Handwritten lyrics by Jon Anderson for the Yes song ‘Astral Traveller,’ the seventh track from the band’s second studio album, Time and a Word, which was released on July 24, 1970. The lyrics, unsigned, penned in black ink on an off-white 6 x 8 sheet, read in part (spelling retained): “And in the ruins of the balloon / stood a man with glasses held high / wondering when to do it again / have another fly into the sky / somewhere flying high / Asteral traveller leaving without her / Wandering where lights go leave out the body load.” Includes two typed sets of lyrics for the song, one of which is annotated, and a vintage glossy 9.75 x 8 Atlantic Records promotional photo of Yes. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
Originates from the collection of Roy Flynn, the former manager of Yes.
