Yesterdays (Yes album)

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Music ratings 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), "Dear Father" their 1970 B-side of the single "Sweet Dreams", 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.
