Title : YES      Catalogue Number : 588190      Matrix : 588190 A//1 - B//1      
Issue : UK 1st PRESS
This is the 1st UK press of Yes. Released in 1969, this press can be identified by the earliest A1/B1 matrix and the earliest plum and orange Atlantic label. It is pressed on the earliest wonderful heavy vinyl. As such the sound quality of these earlier presses is enormously superior to the flimsy later issues. The record is complete with the original matt gatefold sleeve.
The record in Very Good condition. The vinyl has asuperb gloss, there is no whitening, just a couple of small marks on Side One and a few wispy hairlines on both sides. The vinyl has only been lightly played. The label is exceptionally clean, the colours are vivid and the white is extremely bright. The black text is sharp and there is only the very slightest spindle wear. 

When played the record sits completely flat on the turntable. The sound is extremely bold, very bassy and vibrant with some moments of light background hiss and a couple of little clicks on the marks but no loud crackle and certainly no jumps or skips. It plays well throughout.

The matt earliest light gatefold sleeve is in Very Good condition. The picture is still bright and the colours are still vivid. There is a little corner and edge wear and a some tape on the base of the spine. The inside is completely clean, the black is solid and the picture is sharp. The whole sleeve is solid.  _gsrx_vers_586 (GS 6.8 (586))
