Why did Yes want Larry Groupé? – Part 1 – 576
March 31, 2023 14:09 - 26 minutes - 18.7 MBProduced 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, Larr...
Why did Yes want Igor Khoroshev – Part 2 – finally – 575
March 24, 2023 15:45 - 36 minutes - 25.9 MBProduced 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 ...
Paul K Joyce talks about his orchestrations for Mirror To The Sky – 574
March 17, 2023 16:18 - 42 minutes - 29.9 MBProduced 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 albu...
New Music From Yes! Cut From The Stars from the album, Mirror To The Sky – 573
March 10, 2023 14:05 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBProduced 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 Th...
Why did Yes want Igor Khoroshev? – 572
March 03, 2023 15:38 - 42 minutes - 30 MBProduced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week the redoubtable Geoff Bailie presents his feedback on two remarkable Rick Wakeman concerts at the London Palladium which, as you can imagine, contain a shedload of Yes connections. 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 bootl...
Mark Anthony K flies solo – 571
February 24, 2023 17:51 - 12 minutes - 8.94 MBProduced 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 Ye...

February 16, 2023 16:43 - 10 minutes - 7.53 MBProduced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius In celebration of Yes - The Tormato Story being made available for preorder from the wonderful people over at Burning Shed.com, I’ve decided to present a competition this week to win a copy of my book.

