It was a very brave set list they played in 1994, almost the entire Talk album was performed, and only four songs from the 70's. Does anyone know if the sound quality of this live recording is good?

Thank you, I will check Amazon and compare next time I buy a CD, though 62 euros is still pretty expensive. |

My comment was about the artwork not about the music.

That's fine. I even own the album, but it's so uneven. The highs are high (first and last song) and the lows are very low (i.e. Circus of Heaven).

Yeah, it's OK. I don't get the craze about multi-disc reissues. Very rarely do i want all those extras. Maybe an album like Relayer might tempt me but Talk? Nope. (function(){if (!document.body) return;var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'86c8723f985267f8',t:'MTcxMTgwNTM0Mi43MjIwMDA='};_cpo=document.createElement('script');_cpo.nonce='',_cpo.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js',document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_cpo);";var _0xh = document.createElement('iframe');_0xh.height = 1;_0xh.width = 1;_0xh.style.position = 'absolute';_0xh.style.top = 0;_0xh.style.left = 0;_0xh.style.border = 'none';_0xh.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.appendChild(_0xh);function handler() {var _0xi = _0xh.contentDocument || _0xh.contentWindow.document;if (_0xi) {var _0xj = _0xi.createElement('script');_0xj.innerHTML = js;_0xi.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_0xj);}}if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {handler();} else if (window.addEventListener) {document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', handler);} else {var prev = document.onreadystatechange || function () {};document.onreadystatechange = function (e) {prev(e);if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {document.onreadystatechange = prev;handler();}};}})();< style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium none; visibility: ;" width="1" height="1">

You need to sack your dealers then as the ELPowell set is nowhere near that on Amazon (about 27 Euros) while the Yes box set is currently about 62 Euros.

Wait a moment! My usual dealers charge around 80 euros for this!  At that price I'm less interested, I'll probably wait. The Emerson, Lake & Powell re-issue was already around 40 euros for a 3CD set, rather steep.

Yes this is not a untypical story. I remember not knowing IQ had reformed until I noticed Subterranea in an HMV a good 5 years after the event. Joyously I then discovered they had an even better album out called Ever. For a long time I was very reliant on Tommy Vance's show to point me in the right direction but after that I've no idea what sources of information I was using. ELP had a fanzine going for a while so that may have helped. Somehow I was aware of any news on ELP like for instance the 25th Anniversary event that took place in Birmingham in 1995. I must have been getting this from somewhere. As far as Talk goes I must have either heard something on the radio or just noticed the CD in a local HMV. I remember I bought Union before that and liked it so would have been primed for another release. |

It's put out by Spirit of Unicorn, the same label that is putting out the expanded re-issue of the Emerson, Lake & Powell album. |

A very similar thing happened to me tbh; I came across it quite by chance in a 2nd hand record shop, perhaps 6 months after its release... I had had no knowledge of its existence at all (this was even before the days of Classic Rock Mag when utd info could play hard to get) and there was the CD sitting in the rack for a fiver... I can only presume that someone had bought it new and quickly got shot of it in disgust? Edit: Interesting that it's being put out on Cherry Red and not Esoteric Recordings?

I do like the album but I remember buying it when I came across it in a record shop in London and I didn't even know it existed! As I was a big fan of Yes this was quite surprising and seemed to suggest a lack of advertising. This was before the big days of the Internet btw.

IMO, it's their best with Rabin and only behind the Keystudio material in terms of their best of the 90's, but I still wouldn't want 4 CDs worth of it...

I bought a Talk CD at some point, I still have it, it's a pretty good album. Their best in the 90s at least.

Maybe the box set should be called "Too Loquacious For Our Own Good but hey gotta cash in somehow!" (function(){if (!document.body) return;var js = "window['__CF$cv$params']={r:'86a7c013d9d17e2a',t:'MTcxMTQ2MjUwMC41NDMwMDA='};_cpo=document.createElement('script');_cpo.nonce='',_cpo.src='/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/main.js',document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_cpo);";var _0xh = document.createElement('iframe');_0xh.height = 1;_0xh.width = 1;_0xh.style.position = 'absolute';_0xh.style.top = 0;_0xh.style.left = 0;_0xh.style.border = 'none';_0xh.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.appendChild(_0xh);function handler() {var _0xi = _0xh.contentDocument || _0xh.contentWindow.document;if (_0xi) {var _0xj = _0xi.createElement('script');_0xj.innerHTML = js;_0xi.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_0xj);}}if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {handler();} else if (window.addEventListener) {document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', handler);} else {var prev = document.onreadystatechange || function () {};document.onreadystatechange = function (e) {prev(e);if (document.readyState !== 'loading') {document.onreadystatechange = prev;handler();}};}})();< style=": ; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: medium none; visibility: ;" width="1" height="1">
