description

Album artwork research tends to focus on aspects related to usability and graphics, włiile freąuently ignoring other elements of cover art - the paraphernalia of pho- nograms represented by functionally diversified texts. Their importance has been recognised with the Grammy Award for Best Album Notes, awarded for excellent liner (sleeve) notes in phonographic publications. This article focuses on the diverse character of the onymic elements in the sleeve notes on Fragile, the fourth studio album by Yes. Specifically, the songs are divided into those representing the band as a whole and its individual members separately. Proper names emerge in this example as a categorically diverse group, with each of them demanding an indi- vidual research approach considering a broad context and at times even extending beyond the album’s multi-code communication. Ideonyms of the works constitute a particular group. Freąuently they feature several variants, which hinders their delimitation. Determining their proper form is important as it is the starting point for further analysis.
