"Classic Yes" album question...

I remember the vinyl version of this album had a 45 included with two extra songs- live versions of "Roundabout" and "I've seen all good people".

These two extra songs are not listed on the cd version. Would anyone know where or on which album these two songs appear so I can buy it?

Thanks in advance.

None of the Yes recordings from the 70's were "audiophile" quality. They sounded OK, but not great. I thinkt hey were more interested in the music rather than the sonics.

Xiekitchen,
Do you know the catalogue number of the UK pressing? And how is the Mobile Fidelity pressing?

Baloney.

"Fragile" and "The Yes Album" are wonderful.

Xiekitchen,
Thanks for clarifying that. Yes, my US pressing is just shy of unlistenable.... We Have Heaven and Cans and Brahms, for example, sound full of clipping distortion, and Roundabout is full of spitty, ragged sibilants. It's as if nobody listened to the thing before shipping it. How's the CD, then?

If your copy is "unlistenable" I suggest you have a tonearm/cartridge alignment problem or mismatched components.

Using a number of tonearm and cartridge combinations here, the passages you cite track perfectly and without sibilance.

If your copy is a reissue, that's a different story as most of them suck. If it's an original issue, see my opening comments.

thanks
