Gearing up to give the Steven Wilson mixes their maiden spin so I figured I’d start at the beginning. Here, in 1969, the band is very new - some of this material originated in their precursor band, Mabel Greer’s Toy Shop, and some were cleverly arranged cover songs. The original songs were quite different from what was to come but they also sounded like no one else. This uniqueness would put Yes in its own league for the next half-century. An overlooked gem of a debut.
