- čas přidán 30. 05. 2024
- I have just been listening to the the brand new Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 series issue of the Yes 1983 progressive rock epic '90125'. This absolutely superb new Kevin Gray all-analogue cut is presented on 2x45rpm LPs pressed at QRP - Quality Record Pressings.
I also compare this to my UK original Bob Ludwig cut LP, and discuss the sonic differences of this phenomenal sounding example of Trevor Horn's production.

Very thorough review! Thank you for your recommendation, we will definitely buy a copy. This album brings back a lot of memories as it was the first time I saw Yes on tour. God rest Chris Squire.🙏🏻🎧
Wow, I’m a bit envious of you seeing them back in 1971. I first saw them on the Drama tour, so neither of the ‘proper’ line-ups…
my Yes journey ended with Magnification, after that Jon Anderson left and wasnt the same for me, though i loved the Drama album. i saw the band at Wembley on the 90125 tour, fantastic! Very fond of the Ladder album too great sound quality.
Thanks for the feedback Steve,
I really do need to give more time to the later albums (all those after 90125, apart from Fly From Here and Fly From Here Return Trip which I do really like). I've bought them all as they've come out but very rarely did I '"get into" them...
Great review and thank you for the video. I bought this new reissue to replace my old copy I bought when it came out in 1983 and boy am I happy with how it sounds! I was 13 years old when this album came out and it's the album that opened the doors of the progressive rock world for me. I started buying all of YES' albums and other bands of the genre after 90125 came out. Within the year it came out I must've listened to this album at least 500 times. I also had made a copy on a cassette tape that I would listen to in my Walkman. Even to this day, I can say this album is in my top 5 albums of all time. It brings back so many great memories of my teenage years and of simpler times.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Your 90125 is my Going for the One. 👍
Although not a classic Yes album, 90125 was a great comeback with an 80's vibe, which was a great move to keep themselves active in that new decade. Flawless album for what it is. No fillers. Trevor Rabin, even not being Steve Howe, did a great job not only on guitars, but also on vocals. My favorite track in the album is Changes, a masterpiece. I have this album on CD and on original 1983 vinyl record.
Hi Rafael, I completely agree. It utterly blew me away back in 1983, and was for a while my favourite Yes album. The original still sounds great today, but this new version sounds better than ever!
I have nothing to compare it to, but yesterday I cracked mine open and I was just flabbergasted at the sound. It's like the band is with me. Amazing.
It really is, thanks for the feedback Wilson.
I can’t wait to hear the vital Yes Atlantic 75 records. Shame they miss Going for the One for this one. The Yes Album is right around the corner
90125’d. Leave it
Totally agree about Going For The One. I did speak to Chad about that and he said it was because there was no natural break in Awaken, so couldn't do a 45rpm version. I absolutely love GFTO (especially Awaken) but it is a bright recording, I'd love to see that it remixed / remastered...
Thanks Dave. I received my copy a few days ago. I got the same impression when I listened to Changes the first time. That is really as close as you can get to a master tape. Unbelievable. Waiting for the The Yes Album to be released next week.
Me too. The Yes Album is one of my absolute favourites, my UK original sounds fab, and I can't wait to hear the new Atlantic 75.
Have always loved this album and everything Trevor Rabin brought to the band. Still plays great for me. The songs are there.
Thanks for the feedback Bruce.
Another thorough, detailed comparison between two stellar releases of this iconic album. Each of the releases unveils different aspect of greatness when it comes to this decade defining recording.
It would have been a unique opportunity to hear some trivia from the recording sessions from Mr Stuart Bruce. Even more interesting would be to hear his take on the master recording, compared to the vinyl issues that you discussed here.
Thanks for another great video and keep up the good work whenever you find spare time.
Thanks for the feedback Radovan. I will try and get Stuart onto the channel again.
I was 17 years old when I bought this when released in ‘83 and is still in my top 5 albums of all time to this day.When I saw Atlantic records were releasing this I had to get a copy which I did but was so blown away I actually bought a second copy both for my own private record collection.What I did notice was that my first copy was numbered on the back cover but my second copy had not been numbered.Was your copy numbered?Can you shed light on this?Great video by the way and thank you.
Hi Neil, thanks for the great feedback.
I’m not 100% certain on this, but I think the first 2000 were numbered and only sold direct from Acoustic Sounds. If you buy a later run, or from a reseller they’re not numbered.
However I must stress. I’m not 100% certain of this.
Thanks for the reply Dave and I think you are probably right👍
I saw them in Edmonton when they were filming the 8912live videos.Think ill buy this album.
Thanks for the feedback David: you've jogged my memory: I must get 90125 Live as it's one of the very few Yes albums I don't have on vinyl.
Fantastic review Dave! Totally agree felt I was listening to a master tape especially with Changes! A phenomenal release.
Thanks for the feedback Babar Khan.
Excellent as always! 😁 I was a bit worried about you, I THINK I left a detailed comment and I think a question, I don't remember, on your 'last'? video and you are always so kind to leave comments in reply, and was hoping that everything was alright with you and yours. So, good to see you going strong and giving another most helpful and great review of this important album!
Thanks so much for the feedback, and concern. I don’t always see replies, to be honest, but thanks again anyway 🙏
Great video, Dave! I have been good at minimizing purchases this year, and held off on 90125 to date. That will change after your video! Thank you as always for pointing out WHAT exactly it is that you like better about the AP 75 reissue. I have goosebumps just thinking about the harmonies of the vocals in “master tape” quality!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks Jeff!
