How well do you know it?

Almost 45 years ago my kid brother and his new wife moved into flat just outside Brentwood Essex and they painted the inside cover of the fish on one of the walls.

The painting lasted longer than the marriage as she came out as a lesbian and they split up after three years

Spot on, they've added another dimension to what really sounds like a pop Yes album. The Yes Album is their masterpiece, suspect this is going to be coming in second in my Yes listings.

Not at all.


Think this is my first listen. I tended to be very dismissive of my school chum's musical tastes, as he was of mine. He loved Yes and Elton John, I was Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters & Beatles.

TYA and then probably Close to the Edge and then this for me!

Going for the One and Drama are two really good Yes albums that should almost be in the same breath as the second tier Yes albums
