They did a superb job on "Tales" as far as cleaning it up and adding parts
that were taken out like the longer intro on "Revealing". Some of the
bonus material is interesting, especially on Drama and Tormato.

I have remastered Fragile, CTTE and Relayer, and the sound quality is
superb. Unfortunately, I have nothing to compare to but they sound
better than most of the original 70's albums I own.

Thumbs up from over here. The Tales classic cover has been thankfully reinstated and the bonus tracks, well, aren't very remarkable, but the mini-LP packaging is just so awesome!!!

Are those the ones with the cardboard cases?

Because if it is, I have the CTTE one, and it's excellent. It's good to have the extra tracks too.

For sure they're worth getting: Theyre cheap, and they sound superb.

The "bonus" tracks though are somewhat dispensible (on the classic albums), but as someone mentioned, "drama" has 10 bonus tracks. Get EM!!

The re-remaster only worth for its packaging. Awesome. But the sound quality only "Tales" that improved. The rest are the same. I purchased all because of pacakaging but maintain the original CD for regular spinning (better sound, especially RELAYER).

I have the re-mastered versions of the Yes Album through Going for the One. All sound great. Better than the LPs I had but I did not have the best of equipment in those days when I listened to LPs. These days I do not play my LPs at all and do
