Fragile was released on 26 November 1971 on Atlantic Records. It was YES‘ first album recorded with keyboardist Rick Wakeman after the departure of Tony Kaye earlier in the year. It consists of nine tracks, four of which are group performances while five are solo features written by each member. Fragile is YES‘ first collaboration with artist Roger Dean, who would design their logo and many of their future covers.
The LP’s accompanying promotional booklet contains two additional Dean paintings; the front cover depicts five creatures huddled under a root system; the back cover depicts a person climbing up a rock formation. The inside shows several photographs of the band with an individual page dedicated to each member, with smaller illustrations and photographs of their wives and children. Anderson’s page contains a short poem, while Wakeman contains a list of acknowledgements, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The White Bear pub in Hounslow, and Brentford F.C.
“Roundabout” was released as a single in the U.S. and is one of the band’s best-known songs. The album is certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling over two million copies.
