I haven't heard about the rest of the slated batch of Virgin titles. If anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate a reply so that I can flag these as released as well.

I got it on Friday. It's really great to hear all of those songs in such great quality but it's only stereo and kind of a let down after hearing Avalon, which has a wonderful multichannel mix. That being said, if you are a huge fan then it's great to hear the tunes so clear.

Going from the 2-channel SACD layer to the 2-channel CD layer is like night and day! I hadn't realised how compressed CD actually sounded until I fooled around with this disc.

Brilliant album, but the booklet's a bit of a let down. Doesn't even contain songwriting credits!!
