  Review by tfkaudio January 30, 2004

Listening to it right now. It's one hell of a disk. In typical Who style, they've given a push at the boundaries (of CD this time!). 91+ minutes of material! My guess is that SACDs will likely continue to hover around the 75 minute limit, simply so record companies can sell 2-SACD sets for twice the ... more
