Bot all 3 Mag bonus track versions
MartyB
(going in with 2 other fans, BTW). Prices here in Houston ranged from
$12.99 at Best Buy to $18.99 at FYE (no wonder I never shop there).
Average price - $15.99.
All 3 CDs come in slimline 2CD cases, with a similar looking sticker
on each one proclaiming the bonus CDs. All three stickers say the live
tracks are from the Masterworks tour, with no mention of orchestral
overdubbing - so it appears that the Best Buy ad was a misprint
(although I haven't had a chance to listen to any of the bouns CDs
yet).
Only Borders's had the CD in their "New Release" rack - Best Buy had
it in the "Yes" slot, while FYE had it displayed in the top rung of
the rack right above the "Yes" slot, which gave it just a bit more
promotion.
BTW, I saw only one other Yesfan at any of these stores ("Hey Mike!)
buying these.

>on each one proclaiming the bonus CDs.
Yeah, they placed the sticker right over the already too small Yes logo! I
noticed later that the sticker has a light grey Dean logo as a background for
the Bonus CD info. It might as well be invisible. The band might as well be
Spinal Tap. Yet another brilliant marketing job by Beyond. In addition to the
poor sticker placement, Mag does not have a prominent display in the new
release section at Best Buy (at least in my locale). It makes me wonder why
they even bothered with the bonus disc.

Exactly the same thing in the Framingham MA Best Buy that I just
visited...although at least Mag was displayed in the front of several bins all
in a row. The light grey Dean logo...wow...I'll have to look again to see if
mine even had that. Must be really invisible. DOH.
As to different bonuses in different retailers...there was nothing on the
sticker or outside packaging to tell the prospective buyer that it was a Best
Buy exclusive (although the flier did say something to that effect).
Still....one of the most ineffective looking marketing campaigns I have ever
seen. I hope it sells in spite of the amateur-hour marketing "blitz".

I bought the CD at Best Buy ($12.99).

The mix is nice and raw sounding...no evidence as far as I can tell of any
studio overdubs. And the mix is nicely done...you can actually hear everyone.

At 2:30 I went to the fye store and only found it in the yes rack. The store
had no display under new releases.
At Tower they had not even put it out yet.
At Best buy they too had yet to put it on sale.
I live in suburban NY and I can't believe how poor the promotion is.

CTTE at Borders (15.99) and Gates at Fry (14.99). All powerful if a bit

bits that Tom plays in between Jon's verses....sounds kind of cheesy..like a

Not sure what that comment supposed to mean - maybe we're dumb enuf Yesans
to buy _Mag.._ 3 times just for bonus tracks.
Well, maybe I'm dumb enuf, but this time I went in with three others who
were gonna buy the CD anyway and were sharing the bonus tracks on CDr.
"Ritual" and "Gates" sound great. Sounds to me like no studio overdubs -
there are some small flubs and Jon's voice sounds a little stetched in a few
spots. Also, no overdubbed orchestra (unlike what was advertised on the Best
Buy website). "CttE", as in every version I've heard since they resurrected
it in the 90's, is somewhat plodding, so it's my least fav bonus track.
MartyB
Tom Russell
now. It sounds pretty good. That is to say the mix is good It's played
too slow but the keyoards sound pretty good IMO.
As for location in the store. I could not find it at all. I looked in
all the new release displays and the Y section. I finally asked the
lady at the info booth and she pointed to it. Right there in the new
release section at the top of the stairs. You would never know it. As
others have reported, there is a label that covers the yes logo. The
ONLY way anyone will find this disk is if they already know about it
and ask for it.
I think I see what you mean about the cheesy keyboards now. The organ
solo after I get up I get down is kinda weak.

