Yes - Yesterdays

Yesterdays is a compilation album by English progressive rock band Yes, originally released in February 1975 by Atlantic Records.

Yesterdays is a compilation of songs from Yes‘s first two studio albums Yes (1969) and Time And A Word (1970) plus one new song which is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel´s America. America was recorded in 1971 and had already appeared on the the Atlantic Records sampler album The New Age Of Atlantic, but for most Yes fans this was their first opportunity to hear the song.

The song selection is really good. Favorites like Time And A Word, Then, Astral Traveller and Survival are present on this compilation in addition to the 10 minute version of America.

As far as compilation albums go this one is an excellent and highly recommendable album.
