Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973) (HDCD Remaster 2001)
Part of the 'Yes Original Jacket Series'. Japanese limited edition HDCD remastered reissue of 1974 album, packaged in a miniature LP sleeve.
The Yes albums from Yes to Big Generator have all been remastered in HDCD format and released in Japan in reproduction mini-LP cardboard sleeves. These are different remasters to the previous remaster series released worldwide and are recognisably distinct in sound (and you do not need an HDCD-compatible player to hear the differences). It is a matter of taste whether you will prefer the Japanese remaster or the earlier remaster for each release, but general opinion favours the Japanese versions of The Yes Album, Yessongs, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Relayer,Drama, 90125 and Big Generator.
For those who love this album, the recent Japanese issued HDCD version is just what the doctor ordered. Finally, the veil of muddiness (especially in the drum/percussion department) is lifted to a large degree. While not "crystalline", the production/sound is as good as it has ever been offered to the buyer of this album. It easily surpasses the sound quality of the 1994 remaster. A bit pricey ... but if you _love_ this album, like I do, consider buying this Japanese HDCD version. It's the best quality (presently) version of this much maligned album...M. Hicks
