Additional Information

Comments "Atlantic 75 Audiophile Series
The 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records"

First 2,000 copies are individually numbered.

Cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-Gram heavyweight vinyl at QRP.

Mastered directly from the original analog master tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.

Gatefold cover with interior credits and a reproduction of the original 8-page color booklet.

Original released in 1972. Recorded at Advision Studios, London, September 1971.

Five tracks of this album are the individual ideas, personally arranged and organised, by the five members of the Band. "Cans And Brahms" is an adaptation by Rick Wakeman on which he plays electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano taking the part of the woodwind, organ taking the brass, electric harpsichord taking reeds, and synthesizer taking contra bassoon. "We Have Heaven" is a personal idea by Jon Anderson in which he sings all the vocal parts. "Five Per Cent For Nothing" is a sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the Group, and taken directly from the percussion line. In Chris Squire's "The Fish", each riff, rhythm, and melody is produced by using the different sounds of the bass guitar. Steve Howe concludes with a solo guitar piece "Mood For A Day"
The remaining tracks on the album are Group arranged and performed.

All titles published by Yessongs, except "Cans And Brahms" which is traditional.
