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

We discuss this and also the recent picture shared by Billy Sherwood of a post-Yes-rehearsal meal... What were the singles from Close To The Edge? How did they compare to previous efforts?

Fragile produced just one single - Roundabout Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier. Fragile elevated the band further than ever before.

How does the edited version of Roundabout work? What does Rick Wakeman add? No UK single? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

The Secret - Mabel Greer's Toyshop Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier. I wasn't able to record with Mark this week but I did manage to speak to Clive Bayley of Mabel Greer's Toyshop which morphed into Yes in 1968. The new album, The Secret, features the late, great Peter Banks on the title song and Clive explains how that came about. Mark also gives his recommendations for those interested in investigating what Peter Banks did next... How does Peter Banks appear on this new album? What influenced are present in this record? Is Mabel Greer's Toyshop part of the Yes legacy? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

Virgil and Steve Howe - Nexus Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.

Yes 80s Output Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.

Survival - Beat Club 1969 Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier. I didn't get to see Rick Wakeman this week, due to a family emergency but we still managed to think about Survival and how it's been performed over the years. We watch the videos embedded below and then we consider who might also join Yes on stage for #YES50 next year in our 2 pence segment. How was Survival performed back in 1969? How frequently has it appeared in set-lists since then? Is it a good song? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

There's also time for a rather mischievous Yes and ARW 2 pence so something for everyone, we hope! Is this DBA album a continuation of or a revolution from the last? Did Geoff ever meet any of the contributors? What is the writing process like? Chris Braide and Geoff Downes Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!
