YES was/is a much lauded and renowned prog-rock group from London.

Their most remarkable and successful period was the one with their
original line-up (Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Tony Kaye and
Bill Bruford) between 1968 and 1981, with 10 LPs including their best
ever Relayer. Magical singer Jon Anderson left the band in 1980.

The band is still active with guitarist
Steve Howe as the only original member.

All artwork was designed by artist Roger Dean
except for Time And A Word which was developed
by Laurence Sackman and co-ordinated by Graphreaks.

UNCUT MAGAZINE Publishes The ULTIMATE GUIDE To YES

Posted on by JL

20 February 2023

Former legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman
introduces Uncut latest Deluxe Ultimate Music Guide
made for all YES fans, then and now.

He also had a far-reaching conversation which covers his session musician work, praise
for the material which Yes made after he left, and how his solo successes once led to him being greeted by a brass band on an airport runway, to the dismay of the other members of Yes – though it ultimately led to them all being offered solo album contracts too.

As you’ll learn from the features and in-depth reviews in this deluxe Ultimate Music
Guide, the band’s journey – with Rick and without him – has been an incredible one. From orchestral psyche-pop to pastoral prog drama. Out the other side to encounter jazz fusion, and synth-pop. The band have evolved to meet the times, and are now retrenching in the ecological mode of their classic era albums to the delight of a new generation of listeners.

You can purchase a copy and let it be sent to your home. Info HERE.

A perfect occasion to play their 1974 classic opus RELAYER again.
