Notes: (**)

This album was released slightly later in the US as The Revealing Songs of Yes, apparently Adam Wakeman's preferred title. The US liner notes include a 3-page history of Yes by Dave Thompson, but omits to say who plays on which track. It also has a different cover.

A somewhat pointless tribute album from Adam Wakeman plus most of the new English Rock Ensemble band. The music largely sticks to the original arrangements. Guest vocalists include Chris Squire's ex-wife Nikki, while Chrissie Hammond should be familiar from several of Rick Wakeman's solo projects. The UK release manages to misspell both Ant Glynne (as Glynn) and Damian Wilson (as Damien). (HP, thanks to Michael Bentley, 10 Aug 01)
