Hace mas de 25 años escuche esta version en un kset pirata Golden Age, los primeros 5 min estan "reducidos" a 3:48 min en una version bien nitida del 4to CD recopilatorio de Yes del 2002 - In a Word, los restantes 2:14 min son una joya que pocos lo tienen. Realmente la mayoria de los temas de esta epoca, son muy muy buenos (Golden Age, In the Tower, Friend of a Friend...) incluso Some are Born (que salio como tema de Anderson) en esta version YES es lo maximo....es una muy buena epoca entre el Tormato y el Drama, .. trabajandolos un poco mas facil salian 2 CDs mas de muy buena calidad...
I don't have any doubt that is the most strangest songs of Yes, is clear that have some parting between Anderson and Wakeman (the main composers) and Squire and White (in this song adopted a pasive position), Howe doesn't appeared at all, is notable the weariness of Howe for Anderson and Wakeman here
There were other issues here as well.Anderson took his entire family plus the Nanny to Greece on vacation.....and the other YES wives got angry and jealous.Why HIm and not us?Their husbands (Howe,White and Squire),already unhappy about the "Tormato" experience,came to Paris with an attitude.Jon and Rick started working together as a song writing team because Steve was already pitted against Anderson.Still.....it could have been decent material if they had the right producer with enthusiasm and vision for the band.Rick said the band was "unproducable" then,though.
Howe usually plays a scratch guitar on demos and likes to add other guitar parts later.Those tapes never made it out of the demo stage.I have a cassette with all the songs they were working on.They all sound like demos.
Keep in mind that the terrible production is by the coked-out Roy Thomas Baker-a bad choice.They didn't get the best out of these songs.A good producer would have dissected them,rearranged them and inspired their best.The exact opposite happened.They didn't want to work together.The band was dead.
Love that bridge and outro! Thanks for sharing 😃

Strange. Drama and Magnification feeling.

howe did play, you can hear his guitar at 4:26. he could've done better though...

Is this really Yes?
It's ofc Anderson singing, Squire and White are definitly on this track, you can easily recognize their styles
Howe usually plays a scratch guitar on demos and likes to add other guitar parts later.Those tapes never made it out of the demo stage.I have a cassette with all the songs they were working on.They all sound like demos.
Sounds a little better than most of the stuff that came off of Tormato
This was actually material for the next Yes album which would become Drama. This track is form the Paris sessions from 1979.

I think these tracks are demos.
