Album Notes YESTERDAYS contains material from the first 2 Yes albums (YES and TIME AND A WORD), plus a version of Paul Simon's "America" (from THE AGE OF ATLANTIC album, released July 1972).Yes: Peter Banks, Steve Howe (vocals, guitar); Chris Squire (vocals, bass); Jon Anderson (vocals); Tony Kaye (organ); Rick Wakeman (keyboards); Bill Bruford (drums).Producers: Yes, Eddie Offord, Paul Clay, Tony Colton.Engineers: Eddie Offord, Gerald Chevin.All tracks have been digitally remastered.Following the massive commercial and artistic success of albums like FRAGILE, THE YES ALBUM and CLOSE TO THE EDGE, Yes released this 1974 collection to remind their audience of the band's beginnings. YESTERDAYS features cuts from the first two Yes albums as well as two previously unreleased early recordings. The early Yes sound was much less complex, closer in spirit to the more forward-looking groups of the late-'60s. "Looking Around" features visceral riffing from original guitarist Peter Banks and simple, buoyant organ from Tony Kaye. "Survival" and "Then" find Jon Anderson being to explore the socio-philosophical themes he would develop later in the band's career. A nice surprise comes in the form of a Simon & Garfunkel cover; "America," making plain Yes' initial debt to '60s folk-rock. YESTERDAYS is an intriguing snapshot of a band on their way to something as yet unheard. | |||||||||||||