Trevor Rabin was a refreshing change which totally altered the sound Yes. 'Cinema' won a Grammy for best instrumental song. You'll never see that again considering the direction of a failing Grammy and failing music now. Trevor Rabins solo album 'Don't Look Away' would be an excellent re-issue on vinyl. Great reviews Dave. For sure try to get your engineering buddy in for a discussion!
Hi Daniel, thanks for the feedback. It's not that I don't like Trevor Rabin, but I do really love that 'classic period Yes'.... I totally agree that out of all of my favourite 70s bands, Yes handled the 1980s most successfully (in my opinion, I'm really not an Abacab / We Can't Dance fan). For sure I loved 90125 when it came out and this new version rekindles and improves upon that very effectively indeed.
Mirror to the Sky is a really good record.
Haha! That's been sat in my 'in pile' since the day of release. I will get around to playing it.
great review. were you using an ultrasonic cleaner n the background? Me and my dog can hear it ha!
Hi Marek, Thanks for the feedback. That was actually my fridge, which has recently developed an intermittent fault which results in a high pitched noise.
Thank you for pointing this out! I thought the alarm on my battery backup for the sump pump in the crawl space was going off. Same tone.
directly after 90125 was big generator thanks for your vids Anthony
Glad you’re enjoying my videos Anthony.
Thanks for another thorough analysis. I have the AP75 Fragile and CTTE on order but always felt that, although Trevor Horn breathed his production and commercial magic over the b(r)and, this was a completely different type of music. Added to that my original pressing had, what I felt, was an almost CD ish harshness to the sound which tested my patience. I guess I'll just have to shell out £75 after all, if it is that good.
Hi Ian, this still sounds very eighties / Trevor Horn, but it is more open, breathes more, has more subtle tonality, natural timbre, and dynamic range than the original. It's still on the forward side if you know what I mean.
I wish they'd do Going For The One (they won't, I have asked): one of my favourite Yes albums of all time but an overly bright recording IMO.
Hello Dave,
Wanted to tell you about an interesting video I noticed, involving reel to reel tape machines, on CZcams.
It’s posted by Canadian Vintage Radio Society and titled “Restoration RCA Transcription Broadcast Turntable”.
Just in case that you hadn’t seen this must have accessory.
Hi Michael, just watched it. That tape playing turntable add-on is very cool.
I do in fact have quite a few acoustic (wind-up) gramophones, and an Edison phonograph (cylinder player).
I find the history and development of recording and reproduction fascinating.
Thanks for the pointer.
wow, quite a collection.
If you don’t already have one, another antique you should have is the Sony CDP-101.
After I knew this one is coming out from A.P. I did listen to the album and really liked it, bought it immediately when it came out in germany last week, love the album, love the sound, fantastic.
Then I did listen to the entire catalog and I have to say, YES is really not my thing and the 90125 is the only one of them I really like, maybe I would buy BigGenerator and Union too but not for a heavy A.P. price. I´m ok with a good org pressing.
Thanks for the feedback.
I’ll be listening to my copy this evening. Bob Ludwig mastered Rush’s “Moving Pictures” and when I heard Sean Magee’s cut of Moving Pictures, it was like experiencing that album for the first time after hearing it hundreds of times.
No disrespect to Bob Ludwig, his Zeppelin II is epic. Ludwig did use compression in his mastering chain that could cause some nuances and details in the mixes to be lost.
I can’t say the Ludwig cut of Moving Pictures sounds bad at all. But the Magee cut was just so… revealing.
I am thinking I’m going to be in for a similar treat when I spin the new cut of 90125.
Great review!
Hi David, I'm not sure there was anyone much better than Bob Ludwig, back in those days. Moving Pictures was another 'prog into the 80s' epic. Perhaps, given the benefit of hindsight, even more of an epic than 90125...
Hi Dave I have a favour to ask about setting up a turntable and not sure how to contact you?
A very interesting comparison. I just got mine yesterday and have not listened to it yet. I have the cd and the RL pressing. The cd to me never sounded good but the record has a great energy to it. Please try to get your friend to join you. It would be fascinating to hear his thoughts comparing what he heard coming off the console to these two pressings.
Thanks Nicholas, I'll certainly try and get Stuart on the channel.
If I was limited to one title from the Atlantic 75 series, it would have been this title! I absolutely love 90125 and I was a huge fan of Drama as well. When Drama was released I was 16 or 17 years old, an impressionable era so the titles Drama, 90125 and Big Generator were big favourites of mine. Of course I came to completely enjoy the older Yes titles, Fragile, The Yes Album but I was too young to be into that sound at 7/8 years old in 1971. I had some woeful copies of 90125 and I was so glad that AP put out this title. It is the definitive version, even though it was from a copy of the original master. Great job by Chad and team and I enjoyed your review.
You'll remember Yesshows too then? That record also blew my mind.
What is that screeching in the background? It starts at 8:55
Hi Andrew, Sorry about that: it's my elderly refrigerator, I do need to get t fixed...
Good video. But there is a high pitched squeal during the video. Do you know what is causing that?
I didn’t notice at the time, it’s my fridge that was squealing.
Always found Yes albums badly produced and this KG mastering a good opportunity, a bit expensive, but still a must have
Thanks for your comments Yaniv.
Dave, please do try to get Stuart that would be a fantastic interview I would love to hear.
I will try, thanks for the feedback.
41 years later isn't it a bit late to be nitpicking at 90125? It's as if you didn't know what you were getting.
The fact that the new version sounds even better is quite relevant, methinks...
Big Generator was a better album than this one. Way more melodic and a better sounding album sonically.
Thanks for the feedback Chris, I never really got into Big Generator, but will definitely give it another chance.
