Description

  Exceptionally Rare!

*WHITE-LABEL PROMO COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

VINYL LP - 33 1/3 rpm

YES

"Yes"
(Self-titled 1st album)

U.S. PRESSING

ATLANTIC RECORDS #SD 8243 - Issued 1969 - White-Label DJ Copy

PROMO ISSUE WITH ORANGE "PROMOTIONAL COPY" STICKER ON FRONT

The most rare U.S. Yes album, the 1st pressing of their first.  When originally released in 1969 it sold so few copies that it was quickly deleted, and now virtually never turns up for sale.  So it is seriously hard to find today! 

TRACKS:

BEYOND AND BEFORE
I SEE YOU
YESTERDAY AND TODAY
LOOKING AROUND
HAROLD LAND
EVERY LITTLE THING
SWEETNESS
SURVIVAL

*VERY NICE COPY - VINYL RECORD IS A VERY STRONG VG+ CONDITION
COVER HAS SLIGHT WEAR, INCLUDING ABOUT A 2-INCH SEAM SPLIT TOP-MIDDLE


Includes original printed inner-sleeve lyrics sheet (often missing) in Excellent Condition as well.

I am selling the U.S. version, NOT THE IMPORT that looks like this:



I believe the U.S. version I'm selling here (pictured at the top of the page, of the group) is more rare than many import versions.

 Yes's first album was a truly interesting mix of early prog Moog noises and Beatles harmonies. It's not really a revelation -- they've been doing that for 30 years -- but never has the Beatles influence been so pronounced. They also never repeated the unbelievable beauty of "Sweetness".

The band at this stage was:

BILL BRUFORD - DRUMS
TONY KAYE - ORGAN, PIANO
PETER BANKS - GUITAR, VOCALS
CHRIS SQUIRE - BASS, VOCALS
JOHN ANDERSON - LEAD SINGER, AND INCIDENTAL PERCUSSION

This is a vinyl record album that plays at 33 1/3 rpm/speed on a turntable.
