    I wish they'd start with the SACD releases....

    Love the clear vinyl.

    About what I paid for my Thorens in 1973. Yikes!

    If it was Benefit I would be tempted, already own to many versions of Auqalung on Vinyl and CD already. I hear you on the 45 rpm's stop it already.

    I received the Steven Wilson remix last year for Xmas, and like it a lot. It's basically got a hard-bound album cover, with a 25pg color booklet inside with lots of vintage pics, narrative about the making of it, and of course lyrics pages.

    I have the Steve Wilson mix, sounds excellent to me, but I would have purchased the new UHQR if it wasn't 45rpm.

    The Steve Wilson mix is one of the few of Aqualungs I own and the reason I would sit this one out.

  • I also have the S W remix, sounds stellar to me.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Vinyl is high-maintenance enough already. Those 45's barely let you get settled before it's time to flip.

    With some belt-drive turntables, you have to physically move the belt on the motor's pulley to go between 33 & 45, and that can be a pain depending on configuration of where the pulley is located.

    I only have two 45rpms and while they do sound great, I won't be buying any more. I should not have to flip the record before I have even half finished my drink.
