[cinderella]

1. Sweet Dreams
2. Time And A Word



Don't like the rest.

[Faceintheplace]

The Prophet (the intro showed signs of what was to come on the Yes Album and in the 70's epic peices)
Astrall Traveler
Then
No Opportunity.... (my favorite way to hear it is on the Beatclub dvd)
Sweet Dreams (I like the original mix/ West German mix the most that's about a minute longer than the album version. There's some great BBC performances of it as well, some with slightly different lyrics on the verses.)
Time and a Word
Everydays (it's good but I prefer the b-side version)
Clear Days

[yarstruly]

Then
No Opportunity.... (my favorite way to hear it is on the Beatclub dvd)

I hope my review is okay. I'm still fairly new to Yes's music, but I can tell you the songs I like, as they stick in my mind the most. The songs I would rate first are clear days, as I love the melody, Jon's vocals, and the lyrics are nice as well. No oppertunity is very awsome! I love the intro the best! Everydays is nice, and I like the bluesy feel to it. Time in a word is great too. All the rest of the songs don't appeal to me yet, but they may.

[Colors of Jade]

To the person who said they liked the b side of clear days better, I'd never heard it? Is it official? And where can I hear it? Also, how is it different?

[90125yes]

pointless excersise on a record i don't play that often

[Colors of Jade]

I'd really love to find that b side. Has anyone else hear it? And does it sound different? I guess the only way to hear that is to get a record player. Lol!

[Faceintheplace]

It's Everydays I was refering to and the b-side version is on the Rhino reissue of the first Yes album. The b-side version of Everydays was released in 1969.

[Colors of Jade]

I'll have to check that out. I'm still a fairly new yesfan, but I will listen to both verssions and tell you all which one I like best.

Bumping up so people who haven't seen these can tell us their opinions....
