Released in 2006, the definitive title "HANDLE WITH CARE" (Sirene) from the valuable "FRAGILE" tour, in which Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman were on the band at the same time, is not only highly valuable, but also The quality of the content created a great response among fans, and the event sold out in an instant. As it is the definitive tour edition, it is a title that many Yes fans have requested for re-release. To commemorate the release of the titles ``DEFINITIVE NAGOYA'' and ``CLOSE TO THE END'' when Jesus came to Japan, we have released the masterpiece ``HANDLE WITH CARE'', which records the best moments in YES's history with the highest sound quality. We have decided to release it as a gift with a new jacket. For fans who haven't heard it yet, please take this opportunity to enjoy this must-hear masterpiece, which is sure to become a "one-of-a-lifetime" piece. Disc 1 includes a complete recording of approximately 48 minutes of the San Bernandino performance in California on March 17, 1972 with an ultra-high quality audience recording. It's a short set because the time is limited due to the show with Black Sabbath and Wild Turkey, but the content is amazing. From the opening song, Roundabout, you can't help but listen to Bill's drumming, which is full of dynamism. His wild and free-spirited drumming, which was completely different from the neat drumming on the album, may have been a bit of an unusual presence at this time in Yes Music, which prioritized disciplined ensembles. I don't know. At the same time, Rick, Steve, and Chris's playing, which hits the roaring bass notes in all directions, is amazing, and you can enjoy a number of unprecedented plays that can only be seen at the peak. Of course, the vocals are also recorded very clearly, and the sound balance is excellent. The hard part of the first half of Heart Of The Sunrise is overwhelmed by the advanced ensemble like acrobatics. Everyone will be captivated by Bill's creative drumming during the quiet vocal parts. The texture of Rick and Bill in the middle is also not the same since 1973, so you can listen to the best moment. Steve's mistone at 9:16 is also charming. Bill's free-for-all play at the final vocal denouement is also the best. The power that Steve's Clap continues, and the strong and mature Perpetual Change are also the best words. The sound is so good that it feels like an official live performance. Bill also focuses on the ensemble drumming in this song. You can enjoy the moment when a young genius musician is creating something amazing, as he repeats the familiar phrase endlessly from the 5-minute mark to the 7-minute mark. And the biggest climax of this album is Bill's long drum solo that comes around 10 minutes. It is recorded as beautifully as a line recording, and it is worth getting just to listen to this part. From around the 12 minute mark, the bass and guitar join in, leading to an improvisation-like part. The last song I’ve Seen All Good People can also enjoy a great groove feeling. Instead, Disc 2 contains approximately 63 minutes of the Academy of Music performance in New York on November 24, 1971. This is another surprising recording that has recently appeared, and it is recorded with a very good audience recording, comparable to the San Bernardino performance. Is there a little bit of separation at first? However, as the song progresses, the sound changes to an unusual level. In any case, there was no sound quality of this level from this tour, so fans are definitely a must-listen. The sound balance is also perfect, and it can be said that this is another ultra sound source that all Yes fans must listen to. Rick's piano intro followed by Long Distance Runaround, The Fish featuring Chris's bass (the building and hard play in the second half are a must-listen part!), and the big song Perpetual Change, which is a spectacular instrumental battle including a drum solo. You can listen to the spectacular Yours Is No Disgrace, which is full of groove. The way he takes the solo with all his heart as if possessed by something in Yours Is No Disgrace is amazing. This is the ultimate piece that can now be declared the strongest Yes live album in history. Disc 1 Live at Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA. USA 17th March 1972 1. Firebird Suite 2.
