years ago through the later record club offers. Some turned out great. Everything looks legit on the info provided. No mention of it being a club reissue.

Recently acquired War "Greatest Hits"

Rhino/SACD

I think on first listen, I preferred my pp/lp, which I always held in high regard.
