Fish Out Of Water: Blu-Ray High Resolution Edition ESOTERIC
Bass boss hooked a classic on his 1975 solo swim.
There’s a sturdy case to be made for Olias Of Sunhillow, but of all the mid-70s solo albums made by Yes members in the productive period after the Relayer tour, Squire’s has perhaps endured as the best loved.
Reissued in 2018 in a seven-disc special, it’s now offering the bait again as a Blu-ray-only edition, with hi-res mixes and original promo footage. It’s fair to declare that most of this was included in that set two years ago: this specific version will please those who really, really care about a faintly discernible difference in sound quality. As an album, regardless, Fish Out Of Water remains startlingly good.
