Re: Brain Salad Surgery - SACD

yes I noticed that and hopefully it will sound good. It is about the only ELP album I can listen to now I'm in advanced years...

Re: Brain Salad Surgery - SACD

I never did have it on vinyl but I had a friend who was a big ELP fan and I had a cassette copy

I bought the Castle cd release and it sounds awful

It does indeed. In fact after reading this post I dusted it off and gave it an airing for the first time in years.

Excellent!

Often seen as their best, and while it is good, I actually prefer the first album and Tarkus.
