Yes - Fragile ( 1971 UK plum / red Atlantic / Polydor original first pressing . 2401 019 with stapled booklet ). Getting scarcer and scarcer now..the last of the Yes plum / red albums . Was only available for eight weeks in this original version from November 1971 until the switch to Kinney in January 1972. Matt gatefold cover MacNeill Press original has some tape residue marks as shown in photos, quite discreet though. They may come off completely with the correct treatment but il leave that to the new owner. Some edge rubbing at the bottom. Booklet is still fully attached ( very rare and unusual ) and very clean. Fully readable spine. Nice crisp opening edges. VERY GOOD PLUS . Iconic plum / red Atlantic labels show only moderate signs of use . NEAR EX. Vinyl lies flat and true on the platter. Some very fine marks from sleeve removal but I stress very light. Couple of tiny lines also but generally very nice playing surfaces. Fabulous audio. Many dealers would grade ex however I will go for NEAR EX. Gradings as per Record Collector Grading System definitions. Dealer & collector since 1974. All photos are of actual item for sale. Please wait for my personal invoice if ordering from outside the UK. Thanks. Any questions please get in touch. Gordon.
