Having enjoyed the new vinyl release of Tormato, I picked up the "new GFTO" release as well.
This is also released by Friday Music, and the claim is that it has been remastered from the original tapes. I'm not sure of any sonic benefit over the original record (my old vinyl GFTO was somewhat abused in the 70's), but it does sound better than the CD's I have.
The gatefold is a perfect replica of the original. I think they may have touched up the inside photos a bit to brighten them a little and sharpen the colors. Either that, or my original copy was left open in the light for some time.
One difference related to this release: this record is a blue translucent vinyl which is very cool.
Since they started offering these vinyl re-issues a few years ago, the only vinyl item I've not bothered to pick up is Open Your Eyes. ACtually - I see that "In the City of Angels is also available and I think I will skip that as well.
I would really like to see a vinyl Olias come out as my copy is not playable. Amazing package that that one had. And I am really wishing for them to put out Yessongs some day.
