About this album

Going For The One shows Yes reasserting their progressive-rock credentials with greater focus and punch. Issued in 1977 after the expansive Relayer, the album brought the classic line-up back to a brighter, more direct sound, with Trevor Horn and producer Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman helping drive its renewed energy. The title track, the choral lift of Wonderous Stories and the long-form grandeur of Awaken highlight a band balancing FM-friendly immediacy with the symphonic scale that defined their reputation. It became one of the group’s most successful late-1970s albums and remains a key statement in their catalogue.

Genre: Pop & Rock
