Fragile (Special Expanded Edition)

'Fragile' was the amazing fourth album from Yes, and was originally released in 1971. This superior 2003 digital re-master includes two bonus tracks - "America" and an alternate version of "Roundabout".

Band: Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman

"A true classic, 'Fragile' was the first Yes release to feature keyboard extraordinaire, Rick Wakeman who joined in 1971. He added a neo-classical touch to the Yes sound which rocketed them further into the musical stratosphere.

The jaw-droppingly good bass playing of Chris Squire features heavily in the incredible "Heart of the Sunrise" and of course his bass solo track "The Fish" (All five members contribute a solo piece on 'Fragile').

The vibrant "South Side of the Sky' is on here as well - inexplicably it had been almost totally neglected in live set lists (until 2002!). The single version of "Roundabout" however was the much needed hit that put Yes into the huge stadium tours status and they have performed the song at every concert ever since!"

Undoubtedly the longest lasting and the most successful of the '70s progressive rock groups, Yes proved to be one of the major success stories from the genre.

The band overcame a generational shift in its audience and departure of band members at key points in its history, yet arrived at the end of the Century as "the definitive progressive rock band".

Here we present their "classic" albums, expanded and remastered and available at mid-price for the first time!!!
