Review by analogue February 20, 2009 (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
Performance:   Sonics:
This landmark album has been called "spooky" blues and for good reason. I'm looking at the reviews regarding sound quality and perhaps the disparity is due to equipment rather than the actual quality of the sacd or the transfer. I also have the hdad from classic records and I prefer the sacd by alot. It seems more open and transparent and less or little compression. I can easily hear how Muddy Maters voice goes from soft to very powerful and loud quickly. On track 3 I can hear his soft breathing, the creaking of the chair and can place exactly where the bassist and 2nd guitasr player are in all tracks. This is a very good transfer and Muddy's performance is sublime. His voice is what blues is all about. This is truly a one of a king audiophile record that deserves it's place in history. The sacd does it justice I feel.

Note: universal owns the rights to this and is one of the largest if not the largest music company in the world. And yet they sit on a treasure trove of music (well over a million master tapes at one single facility)and ignore people like us that spend their hard earned dollars on music while everyone else caters to inferior sound quality. Go figure.

Performance:   Sonics:
I'm sorry. I absolutely love this disc. One of the greatest blues performances ever recorded as far as I am concerned. However this SACD as far as I am concerned is sonically dull. I don't know if another master was used or if it was remixed, but the Mo Fi gold disc and the Chess remaster have more openness and clarity than this. My first great disappointment on sound quality of an SACD (and at this moment I can't think of any other).

Review by FivePointOne September 15, 2004
Performance:   Sonics:
This sure sounds nice. Stereo sound. It's not as clean as the Analogue Productions' John Lee Hooker disc, but it's pretty damn good. Great balance between the vocals and the instruments (esp. the bass). And it is Muddy Waters playing with Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon. What are you waiting for?
