I was very pleased, but never pursued the band any further until their '83 "90125" release. Till a few weeks ago that still was pretty much my entire knowledge and Xperience with Yes. A friend mentioned how they had really enjoyed Yes back in the day. It peeked my interest and I started looking through their catalog. I saw this five album (cd) compilation and thought for the price it was a bargain and would give me some more Xposure in which to judge Yes by. I want to qualify the following comments by first saying I really have never been a big Yes fan. "Going For The One" '77 was a very competent well put together album. Found it hard to believe that I'd never heard anything from it before. I think anyone who likes "The Yes Album" would enjoy this release. There may not be anything quite as good as "The Yes Album" material on this release, but it’s very listenable. I like it. "Tormato" '78: The fact is, the album cover on this album is probably what turned me off from Xploring more of the Yes catalog back in my college years ('80s). Not that this says anything about the music on this album, but I just detested that cover. After listening to it, I really can't say anything bad about it...maybe not up to "The Yes Album" standards, but really not bad. I forgot to mention, I recently listened to "Close To The Edge" '72...and I do see why their fan base is not as pleased with these later '70s releases, but "Tormato" does stand on its own merit. "Drama" '80: I already had a preconceived notion that I would not really care for this album due to Anderson & Wakeman not being a part of it. I'm sure there are many a Yes fan who are not happy with this album, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much harder or heavier it sounded, while still retaining the basic Yes feel. This is my favorite find of the package deal. "90125" '83: This is just an awesome album, it veers from the early '70s Yes as it is more radio hits friendly than the long three or four part songs they had become known for. "Big Generator" '87: This is similar in make up to "90125", but just not as strong. Where almost every song on '90125" got some radio play on the AOR stations..."Big Generator" really only had a couple, maybe three songs that got much rotation on the radio stations I recall listening to during its release.I think for anyone who either knows they like Yes and just want to build their catalog or anyone who's unfamiliar and wants to find out for themselves...this is a good buy, good price for 4 good and 1 great album. Please know, that all but "Big Generator" were remastered and have bonus material back in 2003, but they will cost a little more. I actually liked what I heard so much, I'm probably going to go back and get the remastered versions with bonus material.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect
Excellent set of CDs and sound fast shipping no damage perfect
4.0 out of 5 stars One slice of a much bigger pie.
GOOD: super-affordable, kept simple, you get your money's wothBAD: later material, no bonus content (or extras of any kind)...Which describes 90% of the middling-sized anthologies out there.If you're in it for the prog or the extras, you'll be disappointed. If you want three hours of music that wasn't in your library before and you don't want the expense to sting, this is a winner.For me this is pretty fantastic, even if it wasn't what I was originally shopping for. I'm actually a fan of the big proggers' later material, because my patience for airy-fairy opera is thoroughly qualified. The only essentially complete discography I'm near possessing is Rush's, but apart from a few whoppers their catalog is a long way in substance from that of Yes or Genesis or King Crimson or Jethro Tull...Also, if you're like me and you think the bonus tracks on the 90125 reissue are garbage filler, you too will be perfectly happy to possess instead a reasonable rendition of the original album (which in this case is remastered, but has been available on CD from Day One).
5.0 out of 5 stars (Mostly) great condition, and good music.
I saw this album available online when I was actually shopping for progressive-rock cassette tapes. The amazingly good bargain, and for a collection which included, at least some, lesser-known (to me) Yes albums, was too good to pass up. I was well pleased with the (obviously brand-new -- still wrapped in its original cellophane) condition of this fine set -- except for one thing: after listening to all five discs all the way through the first time, with no trouble whatsover, nevertheless, on the second listen of the first album, Going For The One, I found that now the last song suddenly skipped and would not play all the way through. Luckily I was able to correct this problem with my own, poor-man's fixit method -- distilled water wiped across the surface of the disc with clean bathroom tissue (as I've been doing with many other, older, already owned CDs of mine, lately -- sometimes it helps, sometimes, not so much). But this did the trick for this CD, and now that disc -- and all the others -- play just fine -- thus saving me the trouble of returning the whole set for just one damaged disc. Five stars (now): a true, listening pleasure.
