Holy Heartburn Luke 2:14-35 by Ken Fuller

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we are starting a new project - The Yes Album Listening Guides. Eventually this will be a series of books and I explain more with Mark in this episode. What is this new book series going to be about? What is the first album? How can I be involved?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I really enjoyed listening to/watching Oliver's album/DVD 'Coming To Town - Live In Katowice'. We were surprised by and delighted with the performances, the writing and the production. It's a great set from a band firing on all cylinders! Is this all progressive rock? Does Oliver take the lead? How proficient are the others in the band?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Contrary to what I said last week, we are going to continue with our Why did Yes want series this week as we turn back slightly in time to Oliver Wakeman after we inadvertently got Benoit David in the wrong order last time. It was one of the most confusing periods of the band in terms of personnel so I have turned to interviews and accounts from those involved to try and get as close as possible to the truth - see if you agree with what Mark and I discuss in a few moments. Did Oliver know any of the band before he joined? How did they know he was any good? Was it just nepotism? Let us know if you agree with us! https://youtu.be/e3q3tEOP2tM Available now!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I return to our 'Why did Yes want...' series and it's time to consider Benoit David. Jon Anderson had been unwell and so the band needed to find what Chris Squire referred to as an 'understudy', presumably with the intention of Jon returning at some point.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I talk about various different approaches Yes have had to their stage design over the decades. This was partly prompted by the rumour that the band are intending to change they way in which they set up from 2024 onwards. Do let us know what Yes stage setups have been your favourites and why in the show notes for this week's episode. What is your favourite Yes stage setup? Do you like 3D sets?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Unless you have already read my book, Yes The Tormato Story, you may not recognise the name Derek Dearden. However, you have certainly heard the results of his amazing technical wizardry. This is another deep dive episode but it also contains much of interest to any Yes fan. Derek was a delight to speak to when Mark and I interviewed him a few months ago and I've been keeping this fascinating interview under wraps so that early readers of the book had a few surprises to discover. If you don't like spoilers, then consider coming back to this episode at a later date. I won't be offended. Quite a bit of this conversation was used in the chapter entitled The Other Drums in my book but even if you have read that, I'm sure you'll love hearing Derek explaining how it all came about in his own words. To whet your appetite, Derek was employed at Advision as a technician and then went on to found a company very closely associated with Alan White What did Derek Dearden create for Alan White? How did it all come about? What else did Derek invent? The chapter in Yes - The Tormato Story about Derek Available now!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I return to our perennial favourite, the 'why did Yes want' series. Rick is back - again - after the orchestral diversion of Magnification and the Symphonic Tour just after the turn of the century (pun intended). He produced two albums of Yes-related music shortly before returning to the band so we are going to listen to those this coming week and bang on about them next week - you are most welcome to join in via the comments below. I've spent all my spare time(!) this week packaging and sending copies of my Tormato book across the world so there's been no time to look at the usual social media places, I'm afraid. So we move straight onto the discussion. See if you agree or disagree with what's said and let us know by leaving a comment on the show notes for this episode. What was Rick up to before returning to Yes once again? What are the 'Two Sides Of Yes'? Why does he do 'that'?!? https://youtu.be/stACRExjX_E Order the new album now! https://Yes-Band.lnk.to/MirrorToTheSky https://youtu.be/UiMwIBTBs3o https://youtu.be/NdEF-vMO8vc https://youtu.be/4ZJaP9ThILI Available now!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius A momentous week in a number of ways. There have been so many positive reactions to the new Yes album Mirror to the Stars and it's even doing really well in the charts. You'll know from our reviews that Mark and I are very impressed with the record and we invited Simon Barrow to discuss it with us - listen out for that in a few minutes' time. We also took the opportunity to share some thoughts about the other release sharing today's date, Yes The Tormato Story by me. Despite the paper book being literally in my hands, the internet marketplaces seem to take some time to catch up. So you might find that the book doesn't turn up in your local internet supplier immediately. However, if you have pre-ordered via the fabulous Burning Shed, I know they have boxes of books in their warehouse and will be sending them out without delay. So it won't be long now, I hope. Let us know what you think of the album and the book once you receive either - or preferably both. See if you agree or disagree with what's said and let us know by leaving a comment on the show notes for this episode. What do we think of the album now we have heard it a number of times? Is that book *finally* available? Rejoice! Order the new album now! https://Yes-Band.lnk.to/MirrorToTheSky https://youtu.be/NdEF-vMO8vc https://youtu.be/4ZJaP9ThILI Available now!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a lovely conversation with Yes lead singer, Jon Davison. We chatted about the new album, Mirror to the Sky and his contributions to it as well as the band's live plans and the future. We also touched on Tormato (there's a surprise), John Lodge and other topics in a packed interview. Jon was an absolute delight and his passion for Yes music is obvious. As he points out, Billy, Jay and he have always been Yes fanboys. As i write this there is one week to go until both the new Yes album is released and (hopefully) Yes The Tormato Story finally sees the light of day, so it's once again an exciting time to be a Yes fan. See if you agree or disagree with what's said and let us know by leaving a comment on the show notes for this episode. Is Jon pleased with Mirror To The Sky? What was his role in creating the album? Is this album part of a development of songwriting for the band?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I were joined by Henry Potts to talk about the new Yes album, Mirror to the Sky as well as some of the more controversial topics of the day.

