Mark and I return for the first time in the 15th year of the YMP this week to discuss some of what we believe are the most important aspects of the classic Chris Squire solo album, Fish Out Of Water. I do mention that it’s 50 years since its release but, as you probably know, we are a bit late to the party. The official release date was November 1975 but that doesn’t affect any of the points we make in our conversation. As we didn’t celebrate the real 50th anniversary, we are making up for that today. Do let us know what your thoughts are on this amazing record by leaving a comment in the show notes for this week.
- What makes this album so good?
- Is it the best Yes member solo album?
- Who else was involved?
Let us know what you think in the comments below.
