New Yes Remasters?

4yank - thanks for your vinyl input

and I just had won a japanese pressing lp of CTTE on ebay last week and GFTO a month ago

I think the Yes album new Rhino cd remaster is absolutely fabulous. I bought a Japanese cd of Going For the One and it is light years better than the Atlantic remaster from a few years back, much more detail and dynamics.

I recently splurged on a Nottingham Spacedeck and can't wait to hear this stuff again in all it's vinyl splendor

so how rare are the first issue british lps?
couldn't they take one of those and reburn the lathe for it?
Certainly YEs deserves 180 g remastering for it's classic years

Tom, the earliest red/plum UK Atlantic versions of "Album" and "Fragile" show up from time to time on E-Bay and generally finish at somewhere between $25-60, depending on condition. You can find one sometimes on gemm.com and they are almost always offered by UK dealers. In such cases, my advice is to ask specific questions regarding vinyl condition and surface noice because I have often found the standard UK desciption of EX (excellent) to be highly variable.

I, too, would have interest in 180/200g remasters on LP. As far as reburn the original lathes, I haven't a clue.

The next 3 in the series Tormato,Drama and 90125 are now out in the UK-I bought them yesterday.

I just got "The Yes Album" and it sounds great. I'm a big fan of remasters. Many of the 60's and early seventies classics were poorly done on cd originally. Almost all of the remasters I've got have been a big improvement over the original release. Not perfect, but good music.

Wildoats I have the whole set,look out for a review of the whole series coming to Audiogon sometime soonish.
