Podcast appearances and mentions of mabel greer

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I attempted to choose 3 Peter Banks era Yes songs each. As you'll hear, we turned out to be thinking along similar lines but it was still a very enjoyable experience listening to the earliest days of the band and discussing what made Yes unique even at that stage. Yesterdays label This topic was partly in response to a tweet or X post or whatever they are now called from Phil (Primarily_Prog) @primarily_prog who posted a photo of Time and a Word and said - Continuing tonight with perhaps the most undervalued album in the Yes discography.I seldom hear it mentioned, yet the interplay between Banks, Bruford, Squire and Kaye is quite something.And Jon's voice to top it off … pic.twitter.com/tiO0ZlZQ5E— Phil (Primarily_Prog) (@primarily_prog) April 21, 2024 What was special about the Peter Banks era? What are our favourite songs from way back then? What can we learn about how Yes music developed? Let us know if you agree with us!

On this episode, we're joined by Clive Bayley and Max Hunt of Mabel Greer's Toyshop! Bayley was a founding member of the pre-Yes band, and Hunt, who has played in Yes tribute band Fragile, joined several years ago for the album The Secret. They've since released an album together titled Whispers, and now, a NEW album titled One More Moment under the band name Affirm! What's the story behind the band name? What does the music sound like? What does the future look like for Affirm and Mabel Greer's Toyshop? All of this is discussed in this lively conversation!

Widely regarded as pioneers of progressive rock, Yes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. Formed in London in 1968, Yes' sound is instantly recognizable by the band's jazz and rock playing, and by the singular alto-tenor lead vocal of Jon Anderson. Yes' classic albums, including The Yes Album, Close To The Edge, Fragile, and 90125, are staples of classic rock libraries everywhere, and their iconic songs, like "Roundabout," "And You and I," "I've Seen All Good People," and "Owner Of A Lonely Heart," are known by music fans worldwide. In addition to his work with Yes, Jon has collaborated with Vangelis and Jean-Luc Ponty, and has released many well-received solo albums. Born in England in 1944, he began singing on his brother's daily route as a milkman before falling head first for rock n' roll. After meeting bassist Chris Squire in the late 1960s, he joined a rock group called Mabel Greer's Toy Shop - and the two left to form a band that was later renamed Yes. Jon's music has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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!

Many words can be used to describe singer-songwriter Jon Anderson; cautious is not one of them. Born in England in 1944, he began singing on his brother’s daily route as a milkman before falling head first for rock n’ roll. After meeting bassist Chris Squire in the late 1960s, he joined a rock group called Mabel Greer’s Toy Shop—and the two left to form a band that was later renamed Yes. Now 72, he’s sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. But for the adventurous Anderson—whose rendition of Goldfinger earned him the nickname "The Shirley Bassey of Rock and Roll," it’s still all about the music.
