The Dark Side of the Moon: 30th Anniversary Edition [Hybrid SACD - DSD]
Pink Floyd | Format: Audio CD
I can't wait to hear from somebody who has heard the new DSOTM releases that came out this week. The 30th Anniv Editions (Both the SACD and the LP) were IMO both far and away the best SQ ever released in their respective formats. It will be tough to top them, but one can hope.

The reason I have been sitting on the sideline so far with regards to the new DSOTM release is the complete lack of information about it. Nowhere in any of the promotional material about it have them mentioned any effort to achieve better sound nor do they even say if it is a heavy vinyl release. The 30th Anniv LP set the bar for SQ and if this new release in fact pushes that envelope I will be right there to buy one, but if it is simply a plain old compressed sounding record for the ipod crowd I'm not interested. I'm just waiting to see what the deal is since the pre-release info was very sketchy.
