FOR THINGS WE AIM
ARE WE TO BLAME ?
Yes
is the
debut studio
album by
English Rock band
first released in
the UK
on
July, 25th 1969
and later
in the US
on
October,15th 1969
by Atlantic Records.
After forming
in the summer
of 1968,
the band
toured extensively
across the
United Kingdom
with sets comprising
both original material
and rearranged
cover versions.
They signed with
Atlantic in
March 1969,
and entered
Advision
and
Trident Studios
in London
to record
their first album.
Yes includes covers
of
"Every Little Thing"
by
The Beatles
and
"I See You"
by
The Byrds.
Yes
was positively
received
by critics in
the
United Kingdom
and
United States,
but was not
commercially successful
and failed to
chart in
either country.
Two singles
from the album
were released
: "Sweetness"
and
"Looking Around".
The album was remastered
in 1994
and
2003,
the latter containing
several
previously
unreleased tracks,
including a
rendition of
"Something's Coming"
from
West Side Story.
Background
In August 1968,
Yes formed with
a line-up of singer
bassist

Bill Bruford,
and
keyboardist
Tony Kaye;
the band played
their first gig

United Kingdom
extensively, playing
sets featuring
both original material

cover songs
from rock,
pop,
funk,
and
jazz artists.
Bruford left the band

at university,
with

original formation
in November 1968.
