Comments: Although not truly a Yes album, the comma in the title following
the word "Yes" is easily missed (this was certainly by design). This
collection was assembled by Brian Adams, who had been Rick Wakeman's manager
during much of the eighties; hence the large proportion of Wakeman tracks.
Adam Wakeman's band, Jeronimo Road, reportedly provided instrumentation on
Anderson's new version of "Owner of a Lonely Heart."
