90125

Yes released *90125* in 1983, an album that marked a break from their past. After a hiatus from recording together, they returned to a London studio between November 1982 and May 1983. The band was no longer the same: there were new members, such as South African guitarist Trevor Rabin, and some old ones had returned, like Jon Anderson and Tony Kaye, who had been with them before in 1971.

About the album

90125, according to DoReSol

The album’s name was nothing special; it was the catalog code for Atco Records, the label that released it. But the sound certainly was. “Owner of a Lonely Heart” was the first track to reach number one in the United States, something that had never happened before. That hit propelled the album into the top five of the album charts, and it ended up selling over three million copies there—a feat the band had never achieved before.

The rest of the songs were also well received. “It Can Happen” and “Leave It” reached high positions on the charts. The album lasted 44 minutes and 34 seconds and was recorded in two London studios. It was the first Yes album to sell in large quantities and the one most frequently played on the radio.
