Why did Yes stop playing sides 2 and 3 of Tales From Topographic Oceans? 478

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier

Tales From Topographic Oceans
Tales From Topographic Oceans

It’s been a week for thinking deeply…or maybe not. Anyway, Mark and I have been listening to the oft maligned sides 2 and 3 of Tales from Topographic Oceans which have not been played as often as sides 1 and 4. Why not I hear you cry. Or maybe I don’t. In any case, that’s what we will be banging on about in this episode

  • Why abandon sides 2 and 3?
  • Are they really that bad?
  • What was it like to be an early audience member?

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

This is the recording we listened to:

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

Relayer featuring Patrick Moraz
Relayer featuring Patrick Moraz

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

No singles were released from Tales From Topographic Oceans – unless you know differently…so we have skipped right along to Relayer and its single, Soon which had an edit of Sound Chaser on the B side. We also discuss Cruise to the Edge and there’s plenty of other news as well.

  • What does Soon sound like, ripped out of its rightful place in Gates of Delirium?
  • Sound Chaser as a B side? Really?
  • Is there anything else which could have been released?

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