    I've had a decent vinyl of this for years, but grabbed the original Columbia CD for a few bucks and ripped it with a de-emphasis filter and it sounds so much better than the "decent" vinyl.
    The whole album is really well recorded and that old CD has so much dynamic range. Pre-compression years.

    Almost a third of the way through this album...not sure if I agree that it is the #2 Prog Rock album of all time, as purported by whatever social media feed "list" I was reading a few weeks ago, but it is something that is definitely worth a listen.

    Edit: after 9/10 of the album, maybe that list is closer than expected? It's definitely climbing my list, but still not #2...nope.

    Finally snagged the SACD for this album, which has been a reference piece for me since my early vinyl days (I found a really clean old pressing at a thrift store back around 2005).
    This SACD was worth the spend. The old vinyl isn't far behind except in the quieter scenes.

    Those sure have shot up in price. Holy crikes! That title anywhere from $70 to more than $300. What's crazy is some still have unopened cardboard long boxes of Pink Floyd they're asking 3k for.
