Description

The album Tormato, released in September 1978 was the last to feature the most stable 70s classic YES line up (although they would reunite later).
The poster image (from the albums rear cover) was designed by Hipgnosis but retains the classic YES logo designed by Roger Dean. Howe pitched the album's original title of Yes Tor, referring to the second-highest point on Dartmoor. Rick Wakeman claimed to have thrown a tomato at the pictures taken for the album as he was disappointed with its design. The album's title and cover was changed accordingly. Howe said it was someone at Hipgnosis who threw the tomato on purpose, The band were not photographed on Yes Tor; their picture was in fact taken in Regents Park, wearing bomber jackets and sunglasses with each member facing a different direction. Each jacket was labelled with the member's name on the front, but Squire had forgotten his and had to wear one labelled "Jim", belonging to tour manager Jim Halley. The word "Chris" was then drawn onto the final image.
I bought this now very rare poster when seeing the band on the TORMATO tour from the official merchandise outlet and it has been in storage rolled up ever since.  Considering its age, its in surprisingly good condition with no pinholes or rips and just some feint fold marks from storage.  It would look stunning if framed and glazed.
the poster size is approximately 29 inches/73.5cm deep, 19 inches/48.4CM wide.
Will be posted rolled in a substantial cardboard tube.  
A lovely and authentic item for any YES fan to enjoy.
