Thanks so much for the links!! I see this stuff is on I-tunes, too, hopefully without the radio ads.....

OMG, you gotta love the Beyond and Before (What Bass? Mix)!!!!!

A great CD I am proud to say I have owned for several years now (as originally released: Can I Play You Something? ! I especially love his treatment of Peter Gunn and For Your Love. Peter continues to be one of my favorite guitar players of all time (along with Trevor Rabin, Daryl Struermer and David Gilmour) not only for his work with Yes, but also in his other endeavors. His Fade To Blue from the album Reduction is one of my all time favorites.

Good link. Interesting to hear Chris' lead vocals on Get Yourself Together. Hadn't heard that before.

This is just a re-release of Banks' Can I Play You Something? from 1999, see http://www.relayer35.com/Yescography/CanIPlayYouSomething.htm

Pretty similar, but the Yes version is much better vocally.....

Peter did in fact put the Mabel Greer tracks out on his 2000 release titled
"Can I Play You Something" on VoicePrint
But Pete had no knowlege of it being repackaged and retitled "Roots of Yes - 1964 to 1968" While the CD features the 60's songs it is mixed into songs recorded in late 1999.
