MOFI Yes "Fragile" UD1S (One-Step, Supervinyl)

I’ve had this now for awhile and have had a chance to listen to it several times through.

Another home run for Mobile Fidelity. Definitely in my top 5 of the UD1S releases, (which I have all of them).

"Roundabout" has always been one of my favorite songs, (top 10 for sure). Here, it is exquisite! Lush, open, dynamic and just hypnotic. Oh, and the rest of the album is just as good. Clean, QUIET surfaces with a wonderful black background!

Of course, excellent packaging and presentation like all of the UD1S reissues.

Highly recommended...expensive I know, but to me, well worth it.

Cost of admission for a period,MINT Yes Fragile "stamper" makes the reissue seem like a bargain.

I haven't heard any of those "super reissues" so I'm not qualified to comment on what's more convincing.

I'm one of those who buy a period copy of something until I find "the one"

I've been fortunate to find a stellar US copy for cheap.

FRAGIL,45RPM===Amazing...
I never heard an album sound so good.
It is sad that EVERY album that we have couldn't sound like this.

The best way for me to describe:   it's like you melded your sound system with the best set of Grado headphones.

$125 is way out of my play money range for an album unfortunately no matter how good it might be.

Even with my stimulus money.... lol

They are expensive, but so far, (I have all of them) they are in the top 1% of the best pieces of vinyl I own.

The new Mingus is spectacular too...
