THE YES ALBUM

BRITISH PROG ROCK AT ITS BEST.

UK 1ST PRESS LABELS, WITH 'CAMPBELL CONNELLY & CO', ON BOTH LABELS.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, ON POSTAGE AND SHIPPING TO THE UK AND WORLD WIDE AT THE END OF THE LISTING, THANK YOU.

THIS YES, WHO STARTED OUT IN 1968, AND FORMED IN LONDON, 1968 AND ARE STILL PERFORMING TODAY, AND I WOULD SAY ONE OF THE GREATEST BRITISH PROG ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME, AND THE ALBUM BELOW IS THEIR 3RD, RELEASED IN 1971, AND THEIR FIRST ALBUM TO FEATURE GUITARIST, STEVE HOWE'. AS WITH ALL YES ALBUMS, A TRUE PRIVILAGE TO LISTEN TO.

THIS 1971 ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS  IS PRESSED ON THE RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL.

ON THE LABELS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 2400101.

IN THE RUN OFFS IT HAS, 2400101  A//1  11 17 / 2400101  B//1  11  33.

THE COVER IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, WITH NO SPLITS ON THE SPINE OR EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THERE ARE SOME SMALL CREASE LINES AROUND THE OUTER EDGES, AND A LIGHT MARK BOTTOM LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK, AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE GATEFOLD, IT IS NICE AND CLEAN WITH NO WRITING. I MUST POINT OUT THAT THERE IS SOME RIPPLING ON THE FRONT AND BACK, FROM THE OPENING EDGE SIDE TO JUST PAST THE MIDDLE, AS I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS. THE STRANGE THING IS THAT I HAVE HAD A FEW LIKE THIS SO IT MUST BE A PRESSING ISSUE, AND CERTAINLY NOT WATER DAMAGE, AS THERE WOULD BE WATER DAMAGE MARKS, WHERE THERE ARE NONE ON THIS COVER, SO A NICE ORIGINAL, WITH A BIT OF A WAVEY FEEL TO IT, BUT NOTHING REALLY SERIOUS.

THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFUL, WITH NOTHING AT ALL ON THE AUDIO, SO NO STICKS, SKIPS, JUMPS, STATIC, CRACKLE, POPS, TICKS OR CLICKS..

ON SIDE 1, THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE AUDIO.

ON SIDE 2, AGAIN THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE AUDIO.

TO LOOK AT THE VINYL, LITERALLY THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF HARMLESS FAINT LINES FROM THE USE OF THE INNER SLEEVE, AND A SMALL THIN HARMLESS COSMETIC MARK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 ON SIDE 2, AND A VERY FAINT HARD TO SEE COSMETIC HAIRLINE ACROSS SIDE 2, AND IT IS SO FAINT YOU MIGHT NOT SEE IT UNLESS YOU LOOK VERY HARD.

THE LABELS ARE ALSO IN NICE CONDITION WITH AGAIN, LITERALLY A COUPLE OF LIGHT MARKS FROM THE SPINDLE PIN AT THE CENTRE.

THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER HAS NO UNWANTED WRITING, AND IS SOLID, BUT DOES HAVE SOME CREASE LINES IN THE CORNERS, AND SOME LIGHT BROWNING AROUND THE EDGES. I WILL ALSO PUT THE VINYL IN A BRAND NEW INNER WITH A POLY LINER.

SO ONTO THE THE GRADING SIDE OF THINGS, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING I AM ALWAYS ON THE OTHER END TO ANSWER....

THE COVER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND DUE TO THE RIPPLE EFFECT I WOULD GRADE VG+.

THE AUDIO AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE A BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING NEAR MINT .

THE LABELS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE EX/EX+ .

THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE I WOULD GRADE VG/VG- .

I MUST SAY THAT I WILL BE LISTING SOME GREAT ALBUMS SOON, BUT I NEED TO GET SOME MORE SALES UNDER MY BELT, SO THE AUCTIONS WILL GO BETTER, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THANK YOU.
