180 Gram Double Vinyl! Catchy Tunes & Interesting Themes! First Time Ever On Vinyl!
From topping the charts to epic pieces taking up a side of vinyl, and even both at the same time, Yes are among the longest lasting and the most successful of the 70s progressive rock groups, proving to be one of the lasting success stories from that musical genre. The band, founded in 1968, overcame a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band. Where rivals such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer withered away commercially after the mid-70s, and Genesis and King Crimson altered their sounds so radically as to become unrecognizable to their original fans, Yes retained the same sound, and performed much of the same repertoire that they were doing in 1971, and for their trouble, found themselves being taken seriously a quarter of a century later. Their audience remained huge because they had always attracted younger listeners drawn to their mix of daunting virtuosity, cosmic (often mystical) lyrics, complex musical textures, and powerful yet delicate lead vocals.
In 1995, the classic line-up of Anderson, Howe, Squire, Wakeman and White reunited for a short series of performances, but in a dispute over management and touring, the reunion was interrupted by Wakemans departure. Sherwood, who had been producing for the band, joined as an official member, taking over keyboards and sharing guitar duties. The new line-up released Open Your Eyes in 1997. Just as the band were finishing the album, another new member in keyboardist Igor Khoroshev was added for the tour.
''Open Your Eyes'' by Progressive Rock-Legend YES is available for the first time on vinyl! YES was planning a tour and decided to record a new album to promote while they were on the road. Chris Squire and Billy Sherwood had been working on a project together. Jon Anderson became interested and the music became a full-fledged YES project. The result was ''Open Your Eyes'', one of the best, and perhaps the most sophisticated of the YES albums - a selection of catchy tunes and interesting themes. Double album in gatefold cover. A world premiere!
