About this album

Yesterdays is a concise early Yes compilation that highlights the band’s shift from psychedelic pop towards the more ambitious art rock and progressive style that made them famous. Drawn from material recorded between 1969 and 1971, it gathers key songs from the pre-Fragile era, including the group’s expansive take on “America” and the elegant interplay of “Time and a Word” and “Astral Traveller”. As a retrospective, it works as both an introduction and a reminder of how quickly Yes developed their signature blend of vocal harmonies, virtuoso musicianship and forward-looking arrangement ideas. For listeners exploring the band’s origins, it is a useful snapshot of their early evolution.