The bonus track mixes of the Holmdel material are completely different. I
just AB'd the new versions w/ the versions I recorded from the radio

definitely not an improvement. The rhythm section sounds bad. Gone is the
top end of Squire's bass and the snare has a horrible resonant 1 K thunk
that'll put your eye out if you turn it up. The keys seem to dissapear
when not soloing; things like the cool rhythmic organ heard on the FM
broadcast during the Gates choruses ("Choose and renounce...") are gone.
The guitar textures are sometimes nicely legible but mostly just loud and
dry. The whole thing just doesn't sit together. I can't imagine the group
signing off on these mixes. I suspect that they chose to let Beyond take
care of it while they tour.
I love Yes but I think this is another example of lack of oversight. They
need some kindly yet forceful authority figures like they had in Brian
Lane and Eddie Offord to keep the horses from wandering out of the barn.
Sigh. Back to the Holmdel FM CD's, which now seem to sound even better.
Btw/ so far, I detect no mix/mastering differences between the the US and

Bought two of them yesterday..the one at Best Buy was 12.99 and it was
NOT on the end racks or new releases...just in the Yes section...at
FYE it was $18.99 (ouch!) and also not in the new releases or end
sections...
A.
as you noted ($18.99, the same as most of the CDs I saw in the store, and not
even always new releases), and there was nothing in the "new releases" display,
just in the Yes bin.
$15.99 at Borders, but the CD wasn't in the Yes bin or anywhere else, so I had
to go to the help desk to find out whether the store got in its shipment. Turns
out their copies of "Mag" were sitting on a cart, still waiting to be filed--so
they were in the store, but not even out for sale. This was at 6 p.m...it
wasn't as if I had walked in to the store at opening time before they would
have had a chance to put the CD out for sale.
Then to Best Buy. $12.99, but the sticker said the bonus track was "Gates." An
apparent delivery mix-up, I guess, so I didn't buy it and I have yet to find
the "Ritual" disc. Did anybody else have trouble with the wrong bonus tracks
showing up at the wrong stores? By the way, no front-store placement for the
CD, and not even a single placement on any of the half-dozen or so "new
release" shelves located throughout the store. It was just in the Yes bin.
Oh, and the stickers on the shrinkwrap stupidly concealed the Dean Yes logo on
the cover completely.
Nice job, Beyond. THIS is the marketing blitz you planned that caused us to
wait three months for this album to be released here???

Great, meet me at Store One, I'll punch the holes, attach the booklets, pass

Any record store staff say anything we'll say "Back off metal nose, we're

"What you are holding in your hands is Magnification, the latest vintage
from Yes. Magnification has been aged in orchestral casks to deliver lush
flavor without the mush aftertaste. It's overtones of Howe hops combined
with Jon Anderson crystal malt create a delicate nose, while the addition
of Squire adds great legs to an already sweet mix. Finally, the clarity
is brilliant White in color. There is a noticable absence of fruitiness
on Spirit of Survival. The body is Soft as a Dove, while In the Presence
Of brings the recipe to a high level of intoxication. We know that you
will enjoy our product responsibly and in moderation. Should you find
yourself ordering Magnification by the case, you also might want to
order purple and black propeller beanies, batman costumes, and the odd
"honorary Yes promoter" T-shirt from the URL on our booklet. For a
limited time, each shirt comes with a free bonus pair of testicles."

I once had a manager who decided it would be amusing to share a joke with
the three people in his meeting. Two were male, I was the only female.
He said "I got shown this picture of a woman's rather ample chest, with
the caption: 'If you don't have any balls, you'd better have support."
Now...when people say things like this on the job, it pisses me off. It
mostly pisses me off because I am not free to razz them back the way they
deserve to be razzed without putting my own professionalism at risk. So,
unfortunately, I have to stomp off to HR and report them instead. It keeps
things nice and legal and prevents the cleaning personnel from having to
mop up the bloodstains which would otherwise eventually result.
On the other hand, when people say things like this on Usenet - especially
in a context of supreme ignorance...oh they are just SO much fair game
for the Savage Keyboard of Sonja.
Of course, if Mr. Berliant said he was sorry...but does he have the...

"Inflicted"? Hey, don't go knocking a childern's show whose cast included
Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby and Luis Alvarez. There was major
talent in there. I wonder if I'm the only one who remembers the network TV
