Yes: Steve Howe (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Chris Squire (vocals, bass guitar); Jon Anderson (vocals); Rick Wakeman (grand piano, electric piano, organ, Mellotron, synthesizer); Bill Bruford (drums, percussion). FRAGILE marks the point when classically influenced progressive rockers Yes left planet Earth and took up residence on one of cover artist Roger Dean's far-off lands. The musical transition is apparent with longer instrumental passages taking over from the shorter song format of their early albums. Lengthy pieces open and close the album, and both songs have become Yes chestnuts. "Heart Of The Sunrise" and "Roundabout" are landmark tracks, with strong, darting solos and abrupt shifts, the latter winning more radio play for its greater accessibility. Without detracting from the exceptional work of messrs. Anderson, Howe, Bruford, and Wakeman, Chris Squire's rippling bass playing is a particularly superlative experience throughout.

Featuring musicianship that serves well crafted compositions in a variety of idioms, Yes Fragile is the progressive rock masterpiece of all time. Fragile drove the genre into popular consciousness and yielded the staples Roundabout and Long Distance Runaround. with this classic rock landmark, Yes established the foundation that later progressive groups would build upon. This 1972 lineup features the definitive roster of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick WAkeman, Chris Squire and Bill Bruford. This important album is now available from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab on Ultradisc II Gold CD with GAIN 2 Remastering.
