referencing Tales From Topographic Oceans (2×LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, 180g, Gatefold, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM) R1 82683
Why does the listing indicate an additional 12" but no tracklist etc? -
excellent first French edition. Great dynamics. words words words words
-
Great pressing; really warm and full sounding. Not much surface noise. -
Found a NM copy of this pressing. Ran it through my ultrasonic cleaning system. It is darn near dead quiet and I agree with the praise below! Very nice hot stampers on this one! Dynamic, crystal clear, beautiful sound staging. It is the best TFTO version I have ever heard. System: Brinkmann Bardo, 12” arm, Acoustical Systems Archon cart, Labs XP15 phono pre, Audio Research Reference One preamp, BAT VK 60 amp, Paradigm Persona 9H speakers, all high end interconnects and isolation used through out.
-
My copy has a Rock 4 and Rock 6 sleeve
-
Clear and bold sound. Absolutely stunning! For serious collectors and audiophiles -
Edited 10 months agoFavorite Yes release; excellent sounding pressing. I don’t understand the “indulgent” criticism; I find this composition to be rather restrained. Wakeman hardly gets any solo time, for example; now THAT would be indulgent! It’s just a long record with long songs, but long shouldn’t mean indulgent. -
It is not perfect,but this Kikuchi remaster is the best cd there is.
-
flat and muddy compared to my usa 1st pressing and the rhino reissue
-
For a 50 year old record this is amazing, a must have for any Yes or prog fans, outstanding piece of work.
