Yes Remasters-Gastwrit vs. Rhino


I pretty much posted this exact thread a few months ago, but now that the Rhino remasters have been out for awhile, has any Yes fan out there done a true A to B comparison on these releases.
Are the Rhino remasters an improvement over Joe's remasters?
Thanks!

I have the entire Rhino set and would agree they are superior although I only heard about 5 of the previous remasters.

The Rhino's are superior but I wouldn't describe the difference as massive.
That's surprising. Gastwirt is considered a fine remastering engineer. Wonder why his aren't up to snuff?
I did read that the remasters released by Rhino were supervised by Chris Squire, the final results were subject to approval by the band, as were the additional selections, which make the Rhino offering all the more worthwhile; These albums sound as the band would want them to...There is a TON of bonus stuff, and the tracks all sound great.

Rhino will also be releasing a live album based on material gleaned from performances over the last two years. Judging by the level of musicianship they are currently displaying, this would make a fine addition to your collection as well.
I would agree with Ben, the Rhino's are better, but not so much you'll fall our of your chair....
