After half a century of crafting an astonishing array of chart-topping albums and embarking on triumphant global tours, Yes’s The Yes Album marks the origin of their meteoric rise, through the recording sessions for this 1971 masterpiece.
With an ever interesting line-up of world class musicianship, this highly regarded chapter of Yes consisted of Jon Anderson (vocals), Chris Squire (bass/vocals), Bill Bruford (drums), Tony Kaye (keyboards) and the introduction of Steve Howe (guitars/vocals), The Yes Album was the band’s breakthrough album, ultimately remaining on the sales charts for 34 weeks, selling more than 1 million copies.
This important piece of music consists of six amazing Yes workouts such as the definitive album opener “Yours Is No Disgrace,” the hard rocking “Starship Trooper” and the brilliant “I’ve Seen All Good People” plus the massive hit single “Your Move.” From this moment on, there was no looking back for this superstar quintet.
Yes enthusiasts were superlatively rewarded with even more progressive rock favorites as the brilliant acoustic driven guitar work of Steve Howe’s “Clap,” Chris Squire and Jon Anderson’s superb “Perpetual Change” and the jazz-rock fusion of “A Venture” truly made this album a standout.
The album was a critical success and a major commercial breakthrough for Yes, who had been at risk of being dropped by Atlantic due to the commercial failures of their first two albums. It reached No. 4 in the United Kingdom and No. 40 in the United States, and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for surpassing 1 million copies.
