Show notes

A couple of things I forgot to mention in the episode:

* It's interesting to note that ABWH tracks are included here, despite not being 'officially' Yes music.

* This is, perhaps, partly due to the fact that Steve Howe is credited with 'Additional Archival Research & Mixing' in the sleeve notes. Certainly, Howe appears on each one of the previously unreleased tracks.

Update:

The remarkable and generous Paul Wilson has sent the following links in which will fill in some gaps to say the least!

What I missed out

I meant to mention the art work on ABWH but missed it out by mistake. It's by Roger Dean and is, in fact, my favourite of his paintings. Clearly, this was an attempt to link the album as closely to 70s era Yes as possible - like the fact that live shows by ABWH were entitled, 'An Evening of Yes Music Plus.'
