It's nice of them to say PSB can't produce a "dud disc", but they've rated a few of them 2/5 stars
Nightlight isn't a 2/5 album, imo. Over-stuffed, maybe, but not a dud.
I'd love to hear the alternative album version 'Nightlight'...
Agree with you though.

Indeed. I too noticed the overly generous valuations for the Yes and Electric box sets..

thanks for posting the scans.
i have some of the items on the list,
but i'm sure the pricing is conservative on a lot of them.

John Coleman needs to find a new job.
That discography is poorly put together with a number of errors

Not to mention that the Can You Forgive Her? promo photo is captioned as being from 2003.

I agree completely with the short album reviews. Apart from Bilingual.
It is of course completely subjective, but I would have ratings for Release and Elysium the opposite way round (four for Release two for Elysium) an extra star on Bilingual, and a star off Introspective and Super.
And add another star to Very

Thanks for sharing.
The first issue of Record Collector I bought was #110 from October 1988 with a full PSB discography in.
That was when I first learned about all the different versions of singles they'd released. I made it my mission to seek them all out.
I've ordered this issue, 36 years after buying my first issue

We've been around forever, look at us now together... ordering magazines online...
Oh, very good...
Yes, what is up with with that Bilingual review? How dare he suggest that "It Always Comes As A Surprise" and "To Step Aside" sound flat??
Misunderstanding the concept I think.

Nightlife suffered from multi producers making it a non cohesive listen. One eye on the musical didn’t help either.

When Nightlife was released, John Earls reviewed it for Planet Sound, and he gave it something like 8/10. As I’ve never really been a fan of this album, this review has always been a reminder, not to get too excited when a good album review is given by a PSB fan.
