In December 1977, the Yes line-up of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White and Rick Wakeman wrapped their 1977 tour of North America and Europe in support of their eighth album, Going for the One (1977). Tormato was remastered in 2004 containing previously unreleased tracks from the album's recording sessions. The band's 1978–1979 tour was their first with concerts performed in the round on a central revolving stage. " Don't Kill the Whale" was released as a single that reached No. 10 in the US, where it became the band's fastest selling album and reached platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America within two months for selling one million copies. The album received a mixed response from critics yet it became a commercial success. The album was affected by various problems, such as internal disputes over the direction of the music and artwork, and the departure of engineer Eddy Offord early into the sessions, resulting in the group producing the album themselves. After touring their previous album Going for the One (1977), the band entered rehearsals in London to record a follow-up. It was released on 22 September 1978 on Atlantic Records, and is their last album with singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman before their departure from the group in 1980.
Tormato is the ninth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes.
