Yes: Close To The Edge – LP

Yes are an English rock band and key pioneers of the progressive rock movement.

Singer Jon Anderson and bassist Chris Squire formed the band in London in 1968.

Anderson had already recorded a single with The Warriors, a beat group formed by his brother Tony, and later released several singles for Parlophone Records under the pseudonym Hans Christian. He was also briefly a member of Gun.

Squire was a member of The Syn, and his bass playing style was heavily influenced by John Entwistle of The Who.

Their self-titled debut album, Yes, was released on 25 July 1969. The vocal harmonies of Anderson and Squire instantly became the band's signature sound.
