Yes – The Yes Album

UK Atlantic / Polydor pressing • Catalogue No. 2400101 • classic early progressive rock LP

Why this record matters

Some albums mark the moment a band truly becomes itself. The Yes Album is one of those records. It is the point where Yes stepped fully into the sound that would define them for generations of progressive rock listeners: ambitious, melodic, technical, and still full of warmth and movement.

Collectors look for this album because it is not just another early 70s LP — it is a cornerstone release. It carries the energy of a band on the edge of greatness, with tracks that still feel expansive, intelligent and alive. Ordinary listeners love it too, because even beyond its reputation, it remains a genuinely rewarding record to play: bold, musical, and deeply atmospheric.

This UK copy is especially interesting because the runout shown in the photos confirms an early Side B matrix 2400101 B//1, exactly the kind of pressing detail serious buyers always pay attention to.
