Goodbye Yellow Brick Road SACD: nice job!

This one's a keeper. Intelligent use of surrounds, nice packaging, good bonus tracks, very good sound (a bit 'toppy' as in trebly, but not ear-splittingly so). The album really opens up without losing its essence or defiling one's memory (unlike, say, some of the remxies on Yes' "Fragile' DVD-A).

Btw, Best Buy was selling hte 'deluxe' 3-disc SACD (2 discs plus bonus DVD) for the same price as the 'standard' SACD (2 discs only): $27.99. Other stores (e.g. Tower) had the deluxe version for $37.99, versus $27.99 for the standard.
