I was delighted to receive a lovely physical copy of Scott O’Reilly’s remarkable book through the post recently. It’s a great read and even more pleasurable when you can hold the object in your hand.
The seventy-fifth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring an interview with Scott O’Reilly, author of ‘Yes and Philosophy: The Spiritual and Philosophical Dimensions of Yes Music’.

Adam Sears from Lobate Scarp was kind enough to send me the items you can see above all the way from the US. I was delighted to receive them.
The CD package has a great, full-colour booklet inside with photographs, lyrics, acknowledgements and even a proper explanation of the band name with illustration!
As you can see, the band members have even signed this copy so I feel very special!
Why not get yourself a copy of the physical CD? The music is excellent and holding the package in your hand is a delight.
