Commments: From the inter-notes about Yes.
     Veteran Yes-men Jon Anderson, Tony Kaye, Chris Squire and Alan White,
plus newcomer Trevor Rabin got together with producer Trevor Horn (of Buggles
renown) in 1983 and cut the British progressive-rock band's reunion /
comeback LP, 90125.  Out in the States that November and platinum by
mid-January '84, the Top 5 album included Yes' only #1 U.S. single, "Owner of
a Lonely Heart."  The Group also landed their first Grammy - Best Rock
Instrumental for the track "Cinema."
     The second 90125 45,"Leave It," featured a spine-tingling vocal intro
with Anderson on lead and peaked at #24 in the U.S. during spring '84.  That
version also included the band, but here, it's the rare, a capplla mix from
the single's B-side.
