It's the catalog number for the album on Atlantic's catalog system, I believe. It's noted in the Yes Rhino Remastered & Expanded release that has a lot of liner notes.

Very interesting question!!! "90125" is the ATCO catalogue number of the album (actually 79-0125-1). I presume they couldn't think up a title for the album! same for the Van Halen album "5150" is WB catalogue number "925 394-1 W5150". Geek

Atco Records (Yes' first for the label) catalouge number...90125-593922 or something like that.  The first digits of the ID # were 90125-......  Anybody know the story behind why they chose to title the album this way?  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

thx so far; so, is the "90124" of Trevor Rabin just a case of 'accident'? it was previously planned as "90124", and at that time 90125 was even not on the counter...

Is it? I think it's just Trevor's way of showing the original music which was to become 90125. That would make perfect sense.

I think either they just ran out of creativity to give the album a proper name, or maybe they were influenced by new wave or mainstream music, which gave prog some sort of 'minimalist' touch (?). Genesis called their 1983 album "Genesis", that's also a very 'minimal' title. Just guessing, really.

well, it seems interesting to label an album with a producers code number. i think that it may also be a part of the marketing strategies (if ever existed for that time) Confused...
by the way, any other xamples of PRoG-RoCK bands havind done this except the one mentioned above (Van Halen album "5150" is WB catalogue number "925 394-1 W5150) ?

According to Chris Welch's "Close to the Edge - The Story of Yes" (p206) it was originally The New Yes Album" but they then decided to use what was expected to be the catalogue number to be minimalist.
 
It appears that they were told it would be 90104 but that was then allocated to someone else so they relcutantly took 90125 - apparently Squire said it didn't sound as good as 90104.

As far as I know, that album is named after Eddie's home studio...

5150 is also a US police code (look it up here: http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/polcodes.htm)LOL

Mike beat me to it. 5150 (I believe) is the police code for the criminally insane. I like the title (still love that album, too); however, they got stupid with OU812. Good album, but a bit too goofy.

Once Van Halen put out OU812 (pronounced: Oh! You ate one too?), I went back trying to see if there was no play on word , but could not find any

IMO OU812 was their last good album. To try to keep to the topic: any idea what that name means? Also a policecode or catalog number?

Oh, I don't know about that. I think For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was a great disc, with "Right Now" being one of their best tunes. "This Dream Is Over" and "Pleasuredome" are also worth mentioning. Balance has its moments, but probably the weakest with Hagar. VH3, on the other hand, is quite simply a bad album. Cherone does nothing but growl, and the production is so weak. "Without You" is a good tune, but the rest is simply unlistenable.

I don't know for sure, but I would think it's the numerical equivalent of "Oh, you ate one, too". They could've done better.

^ Balance had some fantastic songs, most notably "Feeling". F.U.C.K. was very nice, but somehow it left me cold ... I agree that the last really good album was OU812. Absolutely brilliant album, and it might very well be THE Van Halen album that can be recommended to Prog fans (I'm not saying that it's prog, but it has its moments).

That's what it actually means, or so I have read in a book. It was the band's answer to Dave Lee Roth's title of "Eat 'em and Smile".

There must be some strange coincidence here, since this morning at my local supermarket they were playing "Jump"...Wink

ouch... for some reason I figured when I do get to visit Italy.. that I would be hearing PFM coming through the windows as I strolled through the streets hahha....  I guess it is true that American culture is a corrupting influenc hahaWink

anyway... 90125.... taken on it's own merits ... a fabulous album.  Sure it wasn't Close to the Edge.. but what is...  oh and far from being the last good album...
