    I love this, but then again I love everything from the wonderful Al Stewart. This has some truly memorable songs and The Palace of Versailles and End of the Day are two of my all time favourites.
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2022
    Nicely mastered, the extra disc has the single mixes which are a worthy addition , overall worth the investment to finally replace all those compilation versions of a classic title track and excellent album
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2021
    Nicely put together, excellent mastering, and a great surround mix. Everything that I was hoping for.

    Just for the record (sic) I was given this set as a gift so did not buy from ÍøÆغÚÁÏ but I thought it important to clarify that the second cd is indeed different from the second disc of the 2cd version.
    Therefore the entire WKDX show appears over cds 2 and 3. So on cd2 after the singles and the demos we have

    and cd 3 is as listed. Same problem as Year of Cat with the poor disc housing but otherwise a nice celebration of this very accomplished album.

    Really, one has to question the mindset of releasing this marvelous package and not including the lyrics, while going to the expense of including a useless colour poster. One side of the full-size poster is blank and could have easily accommodated the lyrics.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una nuova riedizione per un classico senza tempo.
    Reviewed in Italy on 25 January 2022
    L'ennesima copia di un album che non mi stanco mai di comprare ascoltare e riscoprire. Questo doppio CD presenta il disco originale rimasterizzato e un sunto di un concerto americano del 1978 più qualche demo e provino. Esiste anche in versione più estesa e completa ma per me questa è più che sufficiente. Consigliato a tutti, non solo ai fans di Al.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic album has never sounded better!
    Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2022
    Though 'Year of the Cat' will always be heralded as Al Stewart's crowning achievement; 'Time Passages' was a worthy follow-up and one of the best mixed albums of the decade.

    Alan Parsons' production was brilliant; yet this edition manages to do the original one better. With the 5.1 surround mix, it's as though one is a fly on the wall as the album is being recorded.

    The inclusion of a live 'for radio' recording only helps reveal the true talent of Al Stewart, his songwriting, and his band. Stripped of Parsons' studio wizardry, we find another - equally impressive - side to these beloved songs.

    Get a copy while you still can!