Atlantic and Warner – what we’d like to see – 569
February 10, 2023 16:34 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBProduced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I had a wide-ranging and engrossing chat about what we would like Warner Music to release now they had acquired the rights to the Atlantic Yes catalogue. (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 l...
Why did Yes want Billy Sherwood? Part 2 – 568
February 03, 2023 16:30 - 37 minutes - 26.5 MBProduced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I listened to Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters by Paul Rodgers and produced by Billy Sherwood. In addition, we chatted about My Own TOURMATO which I went on with my son William and Dave Watkinson this week It was a blast and my spliced-together video of my Facebook Live clips are below. What does the album sound like? Do the various different instrumentalists combine well? What does B...
Why did Yes want Billy Sherwood? Part 1 – 567
January 27, 2023 15:50 - 31 minutes - 22.4 MBProduced 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 ti...
Rerun – Olias of Sunhillow – 566
January 20, 2023 16:43 - 48 minutes - 34 MBProduced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Jon Anderson's conceptual epic, Olias of Sunhillow, is under the microscope this week. Does this album live up to its amazing reputation? How does Jon Anderson get on playing all the instruments? Does Olias feel like a complete work or a bit bolted together? Mark's and Kevin's copies of Olias of Sunhillow: Vinyl: Olias of Sunhillow by Jon Anderson Record sleeve front Record sleeve back Side 1 label Side 2 lab...
Joe Cass and Total Mass Retain – 565
January 13, 2023 16:01 - 41 minutes - 29.2 MBProduced 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 ...
2023 – A New Hope – 564
January 06, 2023 16:15 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MBProduced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius New Year and time to look forward, rather than back. Join Mark and me talking about what's coming up based on two sources: http://bondegezou.blogspot.com/ - companion site to http://www.bondegezou.co.uk/wnyesm.htm from the legendary Henry Potts https://www.facebook.com/reel/1255122348371376 from the knowledgeable and erudite Jon Dee What Yes and Yes related albums can we look forward to in 2023? Is anyone touring? Who is publishin...
Why Did Yes Want Trevor Horn – As Producer – Part 2 – 563
December 23, 2022 11:17 - 51 minutes - 36 MBProduced 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 T...
Why Did Yes Want Trevor Horn – As Producer – Part 1 – 562
December 16, 2022 16:08 - 26 minutes - 18.9 MBProduced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius After a couple of weeks of illness I’m delighted to say I’m now almost 100% and back to the YMP. I’d like to thank everyone who has sent kind wishes - they are very much appreciated. This week we delve into the reasons why Yes might have wanted Trevor Horn back in the fold for 90125. Who wanted Trevor back? What were his special skills? Did he want to go back? Take a listen to the episode and then let us know what you think below!...
The epic album battle – Close To The Edge vs. Relayer – Part 2 – 561
November 25, 2022 16:06 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBProduced 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? The sense of anticipation could be cut w...
The epic album battle – Close To The Edge vs. Relayer – Part 1 – 560
November 18, 2022 16:11 - 47 minutes - 33.4 MBProduced 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 fin...
We talk about London in the 70s and Tormato with music Journalist and Yes book author, Chris Welch – 559
November 11, 2022 14:41 - 35 minutes - 25 MBProduced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we met the delightful Chris Welch who wrote one of the most important books about Yes, Close To The Edge - The Yes Story. 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. It was a great conversation so we hope you enjoy it...
Yes 8-Track Tapes with Tim Durling – 558
November 04, 2022 15:37 - 49 minutes - 34.4 MBProduced 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...
Why Did Yes Want…Eddie Jobson? – Part 2 – 557
October 28, 2022 16:05 - 39 minutes - 27.9 MBProduced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Lrheath / CC BY-SA This week, Mark and I have been enjoying listening to Night After Night, the live album from UK in our quest to discover why Yes wanted Eddie Jobson. Hear our views in a few moments’ time and add your own to the comments in the show notes for this week’s episode. Did you see UK in either of their incarnations? What do you think of the 3-piece lineup without Bruford and Holdsworth but with Terry Bozzio? Did it work?...
Why Did Yes Want…Eddie Jobson? – Part 1 – 556
October 21, 2022 15:39 - 38 minutes - 27 MBProduced 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 p...
Why did Yes want…The Buggles – Part 2 – 555
October 14, 2022 14:42 - 43 minutes - 30.7 MBProduced 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 ...
I speak to Steve Howe about Lunar Mist and the 2022 US Tour – 554
October 07, 2022 15:15 - 29 minutes - 21.1 MBProduced 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 we...
Rick Wakeman’s Yes harpsichord moments with James Gardner – 553
September 30, 2022 14:37 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBProduced 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 an encyclopedic knowledge of the use of harpsichords in...
Why did Yes want…The Buggles – Part 1 – 552
September 23, 2022 15:49 - 30 minutes - 21.5 MBProduced 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 t...
What if…Yes played a concert with an Open Your Eyes onwards only setlist? – 551
September 17, 2022 10:14 - 37 minutes - 26.3 MBProduced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I consider the question of what would happen if Yes were restricted to only playing music from Open Your Eyes to The Quest in a concert. Imagine that. Well, we did. Listen out for our ideas and add your own to the show notes for this week. What would you choose?Can a sensible setlist be constructed?How would it fit together? Take a listen to the episode and then let us know what you think below! Here are all the ...
Why did Yes want…Patrick Moraz? Part 2 – 550
September 09, 2022 15:12 - 41 minutes - 28.7 MBProduced 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. Is it obvious why Yes wanted Patrick Moraz from this album?What special abilities does he show here?Would he fit ...
Why did Yes want…Patrick Moraz? Part 1 – 549
September 02, 2022 15:01 - 32 minutes - 23 MBProduced 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...
“Po…confirmed it was me!” – YMP speaks to Rob Brimson, YES photographer and the guy on the cover of Tormato – 548
August 26, 2022 15:31 - 39 minutes - 28 MBProduced 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 ...
Why did Yes want…Alan White? Part 2 – 547
August 19, 2022 15:35 - 40 minutes - 28.6 MBProduced 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 t...
Why did Yes want…Alan White? Part 1 – 546
August 12, 2022 14:05 - 35 minutes - 25.2 MBProduced 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...
Second chance to hear our interview with Casey Young – 545
August 05, 2022 15:57 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MBI’m on holiday - again - with the family so I’ve added a repeat of one of our favourite ’deep dives’ into the feed. I hope you enjoy it even if you’ve heard it before.
Colin Elgie’s Yes artwork secrets PLUS Mark’s album inner sleeve favourites – 544
July 29, 2022 15:55 - 46 minutes - 32.5 MBProduced 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 discu...
Why did Yes want…Rick Wakeman? Part 2 – 543
July 22, 2022 14:26 - 40 minutes - 28.4 MBProduced by Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius After a period of ill health I’m finally back this week with the second part of our Why did Yes want Rick Wakeman feature. Many thanks to everyone who has sent wishes for a speedy recovery. We also have the final word from Simon Barrow on the CTTE 50th Anniversary UK and Irish tour and we start with some news from around the interwebs. What were the two previous albums from Strawbs like?Why was Rick fed up with that band?What were pr...
Why did Yes want…Rick Wakeman Part 1 – 542
July 08, 2022 14:23 - 33 minutes - 23.5 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius We are back almost to normal or what passes for normal in these parts this week. After the merry mayhem of the Yes UK and Irish tour celebrating CTTE’s 50th Anniversary, this week Mark and I return to our new-ish series trying to make semi-educated guesses about why Yes wanted to add new or different musicians to their fold. This time, we turn our excited attention to Rick Wakeman and consider what he was doing to attract the band’s attention. Tha...

