Yes is the debut studio album by English rock band Yes, first released in the UK on 25 July 1969[2] and later in the US on 15 October 1969 by Atlantic Records.[3][4] After forming in the summer of 1968, the band toured extensively across the United Kingdom with sets comprising both original material and rearranged cover versions. They signed with Atlantic in March 1969, and entered Advision and Trident Studios in London to record their first album. Yes includes covers of "Every Little Thing" by the Beatles and "I See You" by the Byrds.

Yes was positively received by critics in the United Kingdom and United States, but was not commercially successful and failed to chart in either country. Two singles from the album were released: "Sweetness" and "Looking Around". The album was remastered in 1994 and 2003, the latter containing several previously unreleased tracks, including a rendition of "Something's Coming" from West Side Story.
