I’m publishing this episode on Good Friday so there’s been no time for the usual news roundup. However, Mark and I did manage to talk about ‘Talk’ receiving the box set treatment.
We discuss what’s going to be included – and what doesn’t seem to be included as well.
It one of our favourite Yes albums so there’s plenty to be excited about in this release.
- In what sense is Talk ‘lost’?
- Is this going to be a worthwhile release?
- What’s going to be on all those discs?
Let us know if you agree with us!

We were delighted to be able to speak to Jay Schellen this week about the upcoming Yes UK and Europe Tour and many other topics, particularly his relationship with the late, great Alan White. As you will hear, Jay’s connections with Yes are numerous and he is a truly talented all-round musician, not ‘just’ a drummer.
Stand by for surprising stories, tennis and visits to the pub…
- How did Jay find himself playing with so many Yes men?
- What did he learn from Alan White?
- What is it like playing with Downes, Howe, Davison and Sherwood?

This week Mark and I were due to have a conversation with Jay Schellen about the forthcoming Yes tour of the UK and Europe. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen for reasons outside our control. We will be speaking to Jay on Monday instead so I’m afraid you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer for that.
In the meantime in this very short episode, I thought I’d mention some of the interesting things I have found out about the (relatively) new Yes drummer. See how many of these facts you knew and how many are new to you – most of them were new to me.

Old ABWH and the new Yes video – 618

Mark and I had a fun time this week re-watching the ABWH Brother of Mine video and the new Mirror to the Sky one. Listen out for our thoughts in a few minutes’ time and see if you can count how many times I call the song Long Lost Brother of Mine by mistake. Also, do check out the show notes below before or during listening to Mark and me banging on because I’ve added lots of screenshots from the videos that we refer to in the conversation. You can also watch both videos as well without having to do that dreary web searching thing – it’s just one of the services we offer to listeners.
- Are there any similarities between these two videos?
- How are videos used to help promote songs, today and in 1989?
- Are lyric videos any good?
Let us know if you agree with us!
