Yes - Fragile - A.P. 45rpm vs. MOFI One-Step; 2023 Rhino Atlantic 75; Steven Wilson Remix & 1971 OG
In this video I compare to the long awaited (but not the newest release in this test) Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 series release of Yes' 1971 classic: Fragile.
To what do I compare it? Well, my UK 1971 'red & plum' Atlantic original, the 2019 Mobile Fidelity One-Step 2 x 45rpm pressing, the 2023 Rhino Atlantic 75 crystal clear vinyl, version which was cut by legendary mastering engineer Kevin Gray, and by complete surprise the newest release of all: a reissue of the 2015 Steven Wilson Remix. So, five versions on vinyl. Which one(s) come out on top?

Vinyl: A Pressing Problem - The Good & The Bad: Record Pressing Plants and Pressing Defects Examined
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.16 часов назад
In response to viewer requests, I'm following up on previous videos in which I've discussed not so much poor recording, or poor mastering, but problems with the actual manufacture of the physical media itself: vinyl record pressing problems: warps, non-fill, pops, ticks and clicks, skips, sticks and jumps. Some record pressing plants are undoubtedly worse than others. In this video I discuss an...

Просмотров 4,4 тыс.21 день назад
After a very excited wait, I have been listening to the long-awaited Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 series release of Genesis' 1976 "come back" album A Trick of the Tail. This absolutely superb new Chris Bellman all-analogue cut is presented on 2x45rpm LPs pressed at the world's number one (in my opinion) pressing plant: QRP. A Trick of the Tail was in fact the very first album I ever bought,...

I only discovered this captivating and easily accessible jazz classic a few years ago, and upon doing so had to find a nice vinyl copy of it. The best I could find and afford at the time was the 2009 repress of the 1988 Original Jazz Classic release, remastered by Phil De Lanice. So, it was with considerable excitement that I placed my pre-order for the brand new Acoustic Sounds Contemporary Se...

In this video I listen to my first two records from the recently introduced Deutsche Grammophon Original Source Series.

In fact there's only one aspect that could potentially spoil the ...

With my 'Reel To Reel Rambler' hat on, I received last week, what was quite frankly an astonishing press release. It was from none other than Revox, perhaps the most significant name in reel to reel tape (along with its 'professional studio recorder' sister brand Studer). The news is that Revox are introducing an all new reel to reel tape recorder: the B77 mk III. It's been around 25 years sinc...
