You guys are the greatest!

I'm sorry to interrupt your day but sometimes I've got to say "you engineers are the greatest"!

I just got done listening through another run of "Close to the Edge" (Yes) and man did you guys ever nail it! I'm listening nearfield of course and I had things going front to back and front again that just about ran me over, going way behind me then back up front. You 70's rock engineers are simply amazing.

anyway, that's all, go back to what you were doing, I'm just having a moment here

Hi Michael,

This post really caught my eye! I guess I around 1,100 CDs, and of all of them, there were only 4 that I have found unlistenable. they would be"

Joe Jackson- Look Sharp

Derek and the Dominoes - the double album on one disc

Gin Blossoms- first album

Yes- Close to the Edge

The Yes disc was the one that bothered me the most, because I love the music. I had it for many years, and every time I tried to listen to it, I ended up taking it off within a couple of minutes because it sounded so bad. This January, I bought a remastered copy, and it sounds (as you said) great. So happy that it was remastered! It made a huge difference.

jafant,
I think when I bought if off of Amazon it said it had been remastered in 2013. I'm not saying that it's a masterpiece reference recording now, but it's at least fun to listen to. Do you have another to recommend?
