I had it arrive in an order from the UK the other day. Unfortunately, I am in a different state to my SACD player at the moment so a full review of the M/C mix will have to wait until the new year. However, the CD layer sounds pretty good. I can't wait to hear Get It On in surround.
Excellent and much better than the recent Bowie (Ziggy) release - although both mixed by Visconti. Lots of agressive bass there (that was my key moan about the Ziggy remix) and some effects.
What was immediately noticeable were the extra instruments buried within the mix - subtle sounds that I do not remember in the original vinyl I had back then. Rather more like "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" in the mix - open, some use of surround effects, but not with the sledgehammer approach.
The audio quality is superb too - where Mark is multi-tracked you can really hear the effect. I still have my original 45rpm single of "Jeepster" - the difference is remarkable (not surprising really!). One to recommend (that should have read "Get it on" - the memory is going with age but the ears are still OK!)
I played it to a kid brother (27) who had never really heard of T.Rex (ah well....) and he was impressed with the album - to the extent that he is buying it on SACD too! Nuff said!
Aitch :sun

Very cool! Does anyone know if there's a plan for a domestic (USA) release?

Not true, Visonti did Heathen and Reality, but Ken Scott (the original producer) did Ziggy. I quite like it!
