From topping the charts to epic pieces taking up a
side of vinyl, and even both at the same time,
Yes are among of the longest lasting and the most
successful of the '70s progressive rock groups,
proving to be one of the lasting success stories
from that musical genre. The band, founded in
1968, overcame a generational shift in its
audience and the departure of its most visible
members at key points in its history to reach the
end of the century as the definitive progressive
rock band.

'I wanted to hear something inspiring.' With
Fragile, Yes vocalist Jon Anderson's desire was
fulfilled to an extent even he likely couldn't
have imagined. The band's breakthrough album marks
a number of important firsts not just for the
group but for how popular music could be
approached. It also represents the all-important
debut of keyboardist Rick Wakeman, a complete
rethinking of the relationship between classical
devices, idyllic fantasies, and traditional
structures, and the arrival of progressive rock as
a mainstream force. Fragile also opened the door
to the quintet's long-term partnership with
illustrator Roger Dean, whose cover painting and
gatefold-sleeve artwork remains as cherished by
music lovers as the audiophile-quality production.
Neither facet has ever been experienced in finer
form as on this collectable set.

Strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies and
pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, Mobile
Fidelity's ultra-hi-fi UltraDisc One-Step 180g
45RPM 2LP collector's edition presents Fragile
with exacting sonics and unsurpassed visuals.
Prized for decades for its brilliant textures,
harmonics, dynamics, colors, and openness, the
1971 album now comes across with surreal
transparency, multi-dimensional scope, and
seemingly unlimited responsiveness. Such qualities
transform the band's recorded instruments into
the equivalent of live guitars, basses, drums, and
keyboards playing in your room. Critical aural
traits ? focus, pace, crispness, imaging, balance,
depth, weight, scale ? bring you face-to-face
with the songs' daredevil complexities and emerge
in abundance. The distinctive tonal
characteristics directly tied to Fragile ? be it
the inimitable bounce of Chris Squire's
groundbreaking bass, Anderson's high-register
singing, or drummer Bill Bruford's padded snare ?
flourish. Such is the allure of UD1S and MoFi
SuperVinyl.

Developed by NEOTECH and RTI, MoFi SuperVinyl is
the most exacting-to-specification vinyl compound
ever devised. Analog lovers have never seen (or
heard) anything like it. Extraordinarily expensive
and extremely painstaking to produce, the special
proprietary compound addresses two specific areas
of improvement: noise floor reduction and
enhanced groove definition. The vinyl composition
features a new carbonless dye (hold the disc up to
the light and see) and produces the world's
quietest surfaces. This high-definition formula
also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves
that are indistinguishable from the original
lacquer. MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest
approximation of what the label's engineers hear
in the mastering lab.

The lavish packaging and gorgeous presentation of
the UD1S Fragile pressing also befit its extremely
select status. Housed in a deluxe box, it
features special foil-stamped jackets and
faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate
the splendor of the recording. No expense has been
spared. Aurally and visually, this UD1S reissue
exists as a curatorial artifact meant to be
preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It
is made for discerning listeners that prize sound
quality and production, and who desire to fully
immerse themselves in the art ? and everything
involved with the album, from the images to the
finishes.

Indeed, the minute you remove the shrink wrap from
the box, you'll pore over Dean's meticulous
science-fiction sketches as you pull the first LP
out of its foil-stamped jacket and drop your
tonearm into the lead-in grooves. A rising Moog
chord serves as the cue, Howe's romantic
acoustic-guitar passage functions as the gateway,
and the English legends dive into 'Roundabout' ? a
lead-off track for the ages. The hit signaled Yes
had evolved into a collective that merged bold
ambition, technical virtuosity, and contagious
melody in a manner none of its contemporaries
managed.

Writer and Yes scholar Bill Martin didn't miss the
significance of 'Roundabout,' which holds the key
to unlocking all the adventures that follow on
the album. In the liner notes to the record's
long-ago deluxe CD reissue, he observes, 'All of
the Yes elements are here: inventiveness,
sweetness, and wistfulness, bright colors that are
more Sibelius and Stravinsky than ?pop,' and not
without an edge.'

Such combinations of alluring symphonies and
jagged drive repeatedly surface on Fragile, no
more obviously than on 'South Side of the Sky,' an
epic about a tragic polar expedition the quintet
plays with a riveting intensity, impeccable
control, and staggered progression that renders
the narrative's otherworldly landscapes in
technicolor. Or witness the similarly beloved
'Long Distance Runaround,' a spring-loaded
escapade that in addition to its concision, weds
jazz, classical, psychedelic, arena rock, and
cerebral aural and literary forms together in a
mesmerizing whole.

Fragile is further boosted by five solo-conceived
works ? one per member ? that double as stitching
within the larger group-conceived canvas. Each
composition emerges as a showcase for visionary
conceptions and staggering performance ability.
Squire's 'The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)'
stands as an archetypal example of prog prowess as
well as a creation that takes the bass guitar
into realms still demanding further exploration.
Steve Howe's warm, vibrant 'Mood for a Day' is its
equal, and a guitar workout that dovetails with
Wakeman's 'Cans and Brahms' ? an evocative
piano-based adaptation of Brahms' Symphony No. 4.
