These are excellent sounding audience recordings. This new title on Virtuoso is a remaster of Amity, which was a remaster of the three older titles. So, there is nothing new except maybe an improvement in sound quality. The bonus DVDR comes with the stickered versions sold in Tokyo and are not available to foreign buyers, unless you specifically ask for it. I compared the Amity release to the 3 older titles…could not find any improvements in sound. Let’s hope that the Virtuoso release will be a true upgrade in sound. I already ordered this new release. I am very curious about the bonus DVD-R! They throw in another bonus DVD-R called “Going For The One Studio Sessions”. This is announced as an major upgrade. You have to buy 2 titles to get the GFTO bonus. Concerning the March 9th show there are two sources on silver. The first is titled Hallelujeh on the Dirty 13 label and the other Virtuoso family ones mentioned above. The Hallelujeh title has the two final tracks (Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper)not on the Amity and Sirene titles. About 5-6 years ago I provided copies of my Hallelujeh and Close to the East titles to another Yes fan who spliced in the two missing songs to the end of the Sirene title as it was better quality. He had to speed correct the two missing songs as they were the wrong speed to match the Sirene title. He did an amazing job as the splice was seemless and the resultant two title mix was then vined out on the Yes fan forum Yesswap. If I was a betting man I would guess the new Virtuoso title is a copy of that fan made two source effort. Sorry the comment area are closed |
