Description: A beautifully fully signed first pressing of Yes's Close to the Edge album, signed by the full band--Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White--while in Los Angeles for a tour date in the mid-1970s. A friend of Recordmecca's Jeff Gold knew the band, and had this signed for him when they played the Forum; it has been in his collection ever since. The signatures, inside the album cover gatefold, have been authenticated by music autograph expert Roger Epperson, whose Certificate of Authenticity is Included, as is Recordmecca's written lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Cover, disc and custom innersleeve are all in Near Mint condition. A scarce set of vintage Yes autographs on arguably their best loved album. We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked. Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition. See our other listings for more from this fantastic collection.
