Yes! Yes! Yes! The Owner of A Lonely Heart and 10,000 other Yes items

Most men can remember when they first experienced the thrill of rock 'n' roll. Glenn Gottlieb borrowed the Yes album Fragile from his older brother when he was in fifth grade, & he was hooked. Today Gottlieb is at the forefront of an underworld of Yes memorabilia collectors, dedicated fans of the geriatric prog band who fuel an entire microcosmic Yes economy. Gottlieb owns more tha 10,000 items, ticket stubs, posters, Slurpee cups, photos, LPs. He also publishes Yes Magazine & contributes to Yesworld.com. "I'm kind of an addict," says Gottlieb, a 37-year-old graphic designer in Huntington, New York. "It can be a bit much at times. I try to keep it on the healthy side. If there's something out there that would fit into my collection and I know it's out there, that's when the addiction kicks in. I feel like I have to find it." Gottlieb's ultimate finds are his 1971 concert poster for an Aberdeen, Scotland show, a 1973 Austrailian concert program & a 1971 Netherlands concert program. Each is worth roughly $1,000.
