I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL RARITIES FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! A FANTASTIC ALBUM BY YES,  STUPENDOUSLY CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP . A MUST FOR ANY PROG COLLECTOR.

Vinyl: EX++.  Barely played, maybe just once or twice. Audio is A++ and this vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic classic issued before the mass fame of the "Yes Album" lifted them to "Super" status. The audio has beautiful separation and there is no background noise. There are no marks and just one tiny very wispy hairline which is completely inaudible on replay. Under a strong light there are also light paper retraction traces, these are completely invisible in normal daylight and the vinyl looks just pristine. I played this in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this ever again in such archive condition, it is indeed mega rare these days. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

 "Even without Wakeman or Howe, this rates easily alongside The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge as one of the quintessential early prog-rock albums. Not only is it near-impossible to find a flaw, but every song is both great and succinct, yet the album retains an exceptional cohesiveness. Chris Squire still considers this his favorite Yes album. As much as I love all the others, I'm tempted to agree." (taken from "Progarchives".)

 Sleeve: EX+. Fantastic looked after sleeve without any wear or damage.  Beautiful deep unfaded colours. Impossible to find this very scarce album in this well preserved condition. Fully legible spine. Lightest of storage wear on the bottom edge but I'm being deliberately picky. A light age related yellowing nearer the spine.The album has been kept in a protective sleeve from day one!! No writing, no marks , one of the best I have ever come across!! This is an upgrade copy!!

This an excellent

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bid lists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
