NotesFirst ever vinyl pressing of this collection of early recordings for BBC radio by legendary progressive rock band Yes! ORIGINAL Yes line-up of Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Tony Kaye, and Peter Banks! Includes radical reworkings of classic songs by Stephen Stills ("Everdays"), the Beatles ("Every Little Thing"), and "Something's Coming" from the Broadway show "West Side Story" PLUS several original Yes compositions! This compilation is a must have for every fan of Yes as well as all lovers of progressive rock!
Yes, were a very tight group in their beginning formation.
As a live band they were very unique as composers and musicians.
One wonders what Yes, would have been had Peter Banks, continued with the band.
Nevertheless to listen to these live recordings gives tribute to an era when progressive music was in its early stages~

Unfortunately the sound quality is not very good, Then again during these early days live music was not up to the technology we have now. Still the experience is a nice fallback to a wonderful time in music history.
