1. General Information Artist: Yes Album: Yessongs (Volume 1) Format: 8-Track Cartridge (Triple Play) Label: Atlantic Catalog #: TP 3-100 Release Year: c. 1975 (Reissue) Country: USA 2. Description Yessongs is the definitive live document of Yes at the height of their progressive rock powers. Recorded during the Fragile and Close to the Edge tours in 1972, this album captures the classic lineup (with both Bill Bruford and Alan White on drums across different tracks) delivering virtuosic performances. This specific 8-track is Volume 1 of the "Triple Play" set, featuring a unique track configuration to accommodate the 8-track format's four programs. It includes the iconic "Opening" (from Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite), a powerhouse version of "Siberian Khatru," and the essential "Heart Of The Sunrise." The cover features the breathtaking otherworldly landscape art by Roger Dean, which has become synonymous with the band’s aesthetic. 3. Condition Status: Factory Sealed / New Old Stock (NOS) Shrink Wrap: Fully intact with no major tears or venting issues visible. Cartridge/Label: Presumed Mint (M) as the item has never been opened or played. Slipcase/Cover: Excellent condition under the wrap, with sharp corners and vibrant colors. 4. Notes for Collectors This is a mid-70s reissue. Collectors can identify this version by the 75 Rockefeller Plaza address on the back (Atlantic moved here from 1841 Broadway in late 1973) and the Warner Communications logo (the 'w' in a circle), which began appearing on Atlantic releases around 1975. Finding these 8-tracks in a factory-sealed state is increasingly difficult, as the adhesive on the pressure pads and sensing foil in 8-tracks typically degrades over 50 years; however, as a "New Old Stock" item, it remains a top-tier piece for a display collection. 5. Matrix / Labels Manufacturing: Manufactured by Atlantic Recording Corporation, 75 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY. Logo: Features the Atlantic "Fan" logo and the Warner Communications "w" logo on the rear slip. Tape Type: Triple Play (extended length cartridge).