SCS26 – Yes Close to the Edge 50, October 2022 with Ken Fuller Friend of the Palaver Ken Fuller shares his experiences attending a rehearsal by Yes for their 50th anniversary tour of the Close to the Edge album. The rehearsal took place at Mickey's Black Box in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Ken F enjoyed the drive out to Amish country and scored himself some first row seats in front of Billy Sherwood. In his usual style and detail, Ken F provides the Palaver with insight and memories of a full-on show, complete with a (very minor) Steve incident. It's always great fun to talk with Ken and this experience is one not many get to have!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I listen to the new Yes album Mirror to the Skies this week and share our responses to it. Spoiler alert - it's really good. Is the rest of the album like Cut From The Stars?? How progressive is it?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I spoke to the generous and talented composer, Larry Groupé, about his compositions for the 2001 Yes album, Magnification. We also talked about the orchestrations he did for the Symphonic Tour and his conducting. It was a wonderful, wide-ranging conversation. How did Larry Groupé end up working on Magnification? How did Larry approach the writing? Was he happy with the results?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I continued to subtly subvert the format of our ‘Why Did Yes Want…?' series by looking at Larry Groupé who provided orchestrations, arrangements and unique orchestral music for the 2001 album, Magnification. We learned some interesting things about the Professor and prolific film and TV composer which will make our forthcoming conversation with him even more fascinating. As is so often the case, Larry is a big Yes fan which makes his choice a good one. Mark and I are both huge supporters of Magnification and we are looking forward to speaking to Larry, hopefully next week. Who is Larry Groupé? What skills did he have which might have attracted Yes? What did he add to Magnification?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I finally got round to finishing off our examination of why Yes wanted Igor Khoroshev this week after listening to a very enjoyable bootleg recording from the Open Your Eyes Tour. We also had a chance to discuss in a two pence the recent news of the postponement of the Relayer Tour in the UK and Europe until 2024. Please leave your own comments as always on the show notes for this week if you have anything to add to either of those topics. Can we hear why Yes wanted Igor? How did he fit into the band?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a lovely conversation with Paul K Joyce, the orchestrator on The Quest and Mirror To The Sky. He tells us some rather interesting things about the forthcoming album. Speaking of which, Simon Barrow returns this week to say a bit about the fan reaction to the new single, Cut From The Stars. He's not happy. When was Paul asked to provide orchestrations for another new Yes album? Is the new album 'more of the same'?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius In a change to the advertised episode, Mark and I thought it was essential to give our thoughts on the new Yes single Cut From The Stars so most of this episode is devoted to the best new Yes music for many years. How does this new Yes music compare to The Quest? Does it sound progressive? Does it increase the anticipation for the new album? https://youtu.be/5WSqjH6mFhk YES announce new studio album ‘Mirror To The Sky' for release 19th May 2023; launch first single ‘Cut From The Stars' YES, who are Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood & Jay Schellen, are pleased to announce their new studio album Mirror To The Sky on InsideOutMusic/Sony Music on the 19th May 2023. “This is a very important album for the band,” says Steve Howe, Yes' longest serving member, master guitarist, and producer of Mirror To The Sky. “We kept the continuity in the approach we established on The Quest, but we haven't repeated ourselves. That was the main thing. As Yes did in the seventies from one album to another, we're growing and moving forward. In later years, Yes often got going but then didn't do the next thing. This album is demonstrative of us growing, and building again.” For Yes, that “next thing” is a collection of high energy, intricate, lush and layered new studio songs for an album which adds to the band's much heralded legacy, while charting a path to exciting future times ahead. Today also sees the launch of the first track taken from the album. Listen to Cut From The Stars & watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdEF-vMO8vc ‘Mirror To The Sky' will be available on several formats, all featuring artwork by longtime Yes artist & collaborator Roger Dean: Ltd Deluxe Electric Blue 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray Artbook with poster Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook Ltd 2CD Digipak Standard CD Jewelcase Gatefold 2LP+LP-Booklet Digital Album The blu-ray editions include the album as Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound, Instrumental Versions & Hi-Res Stereo Mixes.

