Review by Lance B September 24, 2007 (6 of 6 found this review helpful)
Performance:  Sonics (S):
What a revelation! I was never a great Elton John fan even though I quite liked some of his songs but after listening to this SACD version of Honky chateau, I am a convert. This was a good SACD album to try as I have the standard CD version of it and the SACD version leaves it for dead, IMO. There is so much detail and dynamics that it's quite amazing, so good in fact that I kept on listening and listening to it. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Performance:  Sonics:
And extremely good sounding disc. Even better even than Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. The piano sounds very full and luxurious. Great songs, too. The mix is faithful to the original LP.

Performance:  Sonics (S):
This is yet another spectacular release of early Elton John sacd's by Universal Music.

Full, warm, rich and dynamic. The musicians and Elton's voice rendered in incredible realism.

Beautiful sacd transfer and sound that will stun you.
If all classic rock albums sounded this way....life would be grand.

Outstanding!!!!!!

Highly recommended.
