This week, Mark and I spoke to the redoubtable David Watkinson who has published another fabulous Yessay (see what he did there?) on Forgotten-Yesterdays.com. This time, it’s about a subject that might appear a bit dry – the band’s accounts books from 1969-1970. In fact, there is a huge amount that can be gleaned from the documents as you will hear in this episode. Can you guess what are the largest – and the most bizarre – expenses the band incurred at this time? Prepare to be amazed, as they say.
- Yes were into Coke!?!
- Which member of the band was an official Director of the first ever Yes limited company?
- Why was there a separate charge for taking a bath?
See if you agree with us and then leave a comment below.
