This was their first release to feature 24-year-old guitarist Steve Howe, issued on Atlantic Records in March 1971 in the UK, a month later in the United States. This was the album that finally set Yes's career alight, with the album reaching #4 in the UK and, eventually, #40 in the U.S., where it was a platinum seller. This was also the last Yes album for over twelve years to feature keyboardist Tony Kaye until his return in 1983's 90125.
The Yes Album set the stage for the band's route to superstardom with Fragile and Close to the Edge. This was their first commercial success and, reportedly, it had to be or Atlantic was going to cut them loose.
The album was recorded at an old farmhouse in Devon, England, which was then home to Langley Studios. Howe loved the place so much, that he later bought the building and surrounding land and now lives there.
Jon Anderson is credited as John Anderson on the album. Shortly afterwards he dropped the "h" from his first name, and on subsequent albums is credited as "Jon".
The album cover shows Tony Kaye with his foot in a cast. He had been in a car accident shortly before the picture was taken
Side One:
Yours Is No Disgrace
The Clap
Starship Trooper
Side Two:
I've Seen All Good People
A Venture
Perpetual Change
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright, fresh and unmarked labels with light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like new in normal light but have harmless hairlines/brush marks under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout and my play-check at loud volume found little to fault.
A very clean pressing with nothing but the (very) occasional little one-off tick
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD
There is rub on the edges and spine but the gatefold is good and solid
