I love this one, their duets are amazing. The DCC Gold version is hard to get and mucho $$$, but the DCC Silver disc is just as good and you can get it for cheap on the other forum.

I can't resist chipping in!

It's difficult to recommend any single Yes album as a starting point, because they all contain a song or two which haven't stood the test of time, and may put you off.

So, try the following accessible songs:

The Yes Album: Starship Trooper
Close to the Edge: And You and I
Going for the One: Wonderous Stories

and work out from there to the heavyweights, e.g.: Fragile: Heart of the Sunrise, Close to the Edge: Close to the Edge, Going for the One: Awaken, Tales from Topographic Oceans.

I started with Fragile and the wonderful opener Roundabout so I would suggest..

The Yes Album
Fragile
Going For the One

Do Not Touch..

Relayer
Tales Of Topographic Oceans
Close To The Edge


Until you know you like Yes and want to investigate more.
