Yes - The Yes Album - Original Presswell First Press 1971 Atlantic SD 8283

NM- Vinyl / VG+ Gatefold Cover. Excellent Plus Plus playback and sound - a few light pop-clicks on both sides and some mild background noise in quite passages yet an exceptional and special play that delivers that first pressing delight even though it may be a bit less than perfect. Sparkling vinyl with a few isolated light surface rubs and a few light hairline handling scuffs/sleeve pull marks - a visual NM Minus grade and an audible EX++ grade to be exact in grading this. Cover has some tape on bottom corner and light shelf wear with an eroded through lower edge. Original inner paper sleeve has taped seams. (PR) PRESSWELL original pressing. The first press of this title has a very punchy nature and spirit one can hear the 'growl' of the amplifiers that is somewhat lacking in the digital issues as well as the analog reissues. Nice copies of this are getting hard to come by. Have a listen here.
