When I knew this Yes -90125 was out for release I bought two copies both for my own private vinyl collection.

[@graemeferdinands5856]

Thank you for this review, Michael! I'm very excited now to get my copy of '90125'!! I can't wait for 'Fragile' to be released! 👍

[@matt5721]

Go Steve Wilson remix instead

[@GiovanniGalvagno]

The title was the catalogue number at first, but then the company changed it. The title remained because Chris Squire liked it that way and not the catalogue number the record was actually issued with.

[@oldschool1607]

I got my 45rpm YES yesterday… Wow, a brilliant made and perfectly pressed version with an impressing sound. Just great 😍

[@jodygoeler586]

Thanks, Michael. I was on the fence with this Yes release. A little too much Owner of a Lonely Heart on the radio back in the day. The Atlantic series has been so good, your review pushed me off the fence, and I’ll give it a shot. Thank you.

[@carlhanstke4287]

Thanks Michael you just convinced me to buy the YES album. By the way they pronounce the title “ nine oh one two five”. As always thank you for your reviews.

[@keeferdog5617]

“YES”!

[@LifelongMusicJunkie]

I cannot wait for my copy of 90125 to arrive this coming week. This was the first title I planned to order when the Atlantic 75 series was announced! During the Fragile/Yes Album/Close to the Edge era, I was only 8 and 9 yrs old, so it was Drama in 1980 (at my 17 yrs old) and then 90125 in 1983 as a 20 yr old, that turned me onto Yes and it remains my fave Yes album! I have come to love Fragile and that era (University dorms in 1980!), but 90125 is so amazing. Like you, it was hard to find a good sounding copy, so I have huge expectations for this title! I cannot wait! Cheers

Just discovered your channel keep up the excellent work.

[@liammolyneuxmusic]

Fantastic Michael so happy you enjoyed the album. Hold on & It Can Happen are killer tracks. Leave It amazing vocal harmonies. I know this record like the back of my hand & cannot wait for my copy to arrive. Analogue Productions take another bow. Unbelievable the work going into these reissues. Personally can’t believe it that we are talking about Yes albums getting the ultimate treatment in AP 75 reissue series. The Yes Album coming next month can it get any better. The Joe Walsh love it. I was about to pull the trigger then I listened to my Uk Og. Wow the original sounds incredible a bit like the original Bad Company. I’m pretty sure AP at least matches it and betters it. Don’t go to sleep on the Og . Best thing is to have both. Michael as always hope you’re well ✊

[@Boatzerama]

I was listening to Joe Walsh solo albums in the late 70’s and I stay in Aberdeen Scotland, so I was aware.

[@wronghandshooter]

Very informative reviews as always

[@darkspectacles]

The original 90125 was not a gatefold, no? I have the Japanese mini-lp sleeve and it isn’t.

[@joaquinherreroalvarez3454]

Ok, Michael. Thanks so much, Chad Kassen for those albums of John Coltrane: I hope his "Coltrane's sounds". Michael, my friend, you have contact with Zev Feldman (Resonance/Elemental Records): could you have a suggestion him? A new "repress" in vinyl of "Some other time" by Bill Evans, please. Thanks, Michael, from Madrid, Spain.

[@91pastor]

Michael, the original Japanese Yes 90125 has MASTERDISK RL in the deadwax. It has stunning, black silences and superb sound. I got it for €20 about two years ago.

[@Patraquashe]

Absolutely fantastic album. As you say, the drums on Hold On are mind blowing. Might pick this one up even if I really like my original pressing.

[@styles8007]

I received my copy of Yes 90125 last week. From the first drop of the needle " Owner of a Lonely Heart " smacked me right in the face. This, by far, is the best sounding version ever released. Thank you for sharing this treasure piece of music. Cheers from Indiana. By the way just curious how is analog productions going to be able to release " Close to the Edge " track at 45rpm? Alot of material for one side of music?

[@Daniel-hk3ru]

The Atlantic 75 Series - quality is best described as Consistently Outstanding ! This "Yes" and "Coltrane" records as you explained eloquently are great acheivments in audio quality !

[@highfell1]

Michael - not sure why you couldn’t have compared with an original pressing of 90125- on discogs there are loads of NM copies shipping from Germany with RL lacquers that are “cheap as chips”. The drums on the original pressing that I have also sound very very good on Hold on. I am waiting on my copy of the new AP pressing with anticipation

[@mikaelboyesrensen8477]

Halløj I miss your reviews of new “normal” releases of music. Vinyl i Can afford to buy. Hope that come back to the channel. Enjoy to Watch your channel. A positive thing in a world of troubled times

[@CANKRAFTWERK]

The name of the channels Michael 45 not Michael normal pressings

[@joergi69]

Thx to Trevor Horn & Trevor Rabin 🎉👍🏻

[@mariobianchini7478]

That is to pop oriented. Wait to you hear the Yes Album and their Masterpiece Close to the Edge.