Magic Potion 04:08 As they were wrapping up The Quest, Yes found themselves with song sketches, structures, and ideas that were demanding attention. Yes received unconditional support from InsideOut boss Thomas Waber, who encouraged them to keep going in the studio, months before The Quest would even go on sale. It was like throwing gasoline on their creative fire. “When we delivered everything, and they were just getting the vinyl and everything into production for manufacturing, we were still very much in that creative zone,” explains Steve Howe. “That belief that Thomas had in us really meant a lot,” he says. “We truly get along as people,” says Jon Davison. “I feel like everyone's focused inward to the greater circle, concentric to the core of highest standards that define Yes. It's a wonderful thing to witness and of which to play a part. I believe this reflects vibrantly in the music and the creative input that each one is willing to apply, not for the benefit of the individual, but for the greater whole that is Yes.” “There was a lot of material floating around because the band hadn't done anything in the studio for so long. Ideas were just copious,” says bassist Billy Sherwood. “The pace of it was fast. As soon as we were finished with The Quest, and the mix had come out, we took a couple of little breaks there to catch our breath. But there was still music flowing around in the loop. It was just constantly being looked at and worked on. As we were all home and in that mode,

Then Mark and I start to consider why Yes wanted keyboardist Igor Khoroshev after the aforementioned Rick Wakeman left the band, once again in 1996. Photo by Geoff Bailie We will be setting you some homework to listen to a bootleg recording of Igor and the boys on the Open Your Eyes Tour so please see below for the link.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius While Kevin is on holiday with his family, Mark flies solo and brings us some of the most important talking points of the week including the news that Jay Schellen has been named as the permanent replacement in Yes for Alan White. Also, Mark mentions what's coming up for Yes fans in this year's Record Store Day and more! What are your thoughts on the appointment of Jay Schellen? What do you think he will bring to Yes' writing? What would you like Yes to release for Record Store Day? 15th February 2023: YES are delighted to announce that drummer Jay Schellen has joined the band as a permanent member. Following the sad passing of our iconic drummer, Alan White on 26th May 2022, Jay will fulfil Alan's wishes in becoming the new drummer with YES. Jay Schellen was Alan White's choice to stand in during the Topographic Drama tour, in 2016, and shared drumming duties with him from 2018 onwards. Jay had previously played alongside YES' keyboardist Geoff Downes and late bassist Chris Squire together with long working relationships with Alan and YES bass guitarist Billy Sherwood. This gave Jay a deep insight into the workings of the dynamic rhythm section that drives YES' music. Steve Howe says “We're all delighted to welcome Jay officially into the fold! He's been a great support throughout the last seven years, and we couldn't have found a better all round team player.” “I am thrilled to become the new drummer with YES,” says Jay. “I grew up playing along to YES records and I am proud to have worked so closely with my musical hero and great friend Alan White these past few years. I will strive to honour his memory as we drive towards the future with the band.”Jay Schellen TormatoBook.com YMP Patrons: Producers: Joseph Cottrell Ken Fuller Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall Patrons: Aaron SteelmanDave OwenMark James LangPaul TomeiJoost MaglevDavid HeydenPaul WilsonMartin KjellbergBob MartilottaLindMichael O'ConnorWilliam HayesBrian SullivanDavid PannellLobate ScarpMiguel FalcãoChris BandiniDavid WatkinsonNeal KaforeyRachel HadawayCraig EstenesDemMark 'Zarkol' BaggsPaul HailesDoug CurranRobert NasirFergus CubbageScott ColomboFred BarringerDavidGeoff BailieSimon BarrowGeoffrey MasonStephen LambeGuy R DeRomeSteve DillHenrik AntonssonSteve PerryHogne Bø PettersenSteve RodeDeclan LogueSteve ScottTodd DudleyJimJamie McQuinnSteven RoehrJohn ParryKeith HoisingtonAlan BeggTerence SadlerJohn HoldenBarry GorskyMichael HanderhanTim StannardJon PicklesJohn ThomsonJohn CowanTony HandleyRobertGary BettsJim Morrison Facebook has changed how pages work which means that I've had to establish a new place for us to post and discuss Yes-related happenings.

