YOURS IS NO DISGRACE
"Yours Is No Disgrace" is a song by English progressive rock band Yes, that first appeared as the opening song of their 1971 album The Yes Album. The song has been a regular feature of Yes' live shows and has also appeared on many live and compilation albums. "Yours Is No Disgrace" is a long song, taking almost 10 minutes in its original incarnation on The Yes Album. (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. This is actually their second album and came out in mid-1970. That was just seven months before the release of what most people probably think of as Yes' first album, The Yes Album, which included their first hit songs, "Yours Is No Disgrace" and "I've Seen All Good People".
