Description: YES – YESTERDAYS - JAPAN OBI REPLICA LP IN A CD (sealed). WHAT IS A JAPAN "MINI/REPLICA-LP-SLEEVE" CD? Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece.

After reeling off 5 consecutive top ten records from 1972-1974, Yes took a 3-year break from recording; to fill the gap they released "Yesterdays," a compilation of highlights from the first two records with some extras thrown in. Most of the tracks feature the original lineup (Anderson/Bruford/Kaye/Squire/Banks), with only the Simon & Garfunkel cover 'America' featuring guitarist Steve Howe and keyboardist Rick Wakeman. While the 10-minute "America" is the standout track, other highlights include the mini-epic "Survival," the groovy "Looking Around," the ballad "Time and a Word" and the dynamic "Then." Yes' early work exhibits influences from the Beatles and other mod/British invasion bands, as well as American folk/rock artists like Simon & Garfunkel, Richie Havens, and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Most of the "Time And a Word" songs feature an orchestra, which adds a touch of grandeur to the band's sound and signals the symphonic development of their music.Original members Tony Kaye (organ) and Peter Banks (guitar) acquit themselves nicely. In particular, Kaye's organ work is stellar. It's a shame he couldn't make the transition to synthesizer that Yes' ambitions required.This was my introduction to early Yes, and convinced me to acquire the first two albums. The Roger Dean cover is a classic (look for the irreverent humour on the back). "Yesterdays" is a throwback to the days of vinyl, when constraints on running time required tough choices that generated spirited debates among fans.1. America2. Looking Around3. Time and a Word4.
