Yes On Track 1968 -1991

Yes
are the archetypal 1970s progressive rock group. Playing powerful and
adventurous music when it was briefly part of the mainstream, the band thrilled
millions with their iconic albums and epic live shows. Records like Fragile and Close
To The Edge helped define an era, and although the band dissolved at
the end of the decade, Yes emerged once again with 90125, a streamlined, modern sound in the 1980s and a
US number one hit single in 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'. Now in their sixth
decade, the band continues to release albums and play live into the new
millennium, despite numerous, sometimes controversial, lineup changes.



Revised and
expanded from the author's single-volume edition first published in 2018, this
first of two books examines each of Yes's studio albums between their debut in
1968 and the controversial Union album
and tour, highlighting the many high points and the rarer missteps, and
focusing on the changes in band dynamics that led to varied - but always
interesting - music. As well as a
complete re-examination of those seminal early albums, It includes a more
detailed examination of the live recordings released during this period, making
this the most comprehensive examination of the music created during those 23
years yet written.
