    Black Sabbath: SHM-SACDs are the way to go except for Paranoid and Heaven and Hell (and IIRC they didn’t do a Sabotage one). I preferred a de-emphasized ‘86 Castle release for Paranoid, also an ‘86 Castle for Sabotage, and a needledrop of a UK 1st press for Heaven and Hell, although the Deluxe Edition is also decent. Mob Rules also didn’t get a SACD but the ‘88 or ‘89 WB CD sounds really good.

    For Van Halen you absolutely cannot beat the 24/192 remasters from a few years ago. Incredible depth, exceptional texture, details are easy to pick out without being in your face. Some people prefer the DCC of the first album, just depends on your preference.

    And speaking of DCC titles, Highway 61 Revisited trumps the MFSL stereo SACD, and The Doors releases best the recent SACD. I have yet to hear the Highway 61 mono SACD however. In general the MFSL Dylan releases have been excellent.
