I remember buying this on vinyl at the time and feeling somewhat underwhelmed. Even allowing for the passage of time it is surprising to me that it has made its way onto SACD.

I heard it on one of those SACDs Steven mentioned above and I was also very underwhelmed. I'm surprised (and disappointed) it's getting yet *another* reissue when so many classic analog recordings remain un-remastered at all.
