JohnJ Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 @Full Range Wow! the holy grail of vinyl almost! Or is it a half-speed too. I have a couple of cds that are "Made in Japan" some with the obi some not, they are noticeably better sounding than other copies! Enjoy the trip! 1 Quote

No it’s not half speed Not sure if they had half speed in 1976 But I played the LP 3 times and the title song 5 times Now I’m happy 😃 3 Quote

Won't forget we had those exact same issues with that title pressed by fri music. It would be nice to have mine on lp again but the disc I have is pretty darn good for this Yes fan. Discogs has that in NM condition "complete" for $54 shipped from my country. Not for me today though. 3 Quote

The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, it seems And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above Ah, ah Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley Called to witness cycles only of the past And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark Close to the edge, down by the river Down at the end, round by the corner Seasons will pass you by Now that it's all over and done Called to the seed, right to the sun Now that you find, now that you're whole Seasons will pass you by I get up, I get down I get up, I get down I get up, I get down I get up 4 Quote
Full Range Posted August 5, 2019 Author Posted August 5, 2019 Let’s continue with the good times with more Prog from YES I believe this text was inside the booklet Five tracks of this album are the individual ideas, personally arranged and organised, by the five members of the Band. "Cans And Brahms" is an adaptation by Rick Wakeman on which he plays electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano taking the part of the woodwind, organ taking the brass, electric harpsichord taking reeds, and synthesizer taking contra bassoon. "We Have Heaven" is a personal idea by Jon Anderson in which he sings all the vocal parts. "Five Per Cent For Nothing" is a sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the Group, and taken directly from the percussion line. In Chris Squire's "The Fish", each riff, rhythm, and melody is produced by using the different sounds of the bass guitar. Steve Howe concludes with a solo guitar piece "Mood For A Day" The remaining tracks on the album are Group arranged and performed. Artist - Yes Title - Fragile This LP is a 1971 first press Australian release SD7211 5 Quote

JohnJ Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Finally got a copy of one I had back in the day. But..... a great song, the great song on this record that has a quiet start has a minute blemish. When played it sound like a scratch through about ten revolutions. A brand new sealed copy is what it looked like. The rest of it is as it should be & this was their only copy. What say you? 3 Quote
