Steve Hoffman/Kevin Gray to do YES "FRAGILE" on 180 gram vinyl for Analogue Prods.!

Now that I think of it, the little hype sticker on my copy said that Kevin Gray cut the LP too!

 

Well seeing as What Records have the 2016 LP for £25 and the KG/SG earlier effort for only £5 more, it's a no brainer - I will probably pick this up and see how it fares against my original UK plum label.

 

I bought the KG/SH Acoustech version of the LP from what records, they had it incorrectly dated as 2010 which confused me - it's actually on the grey AP label and dated 2006, with a heavy duty tip-on cover, so glad I paid only £5 more for this one over the 2016, which I'm sure is fine but this one is a beauty! I'm looking forward to spinning it soon.

 

I just came across an unopened KG/SH AP Silver label 2006 that I must have order in mid-late 2000’s and set aside and then forgot about. Playing it now. Very impressive reissue. Well done Steve, Chad et al!!

 

Just when I need a great copy of Fragile!

 

I stumbled upon a mint used copy of this AP pressing at my local record store recently. Such a sweet sounding cut!

 

I have no idea how mine got lost in the shuffle for so long, but I’m really pumped to have discovered it. No idea which cut I have but it sounds really, really great. Getting ready to play it for a third time.

 

Checking the deadwax while flipping her over....mine is the earlier A / B cut. Sweet. Not surprised based on how it sounds. Fat, warm and deep with an immense stage. Amazing bass presence.

 

Sadly I missed your post until today and of course I'm too late. It's now out of stock.

You did however introduce me to a site with some crazy cheap prices and I'm now £155 worse off.
I blame you for this 100% and you should hang your head in shame!

 

Is this the same LP that has a hype sticker on it stating "cut from the original analog master tapes by Kevin gray for Cohearent Audio"?

 

Nope, that's the 2016 Rhino. Steve's pressing has an AcousTech hype sticker with Kevin and Steve's signatures.

 

I so wish this version would become available on CD.....the EQ is perfect.
