THE LATEST NEWS 2nd SEPTEMBER

Today I picked up my first copy of the second edition, I am so pleased
we could do this one updated and not just release the original one
again, for those of you who didn't get the first one then here is your
chance. Numbers will be limited and the first edition is a collectable
in it's self now. For those keen Yes fans there is enough new content to
warrant a second edition, it's going to be a collectable also when it's
sold out again.

The book should be in the UK shops in a week or so and about 6 weeks to
the USA, you may be able to buy online through Amazon, check them out
next week.

Thanks again for all the kind words, enjoy the second edition.

Look out for my interview with Radio XM, Lee Abrams in the US which will
be on the Internet about the time the book hits the US.

APRIL/MAY/JUNE/JULY/AUGUST/SEPT 2002

Hello Yes fans; well this is better late than never eh? Here is my
update for you. Firstly the book, well as I said in an earlier update
the second edition is on it's way due to it selling out of the first
one, which is wonderful, it means you like it (phew). As of now there
are only a few left! I had the fortunate situation of being able to
update the book for the reprint with the good news of Rick rejoining
Yes. The numbers printed for the second edition will not be anywhere
near the first print- run so I expect them to go pretty quickly, perhaps
creating a collectable in itself. I spoke to Rick just a few days after
it was announced he had rejoined the band and he was very positive about
everything so lets hope it lasts. I'm surprised at just how much new
material I have put together within just six months of the book being
sold out, the new edition has over 100 new pieces of information in many
areas of the book including tour dates, bootlegs, CD's, programmes and
more.
I am pleased to have been helping with a number of
official Yes projects such as the box set In A Word and some DVD-A's due
for release later this year. I had a call from the BBC in one of these
months as they prepared a program called' The Summer of 1977' in which
they look at all events including musical ones from that year. I
supplied Yes memorabilia for the visuals which also included an
interview with Rick I think it went out on the 2nd June 10.15pm. Some
Yes memorabilia came up for sale at auction recently and made very good
prices, these were three posters from 1971 era and are the oldest ever
to come onto the marketplace, brightly coloured with the old logo. I
still have sales of items on Ebay.com which you can visit from the
collectable page on this site.
I went to see Bill Bruford Earthworks gig in
Tunbridge wells the other month and as usual they where excellent, I am
not even a jazz fan! The band has stunning musicians and I love Bills
drumming, I do recommend you go and see him/them, even if you are like
me not to up on the jazz world, but just to see wonderful musicians
play. The new Yecapade fan meeting in the US went well in July at which
I offered a prize one of my store signing displays from Tower records
September 2001 in London. There were only 2 and this one was signed and
has some yessy drawings by myself. A number of Yes releases have been
out in the last six months and here are my thoughts on just a few of
them.

YES IN A WORD
Well at the moment I still don't have my own copy yet but I have seen it
and
IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, the presentation is one of the best I have seen, I
had a hand in supplying some visuals for the project and influenced the
decision to put unreleased tracks on it also. At £50 it's a lot of money
and for most hard core fans they would have most of the material, I do
think though it's a must as a collection, the best since the last box
set over 10 years ago.

YES 'MAGNIFICATION LIMITED EDITION'
Here is the much-awaited limited edition of Yes' latest work and I have
to say it is worth getting hold of for the bonus disc alone. Stunning
footage and sound from the Symphonic tour make this a must, 'Gates' is
wonderful to have and I think this IS going to be a classic live album
if the standard of recording performance and production is the same
across the whole live album. A MUST BUY.

RICK WAKEMAN'S 'TWO SIDES OF YES'
Coming out before Rick rejoined the band this mostly piano work of Yes
classics will be a hit with fans. Featuring a Roger Dean cover it's a CD
that you can play anytime, a pleasant and enjoyable album that I think
Rick had wanted to do for some time and I for one thought he should have
made such an album long ago. Well anyway, it's Yes but not as we know it
(Jim) it should be in any Yes fans collection.

YES BOOK: AN ENDLESS DREAM OF 70s 80s and 90s Rock Music
The new book from in Canada, which gives his the author's own slant on
the Yes history with particular interest in the Trevor Rabin years.
Quite a weighty tome with an odd choice of black and white photos
featuring the author in the centre. Although I love Yes in all line-ups
personally, there are some fans that do class themselves as Generators
(80's fans) or Troopers (70's) Yes fans and nothing else, this book
should appeal to most fans but particularly give the 80's Yes fan a
boost in their belief that indeed the 80's Yes were the best. The author
has some interesting things to say in an interview on the web page where
will they be by Henry Potts, I say well done for another Yes book keep
um coming, I hope it does well, check out Amazon.com for sales info.

YES PETER BANKS
I was very privileged to get the first copy of this one from Peter
himself he enjoyed mine and at first glance I will enjoy his too. It
comes across in Peter's own distinctive style and when I finish moving I
can re-find the book to finish it, I believe it's only available from
his publisher in the US so do try to find it and check it out.
