    Fine album, doesn't sound bad at all. Treble is good, bass is a bit quiet, and mids could be reduced. Not worth it if you pay above 10 euros, as I did. Bought in VG condition, has significant inner groove distortion.

      Just wet cleaned and played my 44 yo copy. I when this came out and as a huge Yes fan I was less than impressed. This has aged well. Thin pressing but very detailed.

              The markings on my copy are slightly different.
              Side A:

              ST-A-80452-C + + ATB-1528 F.T. STRAWBERRY (stamped), ('o' or a 'u' - a crude strawberry maybe?)////T

              Side B:

              B-1527 ST-A-80451-A-2-+ AT FT AR STRAWBERRY (stamped) Sean (in cursive).

              Great sounding LP. Look for something similar in the deadwax. Strawberry pressings are hit and miss. This one is great.
              Everything hand etched except for the Strawberry mark. I like to guess what things might mean to things. FT - first transfer? AT for - Atlantic or Atlantic Records? Some of that if deciphered might give a clue which Strawberry pressings are the better ones.
