Title: A good introduction, or all the Yes the casual fan needs
Review: If you love the bombastic Yes singles that you hear on the classic rock station, but just can't get into the extended compositions on the albums, then this collection ought to do the trick for you. The hits are here; the few obscurities are well-chosen; and the duds (like from off of _Tormato_) are avoided. This stripped-down setting portrays the band's truly amazing instrumental virtuosity to all the better effect. It also testifies to their durability, tracing their career from late '60s mysticism, high baroque art-rock, to MTV pop smarts. This is only a part of Yes' career, but if the singles are the part that interest you, this is the disk to get.
