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.'
