The folks at Because Sound Matters (the vinyl arm of Warner Brothers) are currently taking a five part video stroll through Bernie Grundman’s mastering studio.

Yes and Peter Frampton announce tour
Peter Frampton and Yes, on tour together? It’s actually not as random of a combination as you might think – it turns out that the pair have some past touring history together.
