Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
Going for the One is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 15 July 1977 by Atlantic Records. The album was recorded in Switzerland after their extended break for each member to release a solo album and their 1976 North America tour. It marks the departure of keyboardist Patrick Moraz and the return of Rick Wakeman, who had left to pursue his solo career after differences surrounding Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973). Formed of five tracks with no unifying theme or concept, the album saw Yes produce more accessible and concise songs with the fifteen-minute "Awaken", recording with new producers and cover designers in the process.

Going for the One was a commercial success and received a mostly-positive response from critics. It went to number one on the UK Albums Chart for two weeks and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Two singles were released, "Wonderous Stories" and "Going for the One", which went to number 7 and 24 in the UK, respectively. Going for the One was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for 500,000 copies sold in the United States. A remastered edition was released in 2003 that contains several previously unreleased tracks from the album's recording sessions. Yes supported the album with a six-month tour of North America and Europe.
