Billy Joel - The Stranger & 52nd Street - SACD

I got both of these out of curiosity - I've already got a couple of his SBM reissues.
52nd Street turns out to be pretty good, with a nice aggressive mix making full use of the rear speakers.
The Stranger turns out to be superb, a lovely aggressive mix, and every song on it first rate.
Both discs are single layer multi-channel - I've not tried the stereo, but the sound of the M-C is very much to my liking. They do not sound to me as if any form of noise reduction has been used.
