Damn The Torpedoes [Blu-ray Audio] (Blu-ray Audio)

I have purchased many SACD's over the years and none can compare to incredible soundstage of this this iconic album. I have a few of the "Pure Audio" Blu-rays and they vary in comparison depending on the title. Yes, I know that there are just some titles available on Blu-ray audio that remastering will not make them sound like they were recorded yesterday.
