It's the album's catalog number, nothing else. Interestingly the album
was to be 80102, but it was changed (anyone know why?)

It's the zipcode of a special waste-disposal area purchased by the members of
Yes to bury this disgrace. If you just drop it in your mailbox it will be
delivered, free of charge, never to punish unsuspecting ears again.

Look on the spine of the CD case. The CD label is 7 90125-2. I'm guessing
the vinyl catalog number is something similar.

Yep, "90125" is the catalog number of the original album release by
ATCO, also known as Atlantic Corporation Records or Atlantic Records.

You have the answer by now. The back of the European edition of the cd
for this album actually explains this. Interestingly enough, the us
release of "ABW&H" has 90126 as its catalog number, even though that was
on Arista. ;-)

Yes, that'd be 7 90125-1 and the tape version would be 7 90125-4, with
suffixes reserved for other formats as well. Most labels used this
suffix system, even though I'm not sure where it came from or why it was
implemented.

ATCO was actually a _label_ and as such not the same as _Atlantic_ even
though it was a trademark of Atlantic Recording Corporation. Atco has
since been dropped or actually merged into the EastWest label.

Disagree..."Changes" is cool. The acapella version "Leave it" is killer! I
got this album when it first came out. Didn't like it-gave it to my brother.
My brother turned around and bought me a ticket to see the 90125 tour. That
show impressed me enough tobuy the album again and give it another try. It's
actually a decent album.

For me, it's "Hearts" and "Hold On." The intro to "Changes" is OK, but to me
the rest of the song sounds like Foreigner. "Cinema" is nice, but I would
rather hear the 20-minute song it came from. The acapella version of "Leave It"
is great, although of course it's not on the album. And "OoaLH" will always
have sentimental value for me--as the song that started all this madness for
me...

pretty good one at that. Just because the bulk of the song is not prog does

Gee, the second time that happened they came out with an album called "Open Your

It's the fact that you can hear Rabin that ruins it utterly for Sullivan.

Yeah, that's it. That explains why I think 'Quartet' and 'Fist of Fire'
and 'Be the One' suck as badly. I'm so glad Rabin is inaudible on CInema
too, it helps explain why I like that one.

CHANGES is probably the best rock tune on the album. So, if *you*, the
SUPERIOR mind we have 'round here, thinks a song is NOT prog than it is
"godawful"?

Doesn't look like anyone's already answered this (if so, I missed
it)....if memory serves, it wasn't a zip code, but the serial number of
the record or some such thing (laura??)....
And 5150 is actually the Los Angeles police code for the criminally
insane....since somebody else asked about that one.... ;)

While I agree that the west yes is not my favorite, and I don't much care
for that era of the band,
I do know that the title of the 90125 album is named after the catologe
number for the album.

He`s right you know - just `cos it`s by Yes doesn`t make it any
good. Changes -is- shit and you all know it (but most of Big
Generator is worse).

I was making a joke with the zipcode and I wouldn't go so far as saying
that I hate _90125_. I really like the intro to "Changes", and "Cinema" is a
great instrumental. I find most of the album to rather disappointing.

I'm sure you got the real scoop by now. Anyway, whenever (not often) that
teenage soap opera on Fox was mentioned in a conversation, I would always
refer to it as Beverly Hills 90125. :-)
Of course the person defending the show would correct my error and not
have a clue that it was a pun.

Very good album! It's interesting that their most successful album seems to
get slammed by a lot of Yes fans. This is the album that got me into Yes in
the first place. I think it rocks (pardon).

Most successful? People forget that _Fragile_, _Close to the Edge_ and
_Relayer_ all charted better than _90125_.
As for total sales, _90125_ has gone three times platinum in the US,
while _Fragile_ has only gone double platinum and _CttE_ only single
platinum, but platinum awards were only introduced in 1976 and multi-
platinum only in 1984 -- I'm not certain about the rules, but I think
earlier sales for the '70s Yes albums thus don't get counted. I know
_90125_ has outsold _Fragile_ by a factor of 2.5 since 1991.

Waaah...the band's album doesn't sound like its previous ones! No fair!!!
Yes during the period of 90125 and Big Generator was, in essence, a different band. But one in the same brilliant league as the old, progressive, classically-influenced Yes.
And this is illustrated by the album Union.

Brilliant technical playing merged with concise song structures and a wonderful sense of melody.
