Japanese SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD)
pressings utilize a special polycarbonate layer over
super-defined SACD pits for better transparency
and read accuracy. Boasting carefully selected
master audio (including DSD), each disc is limited to
SHM-SACDs
a two-channel SACD layer in order to secure optimal
reflectance and prevent DSD-file compression.
These unique discs will wow you with dynamics and
clarity. (Note: SHM-SACDs require an SACD player
and cannot be played in standard CD players.)

DIRE STRAITS Communiqué
STEELY DAN Gaucho
QUEEN A Night at the Opera
The short-lived partnership
between Eric Clapton, Ginger
Baker, and Steve Winwood
produced this masterpiece of
British blues and psychedelic pop.
Toss in a non-denominational
spiritual vibe, and you have a
testament to inimitable musical
chemistry. Baker’s mammoth
drum sound is alone worth the
price of admission.
On 1979’s Communiqué, Dire
Straits refine their pub-rock
aesthetic with an intoxicating
combination of easygoing
shuffles, bluesy boogies, and
pop-honed ballads that mirrors
the old-fashioned soulfulness
inherent in the classic recordings
of the late 50s and early 60s. This
disc has sonic purity, transparent
soundstages, and rich tonalities
in spades.
“Music so technically demanding
its creators had to call in A-list
session players to realize the
sounds they heard in their heads
but could not play, even on the
instruments they had mastered,”
wrote Barry Walters in Rolling
Stone, superbly summarizing why
everyone needs to own Gaucho,
a Grammy winner for Best
Engineered Album.
Flamboyant vocalist Freddie
Mercury and smooth-toned
guitarist Brian May strike a
righteous balance of excess,
restraint, classicism, pomp,
seriousness, exaggeration, and
multi-layered production on
1975’s A Night at the Opera.
Ranked among the greatest rock
albums ever made, it contains the
immortal “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

This Japanese-only reissue of a compilation
originally released in 1984 adds ten bonus
tracks, spoiling listeners with 26 songs that
formed the foundation of classic rock—or, in
Who parlance, “maximum R&B.” The power,
punch, and persuasion of cuts such as “My
Generation” and “Magic Bus” reach fuseblowing peaks on this SHM-SACD.
