ELTON JOHN - ELTON JOHN (LIMITED EDITION JAPANESE IMPORT SHM-SACD)

Elton John Elton John on Limited Edition Japanese Import SHM-SACD

Another technological breakthrough from Japan! These new, Japanese SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) pressings utilize a special polycarbonate layer over super-defined SACD pits for better transparency and read-accuracy. Originally developed for LCD panels, the SHM technology was found to reduce read-errors on discs and thus incorporated into these special discs. SHM-SACDs are also manufactured with more clearly defined pits for better tracking and less resultant jitter. In addition, the label side of all SHM-SACDs is coated with a special green ink designed to decrease laser refraction. And rest assured: These discs are mastered from the best sources available in Japan and will utterly amaze you with their transparency, dynamics, and lifelike presentation. SHM-SACDs require an SACD player and cannot be played in a standard CD player.

Elton John's eponymous 1970 sophomore release finds the Elton John/Bernie Taupin songwriting partnership coming into sharp focus with grandiose string arrangements from Paul Buckmaster, resulting in their first of many hit albums to come.
