Progressive rock icon Jon Anderson, the unmistakable voice behind Yes classics such as Roundabout, Close to the Edge, and Owner of a Lonely Heart, has unveiled an exclusive collector’s piece that perfectly merges music, art, and craftsmanship — a limited-edition, autographed turntable designed in partnership with the creative design house StuckOnDecoupage.
This extraordinary project celebrates Anderson’s lifelong connection to vinyl culture while marking another artistic milestone in his illustrious five-decade career. Only 100 units of the special-edition turntable will be made available worldwide, each individually numbered, personally signed by Anderson, and hand-crafted with custom decoupage artwork inspired by his latest live album, Perpetual Change (2025), recorded with The Band Geeks.A Tribute to the Art of Sound
Each turntable is more than a playback device — it’s a piece of art. The surface is adorned with intricate decoupage designs created by StuckOnDecoupage’s artists, featuring imagery drawn from Perpetual Change, Anderson’s 2025 triple-vinyl release that revisits his musical journey with The Band Geeks. The artwork captures the spirit of transformation and timelessness that defines Anderson’s creative world — cosmic symbols, lyrical motifs, and ethereal color patterns that reflect his mystical sensibilities.
Every turntable comes with a certificate of authenticity, Anderson’s signature on the deck plate, and a unique serial number, making each one a true collector’s item. According to StuckOnDecoupage, the handcrafted process ensures that “no two pieces are identical — each tells its own story, just like Jon’s music.”
Merging Music and Craftsmanship
In an official statement, Anderson described the collaboration as a joyful meeting of art and technology:
“Vinyl has always been special to me — it’s where I started and where music feels most alive. These turntables are about celebrating that physical, human connection to sound. When you place the needle down, you’re not just hearing music, you’re touching part of my story.”
Theproject was conceived earlier this year as a way to honor the analog spirit of Perpetual Change and the success of True, his 2024 studio collaboration with The Band Geeks. Both albums were pressed on vinyl, reaffirming Anderson’s enduring love affair with the format that helped shape the golden age of progressive rock.
A Limited-Edition Experience
With only 100 turntables available worldwide, demand has already surged among collectors and long-time fans of Yes. Each unit will be sold exclusively through StuckOnDecoupage’s online store, accompanied by a decorative sleeve and a signed lyric print. The attention to detail extends to the components: high-quality drive motor, precision tonearm, and premium cartridge compatibility ensure the turntable is not merely ornamental but also delivers excellent playback fidelity.
Representatives for StuckOnDecoupage called it “a labor of love — a fusion of sound and soul.” The collaboration grew out of Anderson’s appreciation for bespoke design and handcrafted artistry. Known for his fascination with visual aesthetics — from the Roger Dean album covers that defined Yes’s look to his own spiritual art — Anderson viewed this partnership as a way to bring that visual world to life in a tangible, functional form.
A Symbol of Legacy and Renewal
At 80 years old, Jon Anderson remains one of rock’s most imaginative and restless spirits. His current tour with The Band Geeks has earned rave reviews for re-energizing the music of Yes with youthful fire and intricate musicianship. The turntable, like the live album that inspired it, bridges generations — connecting his past glories to the new creative partnerships that keep his music evolving.
Music journalists have praised the idea as both nostalgic and forward-looking. It taps into the global vinyl renaissance, where physical records and turntables have made a massive comeback among audiophiles and collectors alike.
“Jon Anderson’s limited-edition turntable isn’t just a product,” noted one critic. “It’s a declaration — that music, art, and memory still matter in the digital age.”
For Collectors and Dreamers Alike
The limited-edition turntable appeals to three audiences at once: audiophiles, who will value the quality and playback precision; art collectors, drawn to its handcrafted uniqueness; and fans of progressive rock, who view Anderson’s signature as a piece of living history.
Its scarcity adds to its mystique — with only 100 pieces produced, each one is expected to become a sought-after collectible. While pricing hasn’t been publicly disclosed, insiders suggest that early buyers will be rewarded with both sentimental and potential resale value, given Anderson’s towering influence in the world of progressive music.
A Final Word
Jon Anderson’s signed turntable stands as a celebration of what makes music eternal — the touch, the texture, the ritual of vinyl, and the artistry that breathes through every spin. For fans who have followed him from The Yes Album to Perpetual Change, it’s a fitting tribute: the sound of the past, reimagined for the present, and preserved for the future.
As Anderson himself says, smiling, “The music keeps spinning — and so do
