The Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Vinyl reissue of Yes Fragile has arrived, and I have been listening and comparing it to the winner of my previous shootout, which you can watch here:
Yes Fragile- Exploring Eight Different Pressings - youtu.be/kiHzarmsS2o
In that extensive comparison of eight pressings of Fragile, I came to the conclusion that the 2016 cut that Kevin Gray did at Cohearant was the most balanced mastering of all 8 copies. If you're interested in purchasing what I felt was the best 33rpm cut, this is the one:
Yes Fragile, 2016, Kevin Gray - amzn.to/4hjIB09
(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
Today, I compare the 2016 to the new Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series Vinyl Series reissue, also cut by Kevin Gray, this time at 45rpm.
It is a two record set, pressed on 180gm vinyl by Quality Record Pressings and housed in a beautiful heavy duty Stoughton Printing gatefold jacket with separate art booklet included. The first 2,000 pressings are numbered editions.
The Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series vinyl reissue of Yes Fragile is available from Acoustic Sounds - store.acousticsounds.com
