Notes2009 digitally remastered two CD set that consists of BBC sessions from 1969 and 1970, when Yes was still in it's creative infancy. That's not to say the band's sound was undeveloped or unfocused, just that they had yet to metamorphose into the Prog giants they were destined to be. With original guitarist Peter Banks plying a somewhat more traditional Rock sound, and keyboardist Tony Kaye eschewing the carnival-like flights of his successors, the original Yes was a much more grounded band. Their covers of songs by Richie Havens and Buffalo Springfield emphasize the Folk-Rock element that played a part in their early sound. Most of the tunes on this set appeared on the first two Yes albums, but these live-in-the-studio versions have more rawness, with Banks, Kaye, and bassist Chris Squire frequently kicking the group dynamic into overdrive. Of special interest to hardcore Yes fans are the previously unrecorded cuts, include a version of the showtune 'Something's Coming' and an original song, 'For Everyone.' Store for Music.
