Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs [Remaster] [Super Audio Hybrid CD] by Derek & The Dominos (CD, Nov-2004, Polydor USA)

Great album, much better sound than the normal Cd version.
Yes, this is the version you want.

very happy with this,just dont have huge expectations cause that only leads to disappointment.

Great artist, great songs, but you're not going to get the usual high quality SACD audio, probably due to the poor original recordings.

The music is fine of course, but if you're expecting exceptional sound quality because it is an SACD, you'll be disappointed. I've found that SACDs and DVD-As vary wildly in sound quality; Steely Dan's "Gaucho" DVD-A and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" SACD being exceptionally good for example, while this "Layla" in SACD and Trey Anastasio's solo DVD-A are completely underwhelming at the other end of the scale. Interstingly, Clapton's "Ocean Blvd" SACD is just fine. Go figure! I've been stocking up on discs in both formats to feed my Lexicon player, and when they're good they are the format of choice for sure (especially in surround) ; but given the spotty consistency of my collection to date, I'm afraid the overall failure of these formats is not really surprising.

This CD is in 5:1 surround sound. It compares quite well with the previous
remix re-issues. The mix is true the the original release but sound clearer.
Layla sessions did suffer from poor recording quality due to the nature of
sessions.

This one is the one to keep and play , especially on SACD player. Its the closest you will get to being there is the studio sessions

JUST ABOUT THE BEST PERFORMANCE ERIC CLAPTON HAS EVER DONE ONLY BECAUSE DUANE ALLMAN PUSHES HIM TO KEEP UP. BEAUTYFULL GITAR DUELING GOING ON THROUGHOUT. I LOVE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BUT DUANE SENDS THIS CD TO AN UNREAL SOUNDSTAGE. SACD IS EXCELLENT. AWESOME!!!! REAL NICE REMASTERING
