YESTERDAYS

This compilation introduced me both to the music of YES and to progressive rock generally, so therefore I guess it holds a special place in my heart. I hadn't even heard the music of SIMON & GARFUNKEL back then, so I also found their music via this album. I think that this extended version of their "America" is great. I also like the early "non prog" material of YES, so this is a nice album to listen now and then for getting some nostalgia feelings. I think this compilation could also fit to those collections, which owners are not so keen on the two first YES albums, that they would want to buy them. One cannot get a complete overall look to the classic career of YES with this album alone, but if this is backed up with the "Classic Yes" compilation, then the picture gets much more precise!
