The cover of Yes's Yesterdays compilation album, illustrated by Roger Dean, depicts a surreal landscape with twisted, tree-like formations framing a serene sky transitioning from blue to orange. A distant, ethereal creature appears to soar in the background, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere. The organic shapes and vibrant colors complement the album’s retrospective theme, reflecting the band’s unique and imaginative style.

Album Description:

Yes's "Yesterdays" is a 1974 compilation album that features some of the band's earlier works. The album was released in the midst of the band's most commercially successful period, following the release of their hit album "Fragile" and the single "Roundabout".

The album includes tracks from the band's first two albums, as well as a few previously unreleased songs. It features the band's signature blend of progressive rock and classical influences, with intricate instrumental passages, complex time signatures, and soaring vocal harmonies.

Highlights of the album include the classic Yes songs "America", "Time and a Word". The album also includes the previously unreleased track "Dear Father", which features a more somber and introspective tone than some of the band's more bombastic and energetic tracks.

Despite being a compilation album, "Yesterdays" still manages to showcase the technical and creative abilities of the band. The album also helped to introduce Yes to a new generation of listeners and cemented their place in the progressive rock pantheon.

The album was released on 12" vinyl LP and was produced by Yes and Eddie Offord. The album cover features a painting by Roger Dean, the artist responsible for many of Yes's most iconic album covers.
