Thanks, Mike for your thoughtful and inciteful review. Just bought the great album but have yet to hear it. However, I'm sure I'll have the same response as you. Keep up your fine work.
Vinyl doesn't really wear if you play them probably on "decent" equipment, and the cartridge is tracking properly on clean records! But back in the day we really didn't take as much care as we do now, on that I see your point!😊
Yeah I wish I would have done a better job of cleaning and taking care of my albums in my teen years. Some I have been able to make sound acceptable which is good. Thank you.
Hey Mike. Great video! You mentioned at 17:39 that this was remixed by Kevin Gray and I am sure was just a slip of the tongue not to confuse anyone that it was simply remastered (not remixed) from the original stereo analogue master tapes. Not to be confused with Steven Wilson's actual remix remaster of this album back in 2014 and was shortly afterwards released on vinyl. It would be interesting to have a comparison between the Mofi gold CD vs the AP SACD of this. I will do this myself soon when I get my copy.
chad needs to get busy negotiating another anniversary series with another label and do more classic rock prog rock and jazz fusion titles perhaps harvest, track, island, charisma, chrysalis Uk vertigo warner bros, colombia, reprise epic, parlaphone, A&M .... many other possibilities i hope you are working on another label series Chad!
