What current album or classic album would be ideal to purchase to
listen old school style?
Classic YES
Or... Jethro Tull might work. :)
On musical merit, definitely. However, there are a few classic Yes albums that sounded horrible on the original mastering and media. Tales from Topographic Oceans and Relayer, as well as the live album Yessongs, all sound better in later "remasters."
For those, I might suggest checking out the Steve Wilson remixes on vinyl, bearing in mind that he started from scratch with the original tracks. All the arrangements are identical, but some sounds have been brought to the fore that might have been muted more in the original Offord mixes.
Still, the sound of Relayer on the remix is unbelievable; Tales is almost as good.
As for Jethro Tull, they've always sounded their best on record!
Take care,
