Yes - Yessongs Original 1973 UK Absolute 1st Pressing 3-LP Box Set - Rare Blue Title Variant (Atlantic K 60045, Complete with Logo Inners & Booklet)

An exceptional, complete vintage copy of a progressive rock milestone. This is the absolute first UK pressing of Yes’s landmark triple-live album Yessongs, released in 1973 on the historic orange and green Atlantic Records label.

This specific copy is a highly prized variant for serious collectors, featuring the rare blue-ink "Yessongs" typography on the front cover printed by Robor Ltd., which was quickly changed to black on all subsequent printings.

While the outer jacket shows distinct signs of its 50+ year journey, the high-value internal components have been beautifully preserved. The set comes 100% complete with its original detached 12" full-colour glossy stage photography booklet and all three authentic, custom text-patterned "Yes" logo inner paper sleeves intact a combination that is incredibly difficult to find together in any condition.

• Overall Grade: Very Good Plus (VG+) / Good (G)
• Vinyl Condition (VG+): All three 12" discs retain a beautiful original groove gloss under strict inspection. Shows minor cosmetic surface paper hair scuffs but absolutely no deep or feelable lines. Center labels are exceptionally clean with minimal spindle wear around the spindle holes. Expect a beautiful playback experience with only faint, standard background ambient dust crackle in quieter passages.
• Gatefold Cover & Panels (Good / G): Please note the sleeve condition carefully before purchasing. This is the definitive, rare blue-titled 4-panel Roger Dean concertina gatefold sleeve. The structure remains solid and intact, but it exhibits significant vintage shelf wear, including notable ring-rubbing, edge chipping, corner softening, and a visible paper scar/sticker removal mark on the upper right-hand corner of the front cover.
• Inner Materials & Insert (VG+): The original 12" glossy tour companion booklet is fully intact with only minimal handling wear at the edges. All three custom "Yes" logo inner sleeves are crisp, clean, and completely free of seam splits.
