| You buy this one for the music, nostalgia, or because it is one of your faves. Soundwise I guess you get pretty much what was on the master tape and its fairly obvious that sound quality in an audiophile sense wasn't given much thought or priority back when it was first recorded. Still, if like me you must have it in your collection and like the music by all means buy it. From a sonic point of view IMHO I can't forsee how it can ever be much better than this on this SACD.

| I still think this is one of the best rock n' roll debut albums of all-time,but the sound on this SACD is disappointing.Those looking for those jaw-dropping sonics displayed on DSOTM and GYBR better look elsewhere-this is in two-channel stereo!There's nothing wrong with that,but this SACD doesn't offer much in terms of clarity or detail compared to the regular CD.Granted,its a bit smoother and it has more depth,but there are few "aha!" moments here.This is recommened only for diehard Boston fans.

| I have to respectfully disagree with the previous reviews. I had several CD versions, including the MasterSound Gold version, and they just didn't work. The SACD shows why. The acoustic guitars sound so real, as do the electric guitars - now they sound like a real Les Paul through an overdriven amp. Delicious. I really feel like I'm listening to a freshly recorded master tape as opposed to something more like MP3. Its a classic album but does have some filler tracks on "Side 2", hence my rating.
