  For sale is Yes' Fragile, released in 1972 by Atlantic Records in a gate-fold presentation. I bought this used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and put it away in a MFSL archival inner sleeve. This protects the vinyl and any original inner sleeve or insert that came with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The original 8 page booklet is Excellent with a little corner crease and a slight indentation at the bottom from the curve of the record. The cover is graded VG+ because of shelf wear around the edges, ring wear, corner blunts and there is a rippled crease in the middle of the back cover and at the bottom corner of the back cover by the spine. The spine has some color loss from stress cracks and these corner blunts. The vinyl is visually graded as VG because of some sleeve marks and surface scratches. I'm play grading it between G+ and VG because of occasional pops and surface noise, more noticeable during the quiet sections of playback, but not over powering the music. This is still one of the best copies of this album that I have seen or heard and you would be hard pressed to find one like it, being that it has the original inserts. This has been played on Audiophile equipment since I bought it and has a lot of life left to it. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection. I have more Progressive Rock and Roll albums, as well as records of all different genres in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.   I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
