This listing is for the Amazing multicolored vinyl pressing of the 21-LP (yes, 21 records) from Yes, Progeny, Seven Shows from Seventy-Two, War of Words. This monstrous box set was pressed to a limited, and very fitting, run of only 1,972 numbered copies. This even ships in a really cool customized Yes box shown in the last image. I purchased this for myself as I’m a lover of vinyl records. It is new/sealed/unplayed. This piece was never displayed anywhere. It was set on an IKEA shelf which has been covered by a drop cloth to keep out UV rays. It is in outstanding condition. I've provided images of all four corners for your review. 
Additional Details: Yes was firing on all cylinders in the fall of 1972. The prog-rock pioneers’ fifth studio album CLOSE TO THE EDGE was a smash success as audiences around the world packed arenas to see the legendary group perform. The band captured the magic of that tour on its first live album, Yessongs. Released in 1973, the triple-LP sold over a million copies and blew minds with Roger Dean’s iconic artwork.
In 2015, seven complete concerts from the weeks leading up to the shows heard on Yessongs were assembled in the 14-CD boxed set PROGENY: SEVEN SHOWS FROM SEVENTY-TWO. The box set will make its vinyl debut in a monumental 21-LP version on December 2, 2023.
PROGENY: SEVEN SHOWS FROM SEVENTY-TWO holds every note from all seven shows, recorded in the fall of 1972 as the band’s tour jumped from Canada to North Carolina, and then Georgia and Tennessee, before their last stop in New York at Nassau Coliseum on November 20. This comprehensive set comes in a cigarette-style flip top box with artwork by Dean and featuring each of the shows pressed on a different colored vinyl (ruby, orange crush, cobalt, soda bottle clear, tan, forest green, and electric blue). The collection is limited to 1,972 individually numbered copies and is available exclusively at Rhino.com.
PROGENY: SEVEN SHOWS FROM SEVENTY-TWO memorializes Yes’ first tour with drummer Alan White, who sadly passed away in 2023 after 50 years in the band. He replaced Bill Bruford, who recorded Close To The Edge before leaving to join King Crimson. White only had three days to learn the band’s live show before his first night on stage with Jon Anderson (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass) and Rick Wakeman (keyboards).  
Recorded three months into the tour, these powerful performances attest to how quickly the new line-up came together musically as they navigate hits like “Roundabout,” and complex pieces like “And You and I.” Even though the setlist didn’t vary much from night to night, the individual performances are strikingly different.
On the sleeve grading, I never grade sleeves/boxes as mint as you can always find some minor imperfection if you look hard enough. Check out the images and judge for yourself.
Info  on  my  listings: With exception to the occasional stock image to show the color of a release, the images I post are of the actual items in my possession. Most  of  my  items  are new/unplayed, with a few exceptions. (Check the listing for certainty here.) All items have been stored in a climate-controlled environment. Ships via media mail.
Shipping to continental US only. All sales final.
Please note that I ship my LPs either wrapped in bubble wrap, with padding on the corners, or in well protected mailers that have extra cardboard to mitigate sleeve damage. New vinyl records are not always perfect. Even new LPs will have the occasional pop or crackle, which is part of the charm of vinyl.
