Atlantic remaster sound quality.

[tony1967]

I'm new to the forum, so apologies if this covers old ground....

I have the George Marino Relayer remaster, and the sound quality is so poor I find it unlistenable.
Specifically - it varies from a tinny, recorded at the end of a corridor sound, to a muddy mess, difficult to pick out individual instruments.

By comparison, from The Yes Album through to Tales... (all Joe Gastwirt) - no problem.

Is this a problem with this specific remaster, or did the album sound like this anyway? (This is the only version I have heard).

Relayer was always, let us say, sonically challenged, especially Gates of Delirium. The new Rhino remaster is much better but still not perfect. But I figure it’s not going to get any better even in 5.1 or whatever if the original sound source isn’t up to scratch it never will be
