ALBUM INFO:

Going For The One is the eighth studio album by Yes. The album was recorded between late 1976 to spring 1977 by recording engineers John Timperley and David Richards at Mountain Studios in Switzerland, and was released later that same year in July. After the bands extended break, they regrouped in Switzerland in late 1976, with the return of keyboardist Rick Wakeman. After constructing epic tracks for the last few years, the band felt inspired the scale things back a bit and recorded some of their most direct and concise material since Fragile. Wakeman also varied his sound by using the new polyphonic synthesizer out from Moog, the Polymoog, and the use of the church pipe organ on ‘Parallels’ and ‘Awaken’. Yes’ return at the height of the punk movement was an unexpectedly successful one, with the album reaching the pinnacle of the UK charts and even having a Top 10 hit single with ‘Wonderous Stories’.

After many successive album covers with Roger Dean, Yes instead commissioned Hipgnosis – known for designing album covers for Pink Floyd – to create the artwork for Going For The One, however Dean’s Yes logo was retained. The album cover features the Century Plaza Towers in Los Angeles.

AUDIO GRADING:

POSTAGE, PACKAGING, RETURNS

PAYMENT: 

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.

RETURNS POLICY: 

I aim to provide an excellent service and hope that all buyers are satisfied with their purchase. However, if for any reason this should not be so, please contact me and on receipt of the item, I will give a full refund. I will not issue a refund if detail that is clearly stated on the advertisement has been missed by the buyer, so please read carefully.

PACKAGING: 

I use preformed and standard mailers with stiffeners. I always take the vinyl out in its inner sleeve and place on top of the cover. This is then placed into a soft protective sleeve and packaged with stiffeners for full protection.


POSTAGE + PRICES

Please wait for an invoice before payment. I always ship between two-five days after payment. The prices below are based on one LP, however if several LP's are purchased, the cost will be slightly more. All EU and Over Seas purchases must be signed for with a value of up to £46. All purchases are sent Royal Mail first class. The postage prices include £1.50 for packaging materials. 

UK & CHANNEL ISLANDS:  Standard first class will be £3.49. If the value exceeds £50, it will be sent first class signed for which will be £5.
EUROPE: First class signed for will be between £8- £12 depending where in Europe the item is being shipped, as it costs more to send to certain countries within the EU. For Example, it would cost me £8 to send an LP to Italy signed for, but would cost me £12 to send the same LP signed for to Switzerland.

ALL OVERSEAS (NON-EU): First class signed for will be £14.


GRADING SYSTEM:

Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare records. I try to be as accurate and fair as possible to avoid any disappointment. I have added a (+) or (-) to the gradings where applicable.
MINT: The record is either brand new or in brand new condition with no surface marks; the cover and any additional items such as inserts, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.  EX: The record shows some signs of having been played; the cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.  VG: The record has some noticeable surface marks, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects. GOOD: The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

Please bid with confidence and check my feedback. I aim to provide an excellent service, so please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you and good luck!
