ABWH days! 
The Album in question
This is our first episode in the YMPโs 10th Anniversary year and itโs a real epic. I asked Patrons and a few others for their contributions to this weekโs topic and the response was amazing. So this is another episode you might want to listen to in parts. It may well be the longest episode ever but I also think youโll really enjoy hearing everyoneโs thoughts on Rick Wakeman and The Yes Album. Incidentally, if you sent me a contribution but I havenโt included it, please do let me know and Iโll apologise and add it to next weekโs show.
- Was this the right time for Rick Wakeman to join Yes?
- Was Tony Kaye’s style not right for the band?
- How different would it have sounded if Wakeman had been there?
Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Theme music
The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org
