Nick Drake – A Treasury

Found this at Amoeba as I was walking out (OK, one more) - and yes, LUSH is a nice description. I figure the LP comes from the DSD master? Original release was the same time. I had the SACD and it was amazing but no digital at this point to do a compare.

I'm confused why this doesn't sell for way more than it does. It is fantastic, much better sound than the LP box sets that came out a few years back. The SACD layer is just stunning. I hate using "audiophile" type statements but this does have a VERY in the room feel.Very natural sounding. It sounds as if it could of been recorded last week.Grad it you'll be happy.

Agree with other reviews. Warm analogue sound, and laid back. If you reverse the right left channels Nick’s voice and guitar, the drums, the strings, the piano, the horns, and wonderful backup singers all have more separation, without having his voice or guitar leave the center, while listening via SACD 2 channel.

Release with "Back to Black" sticker in 180gr. like the 2004er version?

I use a little tone control on this one, Mids back, and highs up. The voicing mix is somewhat enveloped by the mix a bit. But good, it's a mellow feeling. Like an innocent, yet Seachange affair in a 70's romance movie, makes you ponder. A hazy orange, plaid, photo Film look. Analogue sound, I agree, I have only listened to this on the DSD layer. I suggest you listen to the entire album through, on a snowy day off. Stand by your windows view for the first two songs. Worthy DSD. Beautiful sound consistency through the album. Couch music.

This was released in 2014, not 2004. How do I submit the change? The liner notes say revised 2014.

SACD layer won’t play on my McIntosh MVP 871 Sounds great still, but I’d like to hear the SACD

Amazing warm and analogue sound of the terrific hits collection from the genius!

This is touted as an audiophile record..B.S. Its perfectly decent but the dynamics are not audiophile level

Any remarks on sound quality??? ?? ??? Thanks a lot
