Two consecutive YES albums, the ones that really put the band on the prog-rock map, the first to feature Roger Dean album cover artwork and the first with Rick Wakeman on keyboards. FRAGILE is a Record Club of America U.S. first pressing. CLOSE TO THE EDGE is a Presswell First Pressing. While both records were completely play-tested for the vinyl grades above, it should be noted that the first few minutes of "And You And I" played VG+, not enough to lower the grade.
