"Classic Yes" album question...

Xiekitchen, here is a photo of the actual 45 of these two live songs that accompanied the Classic Yes vinyl album. Just so people don't think I'm crazy...LOL!!!!!

...and here is the Wikipedia write-up of the album-

"Originally released as a single LP with a bonus 7-inch 33 1/3 RPM disc featuring live versions of "Roundabout" and "I've Seen All Good People" from 1978, everything has been compiled onto one handy CD. It was taken out of circulation by 2003."

Both these songs were originally on separate album releases. However, you can get both on Yes greatest hits cd. J & R music has this cd for $6.99.

Is it just my LP copy or is “Fragile” a horribly bright, lousy sounding recording?

Rebbi:
If you have the U.S. pressing, then yes, it's harsh and full of distortion. IF you can find a U.K. pressing on the original "plum" label U.K. atlantic, That is the pressing to get. Treble is now in balance with everything else, and overloaded harshness is markedly gone. These U.K. pressings of Fragile are hard to get though.
