I am not sure if this suggestion has surfaced on this thread yet, but I'd like to give a blanket recommendation to the Eddie Higgins SACD releases on the Venus Label from Japan. These are single-layer SACDs -- they won't play elsewhere than an SACD-capable drive.
The engineering is wonderful and the tracks sound just splendid. The packaging is extremely solid and durable. All the liner notes are in Japanese, which (alas) I don't read, but the track names are in English.
If you want a good one to start, I'd suggest "Bewitched".
Acoustic Sounds has got them. Probably elsewhere, too.

I have not tried out any Venus SACDs other than Eddie Higgins -- I probably will try a few in the future.
(For the record, I have no financial motive in this post -- no connection with the label at all. )
