"Unbelieve achievement of modern mastering technique! Breathtaking, this sounds unreal! This is not from this earth, in a way." — Michael Ludwigs, 45 RPM Audiophile, YouTube video

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.

Analogue Productions is proud to offer the definitive reissue deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP of The Yes Album. For Yes fans, this is a can't-miss addition to your album collection.

The biggest surprise in this series posted on 07/18/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: Scott Wilson The record has been transformed here. Based on everything I've compared it to, (US, UK, Grundman,) this was better in every aspect. Don't miss it if you love the album.

Going for the number one posted on 06/23/2024 5 Stars Thank you Analogue Productions and QRP! I’m going to cherish this one.

Wow, Best I’ve Ever Heard posted on 06/21/2024 5 Stars Sonically and musically stunning. A must buy if you are a Yes fan.

This is the definitive The Yes Album posted on 06/18/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: James I've heard all of the attempts by other labels and sound engineers to master The Yes Album over the years and finally it has been done the way it should have been done all along. Beautiful sound stage. Clarity and detail. Separation of instruments. Lows, mids and highs sound amazing...and dead quiet, flat vinyl. Thank you, Analogue Productions, Quality Pressings and co. on another exemplary job!.

The way YES should sound posted on 06/15/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: joey1127 This pressing is amazing. Very dynamic and full of punch. the pressings I've owned over the years were lacking in the lower end, this 45rpm release is the way YES should sound. a MUST HAVE before it's out of print!

Finally done right! posted on 06/14/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: Sckott I took the hook for the Friday Music version which was good, but my copy had severe problems with centering. Trying to listen to it gave me a headache. Not only sounds better, but made better all around. Very excited to have this one. We've seen countless reissues too, but this blows them all away. If you're curious, better get one now.

Better Than the Friday Music Version posted on 06/09/2024 5 Stars Just my opinion, I compared this to the Friday Music 45 box set. I prefer the sound of the 75th anniversary edition. Fuller deeper sound.

Awesome!!!! posted on 06/09/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: Capt. Sharky I was raised listening to Yes. With their first album, I was amazed! This album is absolutely perfect. BUY IT!

Undisputedly Stunning posted on 06/09/2024 5 Stars Reviewer: Derek D This is my favorite Yes album and because of this I have owned multiple copies, including an original pressing. I can honestly say I have never heard the clarity, depth and punch that this pressing provides. This is truly the end all copy for me . Exceeded my expectations.
