Sid Smith – Doyen of the Sleeve Note – 429

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier

This week we blew away the lockdown cobwebs by means of a bracing conversation with the ever jovial and generous Sid Smith. Responsible for many Yes, King Crimson and other sleeve notes, he shared his approaches and told a story or two. It was a very enjoyable chat.

  • How do you get involved in writing sleeve notes?
  • Are all sleeve notes created equal?
  • What plans has Sid got for the future?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
