A biographical tour-de-force,
By Paul Todd (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (Audio CD)
This album is Elton and Bernie's first attempt at a biographial concept of who they are and how they got there. The work is amazing. The songs are sculpted beautifully, with even richer vocals and orchestrations than those on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. This is absolutely Elton at his vocalistic best, evey song is a gem of wit and powerful emotion. And is there a better EJ song than "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", sugar bear? I think not! An absolute must for any true fan of Reg and Bernie.

DRM riddled CD,
This review is from: Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (Audio CD)
Most folks who order this will already know the music off of the album so I won't go into that...The warning I will give however is that this is one of the early SACD w/ DRM (digital rights management / copy protection) which will not play on many CD/DVD players. A quick trip through universal studio's website does not offer any remedies or refunds. I would definitely not recommend purchasing this product until they re-release it without DRM.

Surround to Please,
By M. Seavey "M. Seavey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (Audio CD)
One of the best SACDs so far. Clean Crisp and Bold. Good separation on the surround mix by Greg Penny, even thought the back speakers seem to over power some of the later selections at times. Very little oversaturation. Perfect Vocals. This confirms analog recording techniques were reaching their peak back in 1975. This is one to show off your system over and over and over again.

Captain Fantastic shines again ! ! !,
By DJ Control - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (Audio CD)
Regarded by many of Elton's ardent fans as a masterpiece,alongside his absolute classic "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road","Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" is a journey all on it's own.The album is biographical with all of the songs detailing Elton and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin's struggle during the early days of their career.Containing the hit single "Someone Saved My Life Tonight",and the classic closing track "We All Fall in Love Sometimes/Curtains",this album is a must for anyone serious about the music of Elton John who may also want to know a little of the story behind the success. Now on to the SACD re-mix/re-issue. What a fantastic job Greg Penny has done remixing the album into 5.1 for SACD.Anyone who owns Elton's back catalogue may do well to start replacing the 1995 remastered issues with the far superior SACD sound.This edition also has the bonus tracks included on the 1995 re-issue making it even more value for your money. Buy it now before it's deleted! 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful

Awesome,
By W. STOCKTON "walt_t_s" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (Audio CD)
I can't believe there aren't more people listening to SACD! If you are an SACD listener get the word out to your friends so this technology will succeed. I am blown away how a recording this old can sound light years ahead of anything you will hear these days. Whether you are new or old to SACD, you won't regret getting this one. Prior to this one, Yellow Brick Road and Roxy Music's Avalon were my favorites. This one has to be the cleanest sounding SACD I have heard to date. It's ashamed you can't find this stuff in the stores. Thank you Amazon!
