''Time and a Word'' is the second album by progressive rock band Yes, released on 24 July 1970 in the UK and in November 1970 in the U.S. This was the last Yes album to feature the group's original line-up, as Peter Banks was fired before the album's release. ''Time and a Word'' (Atlantic 2400 006) reached No. 45 in the UK. The North American release of the album (Atlantic SD 8273) did not chart. ==The album== Jon Anderson's decision to use a live orchestra on most of the album's songs (as he reported in the ''Yesyears'' video) put him very much at odds with Peter Banks. Tensions within the band increased, and just after the album's recording was completed in early 1970, Banks was asked to leave. Steve Howe would join the line-up that March, replacing Banks. The album includes two songs Anderson wrote with David Foster, a former bandmate in The Warriors. ''Time and a Words use of a studio orchestra seemed intrusive to some critics, and the album was received in a lukewarm fashion (UK No. 45, Yes' first chart entry at home). The opening track contains an orchestral intro to Richie Havens' song "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed", featuring a main theme from the 1958 film ''The Big Country'' by Jerome Moross. Also, the track "The Prophet" borrows from Gustav Holst's "Jupiter" from the ''Planets Suite''. The album was recorded at Advision Studios in West London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Time and a Word」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
