HOT Stamper...Im a believer ....

I recently picked up a mint copy of YES Fragile...immaculate cover, clean, virtually unplayed vinyl...and two indicators that this was a special pressing...the center hole was unusually tight....and the outer rim of the lp was very sharp...as if straight off the lacquer...and the sound...is truly breathtaking in a full 3d way... price: 5 bones!

On YES Fragile, you're going to be AMAZED at how much better a UK pressed "plum" label 1st edition is going to sound.. none of that harsh spitty USA atlantic label sound.

Granted...never been an Atlantic sound guy...but for different reasons...often murky sounding...but they got Fragile right in this instance...at least on my copy!...

Looks like mine is a mid 70s reissue with K prefix matrix...mastered by George Piros...evidently same plates as Plum pressings...needless to say...Im very happy!
