This is a review of the vinyl reissue of RELAYER. I won't comment too much on the music here as this recording is not new but from the mid- seventies. It is a powerful work,probably the most progressive 'out there' recording in Yes' career. I looked forward to buying this new copy on vinyl and received it the other day. The gatefold LP jacket is reproduced perfectly with the inclusion of a small red '180 gram' logo on the back. The vinyl is thick and dead flat...so good so far. It's downhill from there folks.This is a DULL lifeless pressing. I don't know what went wrong here but it is lacking in overall presence. It sounds as is the high frequences are shaved off. I pulled out an old copy I have with a $3 sticker on it and gave it a spin. Wonderful dynamics, extension in the bass and treble...the only thing the reissue had over the old one was a dead quite surface ( no ticks or pops). BE WARE!

Just picked up this copy, to see how it is. One of my all-time fave Yes albums, being the only one with Pat Moraz on keys (check out blazing Mini-Moog solo on "Sound Chaser" - one of the all-time great recorded synth solos). I was swayed by "mastered from original tapes." Unfortunately, it must have been DIGITALLY (re)mastered, because all the tell-tale signs of digital mastering are present in abundance: flat, listless, lifeless, dull, one-dimensional sound. The absolute opposite of everything analog. Played on my Well-Tempered Amadeus table with Grado Statement cartridge; which makes clear almost any discernable strength and flaw. And this pressing is fatally flawed; not worth the money. Tragic pressing of a phenomenal album. :-(
