Instead they add all this mastering info on them, which is not needed.

Actually it is needed to market the SACDs.
Many Stereo CD and Stereo SACD listeners buy them because Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray are the mastering engineers that Audio Fidelity uses.

Never cared much for Cooper's work, so I guess I will take a pass on this one.

The Judy Collins, on the other hand, is a great part of my past. Her stuff in quad is a great opportunity for me to visit!

I am hoping the sound is not too warm, and retains the bright clarity that original LPs (both quad and stereo) had.

Indeed...it's very important to me....sometimes it makes the difference between a purchase or passing on a release...it has become as important to me as who did the mix on a multichannel disc...

Absolutely important for most buyers in my experience.
Mixing and mastering sometimes seems more important than the artist, content or format.
Hoffman, Gray, Wilson, Skinas are the gold standard and their names carrying a great deal of weight.

Well, after almost 9 months since it has been available, I finally ordered myself a copy of the "Colors of the Day: Best of Judy Collins" SACD from Audio Fidelity.
This was the Quadraphonic SACD I held off on purchasing the longest because when previewing the music it just did not suit me, but since I'm pretty much all caught up on purchasing and preordering new releases (at least what is available to preorder and buy thus far…) I decided to go back and revisit releases from past years that I had yet to pick up, and this one shone out above all the rest. (Plus it was one of the cheapest too…)
Anyway, I'm getting this one from amazon.com, and it should arrive on Sunday! (Boy I love having Sunday delivery in my area.)