[@vinylwood]

Not sure about Germany and other EU countries but in North America and Britain we call that Yes album 9 O 1 2 5 not 90 125. Perhaps it's different there for European Yes fans.

[@preservedmoose]

I have a copy of the Coltrane album by ORG on 45rpm, mastered by BG. I wonder how they compare? As for the Joe Walsh, I listened to my 33rpm AP version last week, mastered by KG, and it is superb. I don’t know if going for the 45rpm makes sense or not.

[@margroningen]

Excellent video, as usual :) I wonder if they consider to reissue other Joe Walsh albums as well. I own two original (one still sealed) US pressings for But, Seriously Folks..., and pressings of that album - even some recent reissues - are widely available in perfect condition. This in general seems not to be the case for albums like So What, You Can't Argue With A Sick Mind and Barnstorm. I do hope they will be part of a future reissue campaign (which are the rumors). In my opinion, Joe Walsh his solo output is a bit underrated, maybe overshadowed by his work with the James Gang and the Eagles. But especially his 70s work, is top notch to say the least. Hopefully this beautiful Smoker reissue will be the start of many things to come. ~Marjet

[@henrikduende]

Where do you find these 45s? I live in Sweden and nobody sell them.

[@Michael45RPM]

just click on the link in the videodescription

[@Big-J-8579]

Would love the repress of 90125 but will only buy it if it was pressed at 33 rpm. I have no patience with 45 rpm pressings anymore.

[@darcyska]

90125 is one of the Yes albums that I think gets overlooked on the production side, people thinking there isn't a lot of depth there. I feel there is any it really is a good record to give active listening to.

[@revelry1969]

My OG sounds amazing. I don’t think we needed 45rpm release. OG are readily available in US

[@fheller347]

What happened to the John Coltrane: OLE release? I think it will not be released because of the 18 minute first track?

[@ranlit7717]

Just curious, is there an explicit list of all albums in this series?

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

Awesome Video! Joe Walsh isn't considered Southern Rock though.

[@pitfisch1]

Wann kommt endlich die Aja als 7-Fach-Schuber, auf 78rpm/single sided? Der Preis wird dann zwar bei ~€5k liegen. Aber was man da dann so alles hören könnte ...

[@CANKRAFTWERK]

Hätte ich wirklich gerne!

[@bonesjackson81]

AP is laying waste to all specialty pressings. And a hell of a lot cheaper! Not to mention the tanks they're shipped in. Hats off to Chad and company 👏 As for 90125 Changes has become my favorite over the years. It Can Happen not far behind. Great album.

[@77MovieFan]

I will buy it in some hours at Basementfortyfive Did listen to ALL Yes albums and for sure this is the best, I only would buy Big-Generator and maybe Union from Yes, the rest is not my thing

[@electronicsinfonies]

On CD i like it much more. It sounds in my opinion better then on vinyl (i have the original from my youth time here).

[@jackiepuppet9289]

I have US RL and may like that better. It’s close but I don’t think the AP is leaps and bounds better

[@jeffreythurston1822]

I was so excited to get this release of 90125. One of my favorite 80’s album. Unfortunately I was disappointed in the sonics. It sounded harsh and way too forward to me.

[@MrJasonMeans]

I assume you have super low number. I’m number 414. Do you think there is a big difference between 400?

[@anthonyburke223]

No.

[@anthonyburke223]

That Coltrane plays the blues cover is a beautiful piece of art

[@michaelgreene5703]

joe walsh southern rock?

[@michaelgreene5703]

proG rock

[@Willthelistener]

Mildly disappointed with the packaging of Plays The Blues - would have been nice to have had the originals laminated cover reproduced and the white fan label of the first pressing. Otherwise pretty damn good IMO.

[@michaelgreene5703]

not really very proggy

[@laurentcousin2051]

Yes… IMO it’s just one of the worst band ever. If RKS or BG would remaster a fart in a trumpet some audiophile would find it so wonderful. In the other hand I’ll definitely get the Coltrane.

[@Breathless999]

'Worst band ever...' I like this kind of definitive and mindless statement. But 90125 was obviously not the best choice to start this serie. IMHO it is one 'of the worst Yes album ever', to quote your rethoric. But just my opinion. Hope those who like this kind of Prog-FM will enjoy it.
