This week, Mark and I had a very interesting chat about collecting Yes music - different pressings, different versions, different formats. I had come up with several categories of Yes collectors and here they are:

Musical completist

Artist/Band Supporter

Band historian

Audiophile

History fanatic

Tactile fanatic

Emotional collector

So which category do you think you fit into - or perhaps you consider yourself in several, all or none. Please do let us know in the show notes for this week.

This topic came up because I have just received several new (to me) Yes and Yes-related items. Here are some photos:

Kevin's newest purchases:

I explain what these are and why I fancied adding them to my collection in the episode and Mark talks about these samplers he has in his collection:
