Classic Yes is the second compilation album by British progressive rock group Yes.
Originally released as a single LP with a bonus 7-inch 33 1⁄3 RPM disc featuring live versions of "Roundabout" and "I've Seen All Good People" from 1978, everything has been compiled onto one CD. It was taken out of circulation by 2003.
Atlantic Records cassette tape CR 19320 has bonus tracks "Roundabout" as the last selection on side one and "I've Seen All Good People" as last selection on side two.
Atlantic Records also released in Brazil a similar single LP including the bonus tracks from the single 7-inch disc. Side one was the same, side two included "I've Seen All Good People", "Roundabout" and "And You And I" (Atlantic 20.072, distributed by EMI-ODEON).
Although it was initially not a strong seller, Classic Yes ultimately went platinum in the US and still remains an ideal entry point for Yes novices.
Classic Yes (Atlantic K 50842) failed to chart in the UK. It reached #142 in the US during a chart stay of 5 weeks.
