Close to the Edge is the fifth studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released on this day in 1972 on Atlantic Records.
It peaked at #3 in the United States and #4 in the United Kingdom. The album is certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling over one million copies. It contains only three "songs": the multi-movement title track which covers all of side one, with "And You And I", and "Siberian Khatru" on the B-side.
Close to the Edge is ranked #1 in Prog Archives's top album list, with an average rank of 4.65 stars. It is considered by many the greatest prog album of all time.
