Universal was not a huge supporter of SACD, but released lots of titles I would consider essential on SACD, depending on your taste. For example, the entire output of the Police and all Elton John's early stuff is available on SACD from Universal. Some of the greatest jazz albums are as well, including Coltrane's A Love Supreme, the Getz/Gilberto and Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald.

Rock staple SACDs from Universal include Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore by the Allman Brothers, Derek and the Dominos--Layla, etc.
