Yes Close To The Edge 1972 1st US Pressing LP Gatefold Printed Inner Sleeve

Description: Yes Close To The Edge 1972 1st US Pressing LP Gatefold Printed Inner Sleeve Archival SleeveA Must for any collection Close To The Edge was released on 13 September 1972 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest progressive rock albums ever recorded. Inspired by Siddharta and their “state of mind” at the time, Yes’s 5th album is widely regarded as their masterpiece. The Gold-certified work remains a crowning achievement in the band’s illustrious career. It reached the Top Ten in both the U.K. and in the U.S., where it spent thirty-two weeks on the charts. Close To The Edge includes the epic standout ‘And You And I.’ Guitar World named it one of their ‘100 Greatest Guitar Albums of All Time.’ This flawless classic is also included in the book, ‘1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’ Close to the Edge is the fifth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes. It was released on 13 September 1972 by Atlantic Records, and is their last album of the 1970s to feature their original drummer Bill Bruford. After scoring a commercial and critical hit with Fragile and touring the album, Yes regrouped to prepare material for a follow-up, ideas for which had been put down some months before. The album's centrepiece is the 18-minute title track, with themes and lyrics inspired by the Herman Hesse novel Siddhartha. Side two contains two non-conceptual tracks, the folk-inspired "And You and I" and the comparatively straightforward rocker "Siberian Khatru". Bruford found the album particularly laborious to make, which culminated in his decision to quit the band after it was recorded, to join King Crimson. t’s a masterpiece!It’s actually a great album. Ended up getting a great quality, clean copy for a steal on EBay. Turns out to be one of my favorite albums in my collection.
