Brief Info: Close to the Edge is the fifth studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 13 September 1972 on Atlantic Records. Following their success with Fragile (1971), Yes began to produce extended pieces which resulted in Close to the Edge, an album formed of three tracks with the 18-minute title track occupying side one and "And You and I" and "Siberian Khatru" on side two. When recording for the album finished, drummer Bill Bruford had grown tired of the band's style and song writing methods and left to join King Crimson.

Released three months into its supporting tour, Close to the Edge was a commercial and critical success for the band. It peaked at number 3 in the United States and number 4 in the United Kingdom. "And You and I" was released as a single that reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album is certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling over one million copies.

Cover Grade:  EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT condition.

Vinyl Sound Quality and Audio Grading: NEAR MINT.

I use the grading categories as described on Discogs with the exception that I have titled the Very Good Plus (VG+) category on Discogs as EXCELLENT. All other grade titles are as per the Discog titles e.g. Mint, Near Mint, Very Good etc.

These records and the ones on my other listings are part of my private collection that I am selling. I will be adding other records everyday over the next couple of weeks.

Can be collected.
