Description
The first issues of this triple set are quite rare. These for a brief time has the single one piece, super-wide spine. This was quickly changed to a split double spine and a different opening format for the three superb Roger Dean artwork spreads. Originals opened in traditional ‘book’ style that follows through. Also originals included ‘Yes’ inner sleeves, later ones had plain white ones and the main cover was printed by Robor. Also the labels are darker and the vinyl heavier and sound invariably superior. Lastly, the matrixes all end in ‘1’, later ones had ‘2’s or higher digits.

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
