Yes - 1969-70 - Something's Coming (BBC Recordings)

The BBC Radio recordings that make up Something's Coming, taken from sources as varied as Top Gear and the Dave Lee Travis Show cover the period from January 1969 through to March 1970 and feature the original Yes line-up (as they appeared on the albums Yes and Time And A Word) of Jon Anderson (vocals), Chris Squire (bass), Tony Kaye (keyboards), Peter Banks (guitar) and Bill Bruford (drums). In the 1970s, these classical-inclined behemoths pushed the boundaries of rock--too far, some said--but Yes actually began life in 1968 as a harmony-favouring covers band with a brave new progressive jazz-rock direction. Covers band? Well, this being Yes, covers meant vaingloriously dextrous assaults on the likes of Lennon and McCartney's "Every Little Thing" and--on the b-side of their first single--Leonard Bernstein's "Something's Coming", the Top Gear version of which commences with--what else--a drum solo.(Amazon UK)