Yes Live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022 – 539
June 23, 2022 14:13 - 46 minutes - 32.6 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I had an amazing time in London with new and old Yes friends on 21st June 2022. The concert was stunning and you'll hear me banging on about it in this episode. A magical evening of Yes music in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Close To The Edge which was performed perfectly to a full house at one of the most iconic of all venues. It's only the 10th time Yes have played at the RAH and it's also 10 years since Jon Davison joined the band. ...
Yes Live again in 2022 – 538
June 17, 2022 14:47 - 42 minutes - 29.6 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we have the chance to talk about Yes live in concert for the first time in 3 years.

He will be attending every show on the tour (apart from the warm up gig) and will be keeping us up-to-date as he goes. What have the first concerts been like?What is the setlist like?Will fans be able to get to...
Why did Yes want…Steve Howe? Part 2 – 537
June 10, 2022 13:36 - 32 minutes - 23 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius We are all, as Yesfans, still reeling from the news of the death of the great Alan White and the forthcoming tour will sadly be a very different experience. This week we return to the second part of our examination of Steve Howe’s guitar work on Tomorrow’s self-titled album. More as well as plenty of news and the announcement of the winner of the amazing Asia in Asia box set. What style is the Tomorrow album?Does it sound like Yes?Does it sound ...

R.I.P. Alan White, Yes’ stalwart drummer throughout decades of Perpetual Change – 535
May 26, 2022 20:09 - 20 minutes - 14.6 MBProduced by Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall Next week’s YMP episode will be a proper tribute to Alan White so please add your contributions in the comments section below. This week, rather than a ‘standard’ episode we thought it would be appropriate to re-play our interview with Alan from January 2020. He was in fine form, as always and it was a joy to speak to him. ‘Legendary’ is an entirely apt description of this true gentleman, extraordinary musician and friend to all he encountered....
Geoff Downes talks about Asia in Asia 83 and Yes in Europe 22 – 534
May 19, 2022 09:10 - 28 minutes - 20.2 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius It’s always a pleasure to speak to Geoff Downes and this time we took in Asia, Yes and the Downes Braide Association.

Why did Yes want…Steve Howe? Part 1 – 532
May 06, 2022 15:18 - 35 minutes - 25.2 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius As you’ll hear in a few moments, Mark and I are starting a new series this week where we will bang on about the musicians who were tempted to join Yes and what they did previously which attracted the attention of the band. It’s a bit like a prequel to our ‘what did they do next’ series, if you see what I mean. Each topic will be in two parts as before so you will have a week (or sometimes more) to listen to the music yourself before Mark and I giv...
Hammond, Polymoog, Double Mellotron, Harpsichord and RMI, oh my! 531
April 29, 2022 14:13 - 36 minutes - 25.8 MBProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I’m hoping the weekly update from around the metaverse will return next week but for now we’ll get straight on with another brilliant and fascinating conversation with progressive rock keyboard guru and all round brilliant chap, Chris Dale. What are all those weird sounding keyboard instruments on Tormato?How do they make that noise?How on earth did Chris get his hands on Rick Wakeman's unique double Mellotron? Take a listen to the episode and t...

There's also a Two Pence from Mark for you to add your thoughts to. Take a listen to the episode and th...
Rewind 10 years! (Be kind!) – 529
April 15, 2022 15:25 - 13 minutes - 6.18 MBIt’s a Bank Holiday and then Easter here in the UK so there’s been no time for a new episode this week. However, we are in the fortunate position to be able to look back 10 years and play a repeat from April 2012… This was really early in the development of the YMP so things were a bit different. The topic is just as relevant and interesting today, though, so let me know what you think of this blast from the past!
