Lots of interesting remixes and versions indeed.
However, to me the previous version (BD-A + CDs) did not seem to be a "very expensive" item at the time, as I had acquired it ...
Addendum...
One thing that I particularly noticed when I first played this version was that the 1st track (Bodhisattva) sounded like it was running at a faster speed than I ...
I have this one now.
I have listened to this recording for over 50 years on LP and CD. It never ever sounded as good as this sacd does. This is living proof that everything ...

It sounds really good. If I take the Analogue Productions SACD of this album, and turn up the treble some, and turn up the volume 1 notch, I essentially get this new SACD. I guess that shouldn't surprise given that Kevin Gray worked on both versions. While I love both versions equally, there is no real need to get this one if you have the Analogue Productions version. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Thank you. Would it be possible to send us the remastering etc. credit details/names according to the booklet if this release? Many thanks.

Sorry I have to disagree. I am a big fan of AP SACD releases, but I was never impressed with the sound on their version of this album. I actually have a DVD-A that was my favourite, until this. I find the sound cleaner and I love the bonus tracks. It’s great having everything on the one disc.

Worth all the buzz: has never sounded this good before. It's the freshly cleaned window impression again, incredibly enough. The mastering engineer Kevin Gray is really on a roll these days. What's behind that? I was not this impressed by his work before.
