The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (2010) [SHM-SACD]

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.

"Somebody said that we could get the London Bach Choir," Jagger recalled, "and we said, 'That will be a laugh. - www.rollingstone.com
