Today I have a recap of my findings on a shootout of The Yes Album. I had four pressings of this classic Yes Album to compare: 1971 UK Plum Label 1977 US Specialty 2023 Rhino Deluxe 2024 Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 This evaluation was part of a shootout on David Bianco's Safe and Sound Texas Audio Excursion You Tube Channel. Link to that livestream playback here; https://www.youtube.com/live/1e_32mCpD8o?si=hoPYua13BlZg8j52 The new Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series release of The Yes Album was mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio from the original analog master tape, pressed at Quality Record Pressings and issued in a tip on old style double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing. It is a 45rpm release on two 180gm records. I've just been able to access high res digital files that were made on my system of three of the four pressings. Have a listen, preferably through your main system and see if you can hear the differences! 1977 Specialty: https://tinyurl.com/5n732w3v 1971 UK Plum https://tinyurl.com/3bx4vjbm 2024 AP 45 https://tinyurl.com/3wr7jumn 00:00 Introduction 01:07 The Livestream 02:20 The 1977 US Specialty 03:53 The 1971 UK Plums 06:40 The 2023 Rhino Deluxe 08:08 The Analogue Productions 45 16:33 Conclusion The Pressing Matters Amazon Afilliate Link: The Yes Album (Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series LP) https://amzn.to/4clcRWp The Pressing Matters Amazon Affiliate Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/thepressingmatters (As an an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases) If you particularly enjoyed this video, please consider a small one time donation to the channel!
