Yesterdays (Yes album)
Yesterdays is the first compilation album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released in February 1975 on Atlantic Records. It consists of material previously recorded for the band's first two studio albums, Yes (1969) and Time and a Word (1970), their 1970 B-side "Dear Father", and the full version of their cover of "America" by Simon & Garfunkel. "America" was previously unreleased on a Yes album having only been released on an Atlantic Records' sampler album "The New Age of Atlantic" in 1972 (the inner sleeve note that it was on that album's predecessor "The Age of Atlantic" is incorrect). Yesterdays is the last Yes album to feature cover artwork by Roger Dean until the 1980 album Drama.
