I finally managed to catch up with Bob Hagger from Mabel Greer’s Toyshop today and he reminded me that the new album is out today. UK Amazon link: New Way of Life

Billy Sherwood re-mixed the album (like he did for Heaven and Earth) and also played some keyboards and bass guitar. The main keyboards were added by none other than original band member, Tony Kaye.

I recommend the album and not just because it contains two tracks later to appear on Yes’ first album.

The Yes Music Podcast will return next week

It’s half term in the UK this week so there won’t be an episode. However, I have just received a review copy of the new Mabel Greer’s Toyshop album which I will be reviewing next week. Thanks for listening!
