Fans have been requesting this title for the audiophile format for years...and Friday Music is much honored to oblige.

Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Peter Banks, Bill Bruford and Tony Kaye created this masterpiece in 1970. The stunning musicianship partnering with the voice of Jon Anderson truly made this one of the more memorable albums from that decade.

With such concert  and fan favorites like the smashes Sweet Dreams, Then, and the pivotal ballad Time And A Word, this album was not only a prog-rock pleaser, but an all around classic rock event, which has stood the test of time to this day.

Stephen Stills' classic Everydays gets the five star treatment from this English quintet, plus the all time Yes track Astral Traveller is also featured on this stunning release.

Mastered from the original Atlantic Records tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and at Capitol Records with Ron McMaster, Time And A Word also includes for the first time in North American gatefold the original rare U.K. album artwork, as well as a poly sleeve for the LP and a poly sleeve for the album jacket to protect your recording for years to come.

THE 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LP -   

Close to the Edge, Yes's follow-up to the 1971 smash album Fragile, has been called the greatest progressive rock album of all time, and with good reason. Although Yes had a tough act to follow, they delivered an essentially superior record less than one year later. Indeed, this is their magnum opus.

At a length of just under 38 minutes, Close to the Edge is vast, yet it is comprised of only three tracks. Delicate textures of acoustic guitar and keyboards, punctuated by thoughtful drumming and blistering bass lines, populate these intricate arrangements. Lead singer Jon Anderson's high-pitched and ethereal voice soars above it all. The main attraction is the side-long title track, which represents the musical, lyrical, and sonic culmination of everything that Yes worked toward over the previous five years.

In the enormous output of a band that has been active for forty years, Close to the Edge represents the ultimate in musical creation. This timeless classic transcends genre clichés and is a wonderful addition to any record collection.
