@slaw - I like the Yes album - "Going for the One" and already had a good US release. However, I never really loved the SQ. Always seemed a bit jumbled. Good songs, bad mix IMHO. Just doesn't have a clear, crisp sound and all of the instruments and voices seemed to be jumbles together. I just received the Japan release yesterday. Paid a premium for a "M" copy. Gave it it's first spin yesterday. Was underwhelmed. Sounded about the same as the US version I already owned, but a bit nicer copy. For me, the Japan version was not worth the premium I paid over the US version. Too bad, as I really like the album, just not the underlying SQ.
