Incredible limited edition 16 Hybrid-SACD box set, featuring the 13 albums (15 discs) released by English prog rock group between 1968 and 1987, plus a unique 12-track bonus disc of rare mixes and single versions, all newly remastered and packaged in standard jewel cases. Albums include; "Yes (1969)," "Time and a Word (1970)," "The Yes Album (1971)," "Fragile (1971)," "Close to the Edge (1972)," "Yessongs (1973)," "Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973)," "Relayer (1974)," "Going for the One (1977)," "Tormato (1978)," "Drama (1980)," "90125 (1983)," and "Big Generator (1987).".
This two-CD set is that odd musical griffin: a live disc plus a studio disc. While the live material is rendered well, it's dispiriting that two of Yes' three live albums of the '90s rehash material adequately covered in Yessongs and Yesshows. While the appearance of Steve Howe's classical guitar on the lovely "Turn of the Century" is a pleasant surprise, the rest of the live album is nothing that you haven't heard before…
Credo were once described as “The best progressive rock band you’ve never heard of.” …
Dr. Ebbetts specializes in releasing digital remasterings from long-deleted and hard-to-obtain vinyl records, particularly issues from the audiophile Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (MFSL) label. Although the Ebbetts catalogue has many artists, it is most known for Beatles CDs transferred from the best quality MFSL releases, US releases and mono vinyl sources. While lables like Millenium, BEAT, Mirror Spock and Fabulous Sound Labs (FSL) also issue 'needle drops' of Beatles vinyl, Dr. Ebbetts is regarded by many audiophiles as being the highest quality. For those interested in the technical, one source close to the Dr says that Ebbetts says that he uses no noise reduction and that there's no magic formula…just a good ear and patience.
In a big picture this new full-fledge version is a masterpiece work as it tells the whole story with excellent music composition and orchestration…