(At least I found it engrossing, your mileage may vary.) I am also indebted to Simon Barrow for sending in a fine report on the recent interviews with both Benoit David (which Bob Keeley also sent to me) and Jon Davison about their experiences as lead singers for the band. What kinds of product would we like from Warner? What advice would we give Warner on what not to do? How does Benoit David feel about his time with Yes? Vinyl - in colour!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I began to think about the next musician Yes wanted to sign up, this time as a live associate member of the band for the 1994 Talk Tour. We talk about Billy's connections to Yes members, his involvement with Union and lots of other topics. You'll also find out what record we have chosen to listen to next week for some clues as to Billy's suitability to join Yes at this point. In addition, we have time for a two pence segment about the recent sale of Yes' Atlantic back catalogue to Warner Bros. and what this means for the band and the fans.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius As I'm sure you know we lost another giant of the rock world this week. Jeff Beck was one of the most influential guitarists of all time and I'm sure Yes music would sound very different - or possibly wouldn't exist without the influence of the great man. Rest in Peace. This week we had a great conversation with Joe Cass who you may well know is the drummer for Yes Tribute Total Mass Retain. He told us stories of his connections with Yes members and the aims of his band who have confirmed two 2023 concerts so far - visit https://www.totalmassretainband.com/ for all the information - they put on an amazing evening of Yes music and if you haven't met Joe yet, you'll hear just what a generous and thoughtful musician he is from our chat. https://youtu.be/iGojXIz3AkA What are Yes Tribute Band Total Mass Retain trying to achieve?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius It's time to enjoy listening to The Lexicon Of Love this week as we look for clues as to why Yes wanted Trevor Horn to return as producer for 90125. To be fair, that's not an especially difficult task as his fingerprints are all over this brilliant, era-defining work of pop genius. It's not prog but it's glorious music. What Trevor Horn influences can be heard on this album? Is the production any good? Is it obvious why Yes wanted Trevor back? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_njQ-vtLtdr8lCUJvijX4QrS6Rf48QgtwA Also, it's time to wish all listeners, Producers and Patrons all best wishes at this festive time of year.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I spent a very enjoyable week listening to CTTE and Relayer - and why not? In time honoured fashion we have recorded our thoughts independently and then we meet up to criticise each other's ideas. Not really. We do, however, indulge in the futile but nevertheless enjoyable process of ranking the albums against each other and coming out with a winner. Will you agree with our assessments?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I embark upon another inevitably unjustifiable escapade - the rating of two classic Yes albums against each other. If it wasn't fun we wouldn't do it but it keeps us off the streets at least. This time we have decided to pit Close To The Edge against Relayer and you can play along as well. In part 1 we bang on about the similarities and differences between the records and then next week we will report back on our findings after listening carefully to the albums.

