Archetypal Prog-rockers Yes formed in London in the late 1960s and gained vast popularity in the 1970s. Throughout the 1970s, Yes produced a stream of Gold and Platinum-selling albums, with fan favorites Fragile and Close To The Edge. Yes hit the mainstream with their 1983 hit Owner Of A Lonely Heart.
However, in 1970 Yes was still trying to build their own sound. Time And A Word , the band's second album solidified and broadened their sound, using an orchestra to good effect. Credit for their long-standing relevance lies with the distinctive vocals and lyrics of frontman Jon Anderson and the musicianship of Bill Bruford (drums), Chris Squire (bass), Peter Banks (guitar), Tony Kaye (keyboards).
Time And A Word is available on audiophile black vinyl.
