TIME AND A WORD
Time and a Word is the second album by progressive rock band Yes, released in mid-1970 in the UK and November 1970 in the US. This was the last Yes album to feature the group’s original line-up, as Peter Banks was fired before the album's release. Time and a Word reached No. 45 in the UK. (More from Wikipedia)
When I spotted this album. Time and a Word in a used record bin decades ago, I had to really look at it before I could believe that this is the same Yes who had all those album covers with colorful fantasy paintings. As I paid for it, I asked the man at the counter whether this album was as rare as I thought it was. “It is scarce, but not rare”, was his reply; and to be sure, I have seen the album a few times since.
