The Secret – Mabel Greer’s Toyshop

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

I wasn’t able to record with Mark this week but I did manage to speak to Clive Bayley of Mabel Greer’s Toyshop which morphed into Yes in 1968. The new album, The Secret, features the late, great Peter Banks on the title song and Clive explains how that came about. Mark also gives his recommendations for those interested in investigating what Peter Banks did next…

  • How does Peter Banks appear on this new album?
  • What influenced are present in this record?
  • Is Mabel Greer’s Toyshop part of the Yes legacy?
