Yes - Fragile

Another appearance. This is a Japanese pressing from 1976. Apart from it being a perfect pressing (I'm sure there are some bad Japanese pressings, but...), it has a much larger soundstage than some contemporary remasters...maybe due to high frequency losses, even if minor, over the years.

Hard to believe they recorded this and The Yes Album in 1971 (Fragile was recorded in six weeks during a break in touring), and then Close to the Edge the very next year.

nostr:npub1fq5n4rmpw4utt792v8fhv4cp8rmg79fyqlcdws9kxeaq5pkjwcysaep8du the title of the album in Japanese comes across with a nuance of possibly already being “broken” but the phrase “kowaremono” is often used to label packages with fragile items 📦

nostr:npub1alhd0rux3z43ukzlazy6s5rqnqqh64zf23t8u5n8caxtpf74qh8qka3sw3 I think the album cover kind of suggests the same thing - a potentially broken world. (Although I don't think that's the theme of the album...)
