Yes : Yes

Yes

 is the first 

studio album

 from the

 English rock band 

Yes

 released on

  July 25, 1969

 by Atlantic Records. 

Recorded during

 the first year

 of their formation, 

the album displays

 the band's early 

musical direction of

performing rearranged 

cover versions of songs

 by pop, jazz, 

and folk artists. 

The album includes 

covers of

 "Every Little Thing"

 by The Beatles 

and

 "I See You"

 by

 The Byrds

 and 

original material, 

much of which was 

written by singer 

Jon Anderson.

The original line-up 

of vocalist 

Jon Anderson,

 bassist

 Chris Squire, 

guitarist 

Peter Banks, 

keyboardist 

Tony Kaye, 

and drummer

 Bill Bruford 

remained intact for

 the album's recording. 

In March 1969, 

New Musical Express

 announced that

 Yes had signed a 

recording contract

 with Atlantic Records.

Anderson is credited on

 the original LP as

 "John Anderson" 

as he hadn't adopted the

 "Jon" 

spelling at that time.
