This week Mark and I have been listening to the first Yes album to link in with it being released on coloured vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day 50 years after first appearing. We also consider what we would release for Record Store Day if it was up to us.
Listen and let us know what you think!
- How does the first album sound after 50 years?
- What can we detect which foreshadows later developments?
- Do we like it?

Listen and let us know what you think!
- What other songs might be more emblematic?
- Can we sum up Yes music in just one song?

It’s half term this week so I’m spending time with the family and supporting my mum with preparations for my dad’s funeral on Monday. Mark and I will be back next week.
Many thanks,

This week I discovered something I didn’t know about Yes…wow! So as a result Mark and I listened to 3 different versions of Starship Trooper featuring not 2 but 3 different Wakemen!
Also, we approach a difficult 2 Pence about the quality of Yes performance on the recent Cruise to the Edge.
Listen and let us know what you think!
- Did all three Wakemen really play for Yes?
- What’s the Adam story?
- Who played better?
