Intervention Records - IR-SCD4 - Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio
Even if you don’t have an SACD player, you’ll find this edition’s CD layer a vast improvement over your old CD. I’ll be perfectly happy to keep enjoying one of Joe Jackson’s best albums in this outstanding reissue.- Sound 9/10 Soundstage
This SACD remaster sounds better then the original CD release- which sounded pretty good considering it's a mid 80's digital recording and most likely 16/44. Well I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Right away I noticed a more spacious soundstage. You get more of a sense of the size of the Masonic Lodge where it was recorded, with the musicians all having their own space within it. Dynamic range is improved. Overall a natural sounding recording.5/5 CDreview

Remastered By Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio!
Intervention Records issues Joe Jackson's stunning 1984 classic, Body and Soul on hybrid CD/SACD in its (Re)Discover Series.
Body and Soul is a landmark recording as well, being an early digital recording captured on a 32-track 3M system in New York City's Masonic Lodge. The vast reverberant space of the hall is beautifully drawn, and yet Joe and the band sound positively explosive.
Body and Soul is remastered to DSD by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio. The results are amazing! Body and Soul has never sounded so fullbodied. In addition to the wonderful ambience of the Masonic Lodge, the imaging is more three-dimensional and holographic than ever.
The album art is beautifully restored by IR's Tom Vadakan and housed in a super jewel box.
