This week, Mark and I had a very interesting chat about collecting Yes music – different pressings, different versions, different formats. I had come up with several categories of Yes collectors and here they are:
- Musical completist
- Artist/Band Supporter
- Band historian
- Audiophile
- History fanatic
- Tactile fanatic
- Emotional collector
So which category do you think you fit into – or perhaps you consider yourself in several, all or none. Please do let us know in the show notes for this week.
This topic came up because I have just received several new (to me) Yes and Yes-related items. Here are some photos:
Kevin’s newest purchases:
I explain what these are and why I fancied adding them to my collection in the episode and Mark talks about these samplers he has in his collection:
