I think the earlier Gong remasters were done very well (Shamal was ok as it was I feel) as the Flying Teapot trilogy I felt was originally rather murky and dense sounding. I just can't get into Van Der Graaf Generator and I've really tried with Pawn Hearts which I knew when it came out.
Currently enjoying some Big Finish audio stories (Doctor Who and UFO). Production is usually to a very high standard and it works on headphones and speakers too. Too many discs and box sets released to even begin to follow the timelines, but downloads are available if you don't want physical discs (I do, but that's just me).

SHAMAL sound better cos it was not recorded at the Manor studio lol. These new editions sound better than the last but as they say you cannot polish a turd, im on ANGELS EGG now which wasa better production than THE FLYING TEAPOT imho.
VDGG were not very popular over here in blighty at the time, The Europens love em tho.. USA/CANADA never got a sniff live till the late 70's. Ive gota CD-r from Jan 1977 of an Alsion Steel (Nightbird) radio show with them in her studio for the U.S Army reserve show but was record earlier in 1976, Canadian leg of the tour back then was 1976, they not been there prior to that.

YES - FRAGILE YES - TORMATO YES - GOING FOR THE ONE YES - DRAMA All 1994 Remasters, Got the full set now all like new for £20, can't go wrong. What i like about most early CD's no shit Bonus tracks. At the end of the day its industry luring fans in to re-buy the CD Besides YES - YESTERDAYS/CLASSIC/YESSONGS & YESSHOW, were not re-issued with the last editions, just like GENESIS - LIVE /SECONDS OUT & THREE SIDES LIVE wernt. Half a job as always with em.

Not actually took notice of CD sales but ive been on AMAZON today looking for CD' & you can't buy hardly anything now. Looks like Mint second hand CD's are the order of the day. This does however make me think i do need a spare CD player or two.

Just now: THE DOORS - THE DOORS (1988 Remaster issue) Dont want those 40th Anniversary mix bollox. THE NICE - ELERGY THE NICE - FIVE BRIDGES SUITE A similar thing happened to me with Croft monoblocks. Twice supposedly failed to deliver and twice returned to the seller. Apparently I’d turned them away! Well somebody clearly did but it certainly wasn’t me and they never came near my address. I never got another chance but these days I don’t care. I’ve come to the conclusion that lots of my Hi-Fi swapping of yesteryear was down to me being unhappy in my home space and also how the Hi-Fi sat within it. Now I’m settled I don’t seem to care about changing the Hi-Fi.
