Yes Talk Rare Double Vinyl 180 Gram Audiophile Album. Condition is "Used".
? I have owned this album since it was released new as a re-issue in 2015. I have played it three times, well four now as I just test played it, (with pleasure.). It is in the original sleeve and if you examine the photos you will see that this is in wonderful condition. When you see the green arrow in the photos it is pointing out the aberrations that I have found on this album. You will see on side B of the album itself there is a small rub that goes across at the very edge of the beginning of the first track. This was present when I received the album but as I did not play it for several months and did not open and inspect it I was not able to exchange it as I normally would have. It went out of print very quickly and as I have played through it I have not noticed a sound from that rub. It appears to be very much on the surface and very slight. This is the reason I cannot say mint but I will let you see for yourself. It is an excellent re-issue of an album that did not get the attention it deserved. As I understand it the original record company went broke and promotions did not happen as they should. Here are the re-issue specifications as they were published:
Description
Limited double 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing includes four page insert and one bonus track - 'The Calling' (Special Version). It was during the 1990s that Yes underwent one of it's not infrequent periods of revolutionary change. Although it might appear unusual to the outside world, the idea of constantly re-moulding the Yes concept ensures the band remains a dynamic force. One result of such upheaval was the creation of 'Talk', the 1994 album regarded by many critics as their most powerful and intriguing pieces of work. It certainly represents 'a journey into the unknown' - as the album's producer, the multi-talented Trevor Rabin, describes it. After the Union tour it was decided that Yes would carry on with Trevor Rabin, Jon Anderson, Tony Kaye and Alan White. Their plan was to record a new album produced by Trevor, which evolved into Talk. Trevor and Jon wrote all the music and lyrics. The aim was to tackle the challenges of the computer age. However, as can be heard on this welcome LP reissue, many of the traditional Yes qualities remain, including the use of acoustic guitar, vocal harmonies and a touch of the traditional Hammond organ sound. In the aftermath of Talk, Yes was reborn with Jon, Chris, Steve Howe and Alan White back together. A succession of splendid new albums followed.

Once again, please examine the photos closely. There is a small bend in the clear protective sleeve wrapper that covers this as you’ll see in the top right corner where the green arrow is. Everything else should meet or exceed your expectations. I will include free priority mail shipping to US destinations because as you know, the less time it is in the hands of our friends at the USPS the better. This will be shipped signature required US. International orders are different as you probably know and I can only rely on tracking. Please consider this as you order.
