Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

STILL FACTORY SEALED 1971? ORIG
THICK & COLORFUL GATEFOLD COVER
"YES"
The YES Album
\ USA - ATLANTIC RECORDS - SD 8283
STILL FACTORY SEALED = NEVER OPENED/NEVER PLAYED!
COMPLETELY FLAT & SQUARE = TOP COPY!
RARE to find as a THICK gatefold cover (never opened) STILL SEALED copy and what we assume is 1971 FIRST PRESSING of course having NO bar code ... the catalog numbers SD 8283 match up to the first pressing...
As many collectors know, this is the first "full-power" Yes album, where the Anderson/Squire core acquire their primary gun who is of course guitarist Steve Howe. Not barely a minute into the first track, Howe's impeccable style and glorious tone boldly announce the arrival of one of the best progressive guitar players; and at the same time, the full arrival of the now unstoppable musical force which is Yes. Although the band would certainly evolve throughout their career and tackle increasingly ambitious projects, the music on this album is not diminished the slightest bit in the shadow of their later, more far-reaching masterworks. Right from the first guitar notes, Howe shows the why of his hiring, and the show goes on with the amazing guitar solo in The Clap, a live-extravaganza. Another uber-Yes classic the 9-mins+ three-part Starship Trooper fills the rest of this first flawless side of vinyl, where Tony Kaye's organ flies forward because of Howe's more versatile nature, and is one of fans favorites in YES musical moments: a little over 4 minutes into the song (4:14) begins one of the most transcendent and beautiful vocal harmony arrangements one could ever hope to hear. All Good People is another timeless Yes classic with 7-mins divided in two movements, and what a way to open up an album's flipside. This track transpires positivism and is still often used as their first encore live. Probably the only track that's not well-known, A Venture is just as superb as the rest of the album and still remains underrated today, despite Kaye's graet piano solo and plenty of tricky time signatures. The closing 9-mins Perpetual Change is another classic track that made this album a legend and actually much more consistent than the following Fragile album to come.
Yours Is No Disgrace (9:36)
The Clap (3:07)
Starship Trooper: Life Seeker / Disillusion / Wurm (9:23)
I've Seen All Good People: Your Move / All Good People (6:47)

A cool addition to anyone's music library!
