'' is a
1975 Compilation Album by the
British Progressive Rock band
Yes . Released as the band were about to explore their own solo projects, it consists mostly of material from their first two albums, ''
Yes '' and ''
Time And A Word ''. In addition, it features the
1970 B-side "Dear Father" and their cover of
Simon & Garfunkel 's "
America " which was featured on an
Atlantic Records sampler album in
1972 . An edit of this extended recording was also released as a US single that year.
All of the tracks on this album feature Yes’s original line-up with
Peter Banks and
Tony Kaye except "America", which includes
Steve Howe and
Rick Wakeman .
This was the last Yes album until ''
Drama '' (
1980 ) to use cover artwork by

Time And A Word '', while the back cover was designed to be used as an alternate front cover.
