Yes - Drama (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1980 | Gatefold)

Yes – Drama was released in 1980 and marks a bold turning point: Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of The Buggles replace Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman and give the band a sharper, more urgent sound without cutting its progressive roots. Highlights are “Machine Messiah”, “Into The Lens” and “Tempus Fugit”.

On offer is the German original pressing from 1980 on Atlantic (ATL 50 736 / SD 16019) in a gatefold sleeve with original inner sleeve.
