The twenty-fourth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring the quasi-Yes studio album, 'Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe'.
Is this a Yes album and does it matter?
No Chris Squire, no Yes?
Should this have been a more permanent line up?

What I missed out
I meant to mention the art work on ABWH but missed it out by mistake. It's by Roger Dean and is, in fact, my favourite of his paintings. Clearly, this was an attempt to link the album as closely to 70s era Yes as possible - like the fact that live shows by ABWH were entitled, 'An Evening of Yes Music Plus.'

Theme music
The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I put it together from the following two creative commons sources:
