First of all, these albums are some of the greatest albums ever produced. Yes is the master at their genre and these recordings represent the pinnacle of progressive rock, which, for those who may not be familiar, is rock music that combines elements of classical, jazz, vocal, pop and performance inside a rock-n-roll wrapper. It's music for those who like rock but easily tire of the 3-minute "verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-chorus" format. Several Yes songs are over 20-minutes long and take up the entire side of an LP. These albums have always been regarded as some of the most-listenable rock albums of all time but now, with these updated mixes, we're provided with clarity and nuances easily missed in the original releases. These are not new versions of the songs, mind you, so purists needn't worry about altering classic recordings. They're simply updated mixes realized from modern studio equipment, techniques and capabilities that subtly but noticeably enhance the original tracks. The packaging is excellent with all LPs coming in gatefold covers, some with new artwork. The vinyl records are heavy and sound great. I've noticed a few slight pops on occasion but I've yet to properly clean the records of any pressing debris. I'm completely happy with this release and I encourage all Yes fans to give it a listen. This is now a prized part of my collection.
I would recommend this to a friend

Steven Wilson is great and these remixes. Especially with Yes.
