They are average at best. I figured they would be higher!

maybe the group 'fudged' the figures.....

We need a surround mix of this one!

Yes - 90125



One of my favorite (oh the heresy!) Yes albums!

Amen! I know the Rabin era has its detractors (I love it as well as the 70's stuff), but you have to admit that that era of Yes is a prime candidate for surround. So many layers of keys, guitars and harmonies that could just sound amazing spread all around.

This one , along with Big Generator are 2 titles that decode magnificently in DPL II .

Oddly enough I cracked open my new copy of Miles Davis ESP.
Inside the disc was Bill Wither’s Greatest Hits
So I listened to that before sending the whole works back to Amazon

Does Jack Johnson have two very different album covers?
This one, with the car, doesn’t look familiar

Wikipedia, or course.
Should have been the first place I looked.
Wonder why they changed it. The second one looks.....generic

Now there's a distinctive cover!
