Very nice, this one. Was spinning it just last night. The De Agostini reissue was good (and possibly even better pressed), but this one sounds better still.

Thank you, I did my novice research. Hope it pays off when I can check the quality of some of the pre owned records.

A truly wonderful record, and a great cut (KPG) and pressing (Pallas) too. I really hope that they reissue Donny’s second album some time, with the sublime “Giving Up”.

I was searching that one as well and not finding much result. A song for you being my quest.
Will be listening to this tonight, can’t wait. Have quite a few albums from Yes over the years but never bought Fragile until now

Thank you, I have been trying to make a list beforehand and buy according to want priority and availability. I am very satisfied with the result so far! There are still some purchases on preorder.
Cleaning: Have been trying a knosti antistat lately, but that doesn’t agree with me. It feels too much like doing the dishes and am not so sure about the residue scraping away on my stylus. The Pro-ject is high on my list, but my dealer (who sells Pro-ject) is not a fan of the build quality and prefers selling Watson. I’ll buy either one this summer as a birthday gift…to me…
