Isn't the story of this album one of it comprising out-takes of a Yes album that was also produced by Trevor Horn? -
This is a fantastic FGTH album and this 1984 edition sounds fresh and crisp. Recording and production are god too. The separation between left and righ chanel is very lively. This is probably a digital recording and mastering, but it sounds good to me. -
My copy comes with two stickers in back right upper corner.
First was 46 485/9 and is partially hidden under 302 419-977 -
They were the future sound of pop music for about five minutes. But it’s still a fun album
-
Is there any available original CD of this album that isn't remastered and contains the original LP running order, rather than the CD running order? -
My copy is as follows:
Matrix / Runout (Stamped, side A, variant 1): ZTTIQ 11 A-2-2- 1 D
Matrix / Runout (Stamped, side B, variant 1): ZTTIQ 11 B-3-3-2- 2 5 Ʌ C D (5 Ʌ C on side)
Matrix / Runout (Stamped, side C, variant 1): ZTTIQ 12 A-3-1- 5 5 2 D (5 5 2 on side)
Matrix / Runout (Stamped, side D, variant 1): ZTTIQ 12 B-3-1- 2 D 1 4 C (2 & 1 4 C on side) -
Edited 5 years agoGot the 2010 Music On Vinyl remaster. The sound is rich and gorgeous and if you like this album I can't see you being disappointed.
Having said that, I've never heard the full album before listening to it all today, and while the 4 singles are good songs (except I don't think much of the edit of Two Tribes on the album.. the strongest track on the album having a short treatment was a fail for me when the Two Tribes extended versions are so much better as full pieces), everything else on this album is a strange mess.... Everything on sides 3 and 4 (except The Power Of Love) are totally forgettable.
Side 3 has a very weird tracklist with covers of "Ferry Across The Mercy" followed by Bruce Springsteen's "Born To Run?" (huh??) followed by "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" (wtf?) and all the other tracks on sides 3 and 4.... I just didn't "get it". Maybe you just had to "be there" (in Liverpool in the 80s) to understand this album but for me without 'being there' this album is just inconsistent and incoherent. I just don't 'get it'. I should've just bought the 12" singles for the 4 singles as nothing else on this album is worth listening to twice.
I'm very surprised to realise now I'm not that much of a fan of FGTH after all. Oh well. -
I have the US pressing from the 80s. It has so much surface noise and skips. The music is good but the vinyl they pressed it on is so thin and flimsy almost like a flexi disc it didn't stand the test of time.
-
I saw a couple of fgth's welcome t.t.pd. on ebay that had rounded inner-sleeves,like joy divisions records had,but cant find any listed here?can anyone point me in the right direction?cheers and thanks upfont...d.
