SACD (Super Audio CD)

The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).

Item will be re-manufactured.

The revenge: A ballad of the fleet op. 24

6 At flores in the Azores - Then spake Sir Richard Grenville - So Lord Howard pass'd away - But Sir Richard bore in hand
7 He had only a hundred seamen - Shall we fight of shall we fly? - And Sir Richard said again
8 Sir Richard spoke and he laugh'd - Thousands of their soldiers look'd down - And while now the great San Philip - ...
9 And the night went down - And we had not fought them - But Sir Richard cried - And the gunner said - And the lion there
10 And the stately Spanish men - But he rose upon - I have fought - With a joyful spirit - And they stared at the death
11 But they sank his body - When a wind from the lands - Till it smote - And the little Revenge herself went down
