Erst Jahre nachdem ich mir das "The Yes Album" gekauft habe ist mir aufgefallen dass an dieser italienischen Pressung etwas anders war. Die Aufschrift hatten sie - warum auch immer - auf "The Yes" geändert. Ich habe auf dem Foto unten beide zum Vergleich übereinander gelegt.

Steve Howe über "The Yes Album":

"We would get a song to a certain point in the rehearsal room then put it on a cassette then later on a Revox quarter inch tape machine so we would have a version or bits of it. Then we would just make it about a hundred per cent better, we would streamline it, cut this and that, get the track down. There was just the embryo of an album when we collaborated on things like 'Starship Trooper' and 'Yours Is No Disgrace'. I was finding my feet. The best thing they ever said to me when I had written this instrumental called Clap was that I should stick it on the album. So I thought, 'Right, I’m sticking this on the album!'"