Journalist for Melody Maker, Kerrang and many other publications, Chris has known the band from its earliest days and we very much enjoyed talking to him about those days in the early 70s as well as his trip to Advision to see the band recording Tormato.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we are off into the weeds once again, this time with Tim Durling as our guide. As the originator of Tim's Vinyl Confessions, he is ideally placed to tell us more about the 8 track tapes that have been released over the years by Yes and we discover a wealth of interesting facts about the much-maligned media format which, as you may remember, was the basis of the ill-fated Birotron Rick Wakeman championed and part-funded in the mid-late 70s. We would be delighted to see photos of any Yes 8 track tapes you have in your collection so please do add those to the comments on the show notes for this week's episode. Why were 8-track cartridges so popular?Did they sound any good?Did the format cause any problems for the transfer of records?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Lrheath / CC BY-SA This week Mark and I have been considering why Yes wanted Eddie Jobson. He stayed with the band for about as long as a British Prime Minister but there must have been compelling musical reasons why he was asked to join in the first place. So that's what we are beginning to explore in this episode. While Eddie isn't very well-known outside the Prog world, he certainly had the capacity to take Yes in a different and perhaps very interesting direction before he was replaced by the returning Tony Kaye. Another parallel with the UK political situation? Child prodigy to Prog legend - an amazing story.What skills did Eddie have which attracted Yes?Did he have the experience to join Yes?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius We are finally back with part 2 of our look at the Buggles and why Yes might have wanted them. For this, we've been listening to the first album from the duo, The Age Of Plastic, seeing if we can pick up some pointers. As usual, it was a revealing and enjoyable experience and quite topical as Trevor Horn's autobiography is being advertised across all of my social media at the moment. Let us know what you think of our views in the show notes for this week. Does the album sound dated in 2022?Is there more to it than just Video Killed The Radio Star?Is it obvious why Yes wanted Downes and Horn to join them?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius What a week it's been in the world of Yes. Thanks to friend of the YMP Roie Avin, I managed to speak to Steve Howe about his new album with his late son Virgil, Lunar Mist as well as the US tour which began yesterday with a preview concert. (Don't worry, I managed to slip in a question about Tormato as well.) YMP Producer Ken Fuller went along to the dress rehearsal and I've added his photos from the event to the show notes for this week. The gig took place at Mickey's Black Box, part of long-time Yes collaborator Michael Tait's empire also known as the Rock Lititz campus in Philadelphia. In fact Michael introduced the band and spoke about his connections with Yes. (Incidentally he is now retired.) Also this week Doug Curran was at the wonderful Alan White tribute concert in Seattle which featured Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison, Geoff Downes, Jay Schellen and a host of other stars. A truly moving event to remember a truly remarkable person. Add to all this the announcement of concert dates for Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks in 2023 complete with a great video of the whole band in action together. Actually I think it's a composite video using some clever remote recording but whatever the case, it all sounds fantastic. Fingers crossed they are able to visit the UK. How does Lunar Mist complement Nexus?Who decided what Tormato should be called?How is touring? Take a listen to the episode and then let us know what you think below!

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we decided to postpone the second part of our Buggles episode because we had the chance to interview James Gardner about Rick Wakeman's use of the harpsichord. It was a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion and we learned a lot about both the instrument and some of the characters involved with creating the actual instruments Rick used on recordings with Yes. James has encyclopedic knowledge of the use of harpsichords in popular music and he mentions a large number of songs which have featured the instrument over the years. I've added YouTube videos of each song James refers to in the show notes for this episode. You might want to refer to those while you listen to the interview or come back to them at the end. I found they helped me a great deal. What kind of harpsichord did Rick use?Who made it?Where else can we hear harpsichords in popular music?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we are back with our ‘Why did Yes want…' series and we have reached 1980 when both Anderson and Wakeman had left the band and up stepped Horn and Downes. How did this happen and why would Yes want to develop a relationship with a pop band? Listen on to discover our thoughts and then add your own to the show notes. Over the coming week we will be listening to The Buggles album, ‘The Age Of Plastic' to try and find some clues to help us with the question above so please do join in with that and let us know what you think of the album, 42 years later.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I give our impressions of the self-titled album by Refugee, featuring Patrick Moraz, in our attempt to see why Yes wanted him in the band in 1974. As you will hear, we both rather like it. Please do add your own comments to the show notes for this week's episode and let us know if you agree or disagree.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I consider why Yes wanted Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz to join them after the departure of Rick Wakeman. We discuss the bands which Moraz played in and the route he took to arrive with Yes which, as you might imagine, wasn't straightforward! It eventually led to his band, Refugee so we will be spending next week listening to their self-titled album in order to give you our thoughts on that record. Sounds like it's going to be fun.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I had a great time speaking to photographer Rob Brimson this week. He was with Po from Hipgnosis when the photos of YES band members on the inner gatefold sleeve of Going For The One were taken and he took the shot of Yes Tor which adorns the cover of Tormato. He also did a bit of informal modelling work… Rob was open and generous about the days when he was based at Hipgnosis' studios in London as well as his trip to Mountain Studios in Montreux and the story about the helicopter and the escape of the flying pig. Listen out for that one later. More Yes revelations are included in our conversation. Rob's website: https://www.robbrimson.com/ Also this week around the social media hotspots, I have been posting some adverts for my new website which is supporting the Tormato book I announced last week on the YMP.

