Collectively these and other works represent the best British progressive rock had to offer. Yet, many reviewers cite Close to the Edge as the ultimate Prog rock album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor and music journalist Will Romano writes: \"Yes had previously penned epic tracks for The Yes Album and Fragile, but nothing on the magnitude of the musical gems appearing on Close to the Edge. It's something of a small miracle — perhaps even magic — that the virtuoso quintet crafted such a cohesive and compelling album during an often-hectic recording process that very nearly relegated this monumental work to the dustbin of history.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's centrepiece is the 18-minute title track, with themes and lyrics inspired by the Herman Hesse novel Siddhartha. Side two contains two non-conceptual tracks, the folk-inspired \"And You and I\" and the comparatively straightforward rocker \"Siberian Khatru.\" Original drummer Bill Bruford found the album particularly laborious to make, which culminated in his decision to quit the band after it was recorded, to join King Crimson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose to the Edge became the band's greatest commercial success at the time of release. It peaked at No. 4 on the U.K. Albums Chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, the highest position Yes has reached on the latter chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, Close to the Edge was ranked at No. 445 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.

Evan would go on to play on all of Jethro Tull's albums throughout the '70s. It was also the last to include Cornick, who was fired from the band upon completion of touring for the album. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Morgan Studios, where the band recorded Stand Up, the album featured more advanced studio techniques, such as a backward-recorded flute on \"With You There To Help Me\" and a sped-up guitar on \"Play In Time.\" Frontman Ian Anderson said Evan had changed the band's style: \"John has added a new dimension musically and I can write more freely now. In fact anything is possible with him at the keyboard.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to Stand Up, although containing a similar mix of bluesy hard-rockers and melodic acoustic numbers, Benefit had, as Ian Anderson put it, a \"harder, slightly darker feel\" compared to previous material. The eclectic fusion of folk, rock, and progressive elements creates a sonic tapestry unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnderson's virtuosic flute playing intertwines with Barre's electrifying guitar work, weaving intricate melodies that transport listeners to a world of introspection and imagination. From the hauntingly beautiful \"With You There to Help Me\" to the whimsical energy of \"To Cry You a Song,\" each track invites exploration of both the inner self and the world beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Analogue Productions 45 RPM release, plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings, gives this historic album the rich sonic presentation it deserves. The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately.  This release duplicates the gatefold jacket used in the U.K.; it uses the original U.S. song order and track listing, with the addition at the end of LP2 Side B, of the bonus track \"Alive And Well And Living In\" from the U.K. version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenefit stands as a testament to Jethro Tull's pioneering spirit, pushing the boundaries of musical expression and leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of rock music.
