Notes: A combination of two 1974 albums by jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris, although Is It In (Atlantic 1659) is not quite complete (omitting "Happy Gemini" and "House Party Blues"). However, it is the first album that concerns us here: subtitled "The Eddie Harris London Sessions", E.H. in the U.K. (Atlantic 1647) includes numerous well-known 1970s British rock musicians, including three Yesmen.
