Another stellar (how topical) episode from Mark in Kevin's absence! This week, he covers a wide variety of topics including the weather(!), his own latest Projekt Gemineye release, Jon Davison and the new Yes album and the main topic - the record pressings you must have if you count yourself as a fanatical Yes collector! https://projektgemineye.bandcamp.com/album/the-dark-days-of-yesterday Mark recorded this episode shortly before the news broke that the Yes Fragile Tour has had to be postponed due

2026/03/27

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Continuing his sterling work in Kevin's absense, Mark considers his picks for the Top 5 Yes albums since 1980. I wonder how his list will compare with yours. Let us know in the comments, as always. What post-1980 album comes out top for Mark? How does his top 5 compare with yours? Do any of his picks seem odd to you?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark considers the new version of Yes Symphonic Live, from the amazing combination of Anderson, White, Squire, Howe, Brislin and orchestra. Is the new version significantly different to the original? What are the added ingredients? Is it worth the purchase price?

Yes Music Podcast ·

2026/02/20

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we were delighted to welcome Yes drummer Jay Schellen back on the YMP. Just like last time, we had a lovely conversation and Jay shared his thoughts about the forthcoming UK and European Fragile Tour as well as the new Yes album that is now being prepared for release in July (hopefully). It's clear from our interview that Jay is totally committed to the future development of the band and believes that the new album

Yes Guess Who III - 708

Yes Music Podcast ·

2026/02/13

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I had a lot of fun on one of our Yes Guess Who quizzes. Also, as you'll hear, we veered a little off-topic in both the answer section of the quiz and in a two pence segment that was supposed to be about Yes and Yes-related Record Store Day releases, but we enjoyed a little bit of less serious chat a couple of times there. In the quiz, we each had five quotations from Yes men to try and fox each other

Yes - Big in Japan with Glenn Williams - 707

Yes Music Podcast ·

2026/02/06

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, we had a great conversation with Glenn Williams, a rock writer based in Japan who I found via YMP Patron Paul Hailes. We picked Genn's brains about the music scene in Japan today and over the decades to try and find out what makes the country 'tick' and why they seem to receive special treatment from record companies. I have several Yes records and CDs in Japanese import versions, as you probably do and they are

2026/01/30

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I continue our mini series about solo songs that could have been Yes songs and this time it's Jon Anderson's turn. As we did last week with Steve Howe, we listened to Jon's first three solo albums - Olias of Sunhillow, Song of Seven and Animation. We chose just one song from each record that we think could have worked on a Yes album and discussed our reasons. It was very interesting, once again, to note

2026/01/23

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I began a mini series on songs that appear on Yes members' solo albums but could have been re-worked as effective Yes songs. It was interesting to listen to our first subject, Steve Howe's first 3 solo albums, Beginnings, The Steve Howe Album and Turbulence back-to-back. There are plenty of differences to enjoy, plus some singing from Steve. We compared notes on several songs and also assigned what we

2026/01/16

Established in 2011 and produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I welcomed our longstanding friend, Preston Frazier, onto the show to talk about his (relatively) new book, 'Yes Indeed - Yes without Jon Anderson'. It's a fascinating and very different kind of Yes book, as you'll discover. As always, Preston was full of fun, even when we posed him some of the most difficult questions we have ever asked on the YMP. He took these in his stride, of

50+ years of Fish Out Of Water - 703

Yes Music Podcast ·

2026/01/09

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I return for the first time in the 15th year of the YMP this week to discuss some of what we believe are the most important aspects of the classic Chris Squire solo album, Fish Out Of Water. I do mention that it's 50 years since its release but, as you probably know, we are a bit late to the party. The official release date was November 1975 but that doesn't affect any of the points we make in our conversation. As

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Here is a short selection of Yuletide messages and other pieces of audio to finish off 2025. Many thanks to Michael Handerhan for his review of the (fairly) recent Yes show he attended and to Stephen Lambe for his audio feedback on last week's quiz. Thank you to everyone who has listened and/or been in touch in any way this year including all patrons for their support and producers. We are very much looking forward to 2026

2025/12/12

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I recorded what turned into a Christmas quiz. As you will hear, we even diverted into other aspects of the holiday season at the end, so look out for that. As a dedicated Yes fan, you'll want to take part in the quiz yourself by keeping track of your own answers and scores and then adding them to the show notes for this week. Does Kevin or Mark win the quiz? How did you do? What is the Christmas

Thank you to Miguel Falcão who has created the new jingles for 700 episodes and thank you to everyone who has sent messages of congratulation. I've inserted the audio ones fairly randomly throughout the show but I'll start with a few written ones. Over on Twitter or X, Oliver Wakeman said, "A fantastic achievement.

Rotten Tormatoes? The Wembley Recording, 1978 - 699

Yes Music Podcast ·

2025/11/28

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius The Yes-a-verse went into meltdown this week over a new release of the Wembley BBC concert recording. As you will hear, it's a bit of a twisted tale so I was grateful to have Mark to help me wade through the marshy world of bootlegs. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this release, the BBC concert recording from 1978 or anything else to do with Yes bootlegs. Please leave your comments on the show notes for this week's

2025/11/21

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week, Mark and I had a lovely time trying to outwit each other with another round of the Yes Guess Who game. I simplified the rules, as you'll hear, and it went rather more smoothly as a result. What fun we had. Do play along yourself and let us know how you did in the comments on this week's show notes. Who did we choose? Were the questions too easy or too hard? Who won?

2025/11/14

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius From a tiny idea I had about Jon Anderson's use of instruments live with Yes, Mark and I managed to bang on for ages again this week. Hopefully, you will find the discussion as interesting as we did, particularly as I noticed some definite links between the band's sonic changes over the decades, Jon's development as a musician and the instruments he used. In order to create some kind of helpful structure to the conversation, I
