This week, Mark and I have had the chance to listen to the whole of the new Arc of Life album so listen out in a few moments for our initial reactions to that.
We also have time to think about a 2 pence suggested by Jeremy North and I need to correct an omission from last week when we played Daniel and Amanda’s contribution to the What if Rick Wakeman had joined Yes before the Yes Album question but didn’t have time to add any feedback.
- What is the full Arc of Life album like?
- Is the music different to the singles?
- Is it prog – and does it matter?
Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

ABWH days! 
The Album in question
This is our first episode in the YMP’s 10th Anniversary year and it’s a real epic. I asked Patrons and a few others for their contributions to this week’s topic and the response was amazing. So this is another episode you might want to listen to in parts. It may well be the longest episode ever but I also think you’ll really enjoy hearing everyone’s thoughts on Rick Wakeman and The Yes Album. Incidentally, if you sent me a contribution but I haven’t included it, please do let me know and I’ll apologise and add it to next week’s show.
- Was this the right time for Rick Wakeman to join Yes?
- Was Tony Kaye’s style not right for the band?
- How different would it have sounded if Wakeman had been there?
Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

It’s been a bit of a challenging week on the technical side with Mark in lockdown and without proper internet access and my move of the YMP Towers into a new location in the house. However, we did manage to listen to the Jon Anderson Christmas album, 3 Ships which was very enjoyable.
- What’s Jon’s Christmas album like?
- Are all the songs ‘Christmassy’?
- Why listen to 3 Ships?
Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
