This Single-Layer SHM-SACD can only be played on a Super Audio CD Player!
SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance the audio-resolution. These discs are made with polycarbonate developed for the screen of the liquid crystal display. As it has a higher transparency, players can read the signal more faithfully. Also, it excels in fluidity, which enables you to cast a more accurate pit. What works wonders for a low resolution format such as CD should offer even greater sonic improvements in a real high resolution format such as SACD.
Queen's 12th studio album is based on the soundtrack to the film Highlander. The album only hit #45 in the U.S. charts but went straight to the top in the U.K. and produced three hit singles. Features "A Kind of Magic", "Friends Will Be Friends", "Who Wants To Live Forever" and "One Vision".
