Description
Close to the Edge: A Masterpiece of Prog Rock In 1972, Yes released a three-track masterpiece that would forever change the face of progressive rock. This album, Close to the Edge, is a testament to the band's innovative spirit and musical prowess. Through dozens of original and archived interviews, rare photographs, and an extensive discography, acclaimed music journalist Will Romano explores the reasons behind this album's enduring impact. The recording process for Close to the Edge was marked by both creative genius and chaos. Despite the challenges they faced, the band managed to craft an album that is both expansive and concise, spiritual and savage, profound and nebulous. This remarkable achievement has left a lasting legacy on the world of rock music, and this book provides a unique insight into its creation and significance.
