2025 RHINO RESERVE 180-GRAM REISSUE

Finally able to retire my old, beat-up and unlistenable Atco original LP; favorite tracks on here remain the famous opener and "Changes." To be perfectly honest, I don't really care for side two...

Sound quality was nice -- definitely on the pulled-back/warm side with smoothed-out top end. No surface noise with thick, flat vinyl.

I'd buy another Rhino Reserve reissue after hearing this one, should there be an album I was interested in. I was prepared to pick up Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night from the Reserve series, but ended up going with the Mobile Fidelity two-LP package. From what I understand, the Fleetwood Mac Rhino LP was a bit on the lower output side, and the Yes album seems to be the same way -- although, as I said, very smooth and warm with tight, punchy bass on the drums.

Some additional notes: I have a couple of other Rhino reissues in my collection, including Chicago X (Greatest Hits) on yellow vinyl and The Eagles' Hotel California, but the Yes LP definitely sounded different than those two (better and significantly quieter in terms of surface noise). I also don't really care for the label artwork Rhino uses on these Reserve reissues, but that's subjective.

A very recent transfer of Robert Johnson's "Crossroad Blues" made from the original stamper in 1940, transferred very recently, sounds unplayed.
