I want to second aubullience's comment. This AP SACD of Aja absolutely trumps the Japanse 2010 edition, which I reviewed (as a user) for the old SA-CD.net site. This new ...

I am happy to see hires digital here, but mastering is crucial. Unfortunately, some remasters are much worse, so stating the date and source of the master is invaluable.

Original 2011 SHM SA-CD title, using japanese masters (that were at the time of the album's release directly copied from the original UK master tapes).
The 2016 SHM SA-CD reissue (UIGY-15035) would be sourced from a new 2014 DSD remastering using this time the UK original master tapes.
This new DSD sourcing was at first for the down-converted 2014 Platinum SHM-CD release, and comprised two bonus tracks which would also be included on the 2016 UIGY-15035 SHM SA-CD reissue.