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I have enjoyed listening to Alan White in a rather different context to normal - adding his remarkable talents to John Lennon's classic album, Imagine. We present our thoughts and then get together to have a chat about the music and the musicians involved. Please do add your own thoughts below and see if you agree with Mark and me. This is the image from our conversation with Alan We also found time to consider a two pence topic around Jon Anderson's plans for live concerts next year with The Band Geeks. Stay tuned for our thoughts on that. In other news, I'm excited to announce that I am part-way through writing a book about Tormato which will include all the aspects we've covered on the YMP as well as copious illustrations and a myriad of other things. It will be in paper and online format and I'll be announcing all kinds of other news about it as we approach the publication date - which is still a long way off. However, you can already go to tormatobook.com to find out more and to sign up to an email newsletter to keep up-to-date with progress. The book will be published by Five Per Cent For Something Publishing (see what I did there?) and is to be called, ‘Too Close To The Edge? The surprising and instructive story of TORMATO, the final YES album of the 1970s'. Good title eh? Not final artwork - just me messing about with one of Jeremy North's photos What does Alan's drumming on Imagine sound like?Does he play appropriately?Can you tell it's him?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius While we wait for Yes to begin their tour in Japan in September and following the end of Jon Anderson's Close To The Edge tour, it's comparatively quiet in Yes world at the moment. That certainly doesn't mean we don't have anything to talk about, of course. So this week Mark and I have been thinking about why Yes wanted the late and already desperately missed Alan White. We have discovered or perhaps rediscovered some aspects of Alan's early career which made him the perfect fit for Yes following the departure of Bill Bruford, very shortly before the beginning of the original Close To The Edge tour. It was an excellent discussion reminding us just how multi-faceted Alan's abilities were so do keep listening for that. What about Alan White attracted Yes?What did Alan spend his teenage years doing?What recordings can we hear pre-Yes Alan playing on?

Produced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I recently spoke to illustrator Colin Elgie, who was a freelance illustrator for legendary album art producers, Hipgnosis, for the whole of the 1970s. We chatted about his artwork for Tormato and I found out that he also produced some other Yes items you'll recognise, along with other prog album covers. It was a great phone call and this week I explain to Mark what Colin said and we take a look at some of the artwork Colin and I discussed. Then Mark tells us about some other vinyl albums which have interesting and/or unique inner contents. You'll also have your favourites so please do add them in the comments below.

If you appreciate Parallax Views and the work of J.G. Michael please consider supporting the show through Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views we continue our holiday series by speaking with an actress from a Christmas movie classic. Well, maybe not a Christmas movie classic in the traditional sense but in a more unorthodox one. No, I'm not talking about Bonnie Bedelia from Die Hard. Instead I'm talking about Lynne Griffin, the Canadian actress who played the iconic-if-short-lived role of the doomed Claire in Bob Clarke's 1974 horror chiller Black Christmas. Since it's release all those decades ago, Black Christmas has inspired two remakes/reimaginings and a high-profile fan film called It's Me Billy from noted voice actor David McRae. It's also a movie that really predates and arguably helped insprie elements of later horror movies like Halloween and the lesser slasher films that would follow. With a few plot elements reminiscent to When a Stranger Calls, Black Christmas centers on a sorority house being menaced by an obscene phone caller who eventually takes to picking off each of the girls one by one. In addition to Lynne Griffin, the movie also featured the talents of Romeo and Juliet's Olivia Hussey, Superman's Margot Kidder, 2001: A Space Odyssey's Keir Dullea, and the veteran rugged character actor John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Enter the Dragon) as Police Lt. Ken Fuller. The film's director, Bob Clarke, would go on to make a more traditional holiday classic in the form of A Christmas Story as well as helming such features Porky's, Murder by Decree, and Turk 182 among others. Lynne joins us to talk not only about Black Christmas but also some of her other acting credits including the Rick Moranis comedy Strange Brew, the cult classic horror obscurity Curtains (which feels particularly relevant in the age of the MeToo movement), and April Mullen's criminally underrated 88 starring Katherine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps, Freddy Vs. Jason, American Mary) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Addams Family Values). All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views

Ken Fuller's gift! Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week Mark and I take a look at Trevor Rabin’s collection of demos and early versions entitled 90124. It’s a fascinating set of proto-yes music, if you can get hold of a copy. I am indebted to Ken Fuller for mine. Also this week, we think about how Yes or ARW could keep in contact with their fans better. What are these early demos like? What can we learn about Yes songs from them?

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. With Yes announcing that the next two albums to be given the 'Album Series' treatment are Tormato and Relayer, we take a listen to both and discuss what we think the issues and challenges are of playing these records live in 2017/18. Mark also listens to the new Rick Wakeman album, Piano Portraits and there's a voice mail on the same subject from Bob Keeley. Finally, our 2 pence involves Alan White. What is it about Tormato and Relayer that might be difficult to recreate live today? How will the current line-up cope with the 70s albums? Should they still be going for 'authenticity'?
