Hi-
Maybe that's why I like "Selling England", as my CD
was bought back in '86. Guess I'll also drag out the
vinyl and compare stuff. Thanks.
The most recent remastering that impressed me was
Yes' "Tales from Topographic Oceans" on Rhino. A bit
more dynamics, and a restored opening section to the
1st track. However, Rhino's remastering always sounds
a little grainy to me. The mastering compression of
the 70's is very apparant, though. The bonus tracks
are early run-throughs, and have a lot of dynamics,
well worth the listen.
