A delightful term of endearment shared with me by a scouce mate from uni as I had my first trip across the Mersey. He had to explain it to the soft southern jessey with him!

If there was such a thing as a "Six Star" review then this would get it. Soul perfection.

AMG seem a bit 50-50 with it, 3 stars.

I guess it sort of depends just how much you like Yes - they can be a bit 'marmite' to some tastes.

More in keeping with 'Going for the One' perhaps than some of their other later output, and a couple of outstanding tracks - I just love 9 voices, & 'If only you knew' is a bit of a Yes type anthem.
Well worth a listen on Spotify if your a fan.
I think it works well as an album - but then I think Close to the Edge is sublime..

Sounds good enough to me, I'll investigate.
