Going for the One

Yes
Released 1977Rock
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A tighter, more focused prog peak. Tuneful and acclaimed. A strong late record. Released in 1977, it's one of Yes's later high points.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
