TRACKLISTING: The normal issues of this had a gatefold sleeve depicting the unadorned chest upholstery of a young blonde female of the species with the intricate details of her busty substances being obscured by conveniently placed locks of hair.
Little known however is that this was not the first sleeve design.
The original sleeve design [this one] featured a Hipgnosis composition that was essentially a gatefold shot of the band in the studio with the inside gatefold showing a suitably Rocktastic on stage shot that appears to show Peter Banks levitating.
Seventies novelties aside this sleeve is particularly remarkable because it was never meant to have been issued AT ALL. That means it doesnt even qualify as withdrawn because it should not have been printed to withdraw in the first place. Some were printed as proof sleeves in the UK but none were known to have ended up on a finished retail copy - Until now.
The March 2014 issue of Record Colector magazine [#425] has a full page devoted to this under their Diggin For Gold section on page 134.
The author Dave Watkinson describes obtaining his proof sleeve directly from the head offices of Yes management at 9 Hillgate Street in West London when they were moving premises and getting what he believed to be possibly the only sleeve left in the world from the archive of the Manager at the time Brian Lane. He correctly describes this as The Money Shot for Yes collectors with a value that could only be guessed at.
Thats for an unissued proof sleeve with no vinyl. What price a finished retail issued sleeve WITH vinyl ?
How New Zealand happened to have and to issue this sleeve is unknown but I suspect the vast distances between the Head Office & New Zealand may have had a lot to do with it. Being pressed in ridiculously small numbers compared to a UK press it may have even been thought that it had not been pressed there at all. Obviously some were.
The quantities of these sleeves that made it into the wild in New Zealand are unknown but it could be mere handfuls. Other than the one owned by Dave Watkinson only one other has ever surfaced.
Under normal circumstances this would go to the highest bidder but as we offer a first past the post system here the first one that offers to buy it gets it.
If you are a lifelong Yes & related collector this could well be the crowning glory of your lifes work.
