Friday Music 180 gm pressings

Does anyone have any feedback on this label? They have some interesting releases in their catalog, and I'm wondering who has any experience with their pressings. Good, bad, ugly?

I have Yes - Time and a Word. I am very impressed with the quality of the pressing and the sound of the recording. Quiet background and detailed recording.

They are reissuing a lot of music I grew up with

I have Yes-90125, Yes-Close to the Edge and Yes-Relayer on 180 gram from Friday. The 90125 is better then the origianl release, Relayer is more revealing (and hence, more grating) and the early first release of Close to the Edge is bad. They have since, re-cut Close to the Edge with sonic improvements.

The label to watch out for is Hollywood records.

Thankfully I haven't bought any Hollywood releases, but I've had bad experiences with Back To Black records.

I have Wired and Blow By Blow and they're both excellent.
