YESTERDAYS

This is an odd compilation. Released after "Relayer", when each of the members of the band released a solo album, and Rick Wakeman came back, this, the first compilation from the group contains only songs from the original lineup, plus the great cover of Simon and Garfunkel's America, recorded for an album honoring the once proud Atlantic record label.

Sporting one of Roger Dean's strangest album covers (featuring a spectral nude woman floating in the air on one side, and two nude children, one of whom is urinating on the other), the only reason for it's being seemed to be the above mentioned America, which was also released in a castrated single edit.

The remainder of the album are selections from the Banks/Kaye lineup, with one song, Dear Father originally the B-side from a single, appearing on an album for the first time.

Since America and Dear Father are now available as bonus tracks on "Fragile" and "Time And A Word" respectively. it relegates this set to now be a collector's piece.
