Tormato or....

[luckyseven]

Here is a question: What was the original name for the album Tormato? :confused:

[Dragonfly]

I'm not sure but I recall hearing something about the "Yes Tor" that appears on the inner sleeve. I think that was to be the title, "Yes Tor" - two three letter words side-by-side. Am I close?

Yep. You got it Dragonfly. :D

Who was it that threw the tomato at the album cover thus changing the name?

[Original_Shifty]

I thought that was Steve.

[luckyseven]

Hmm, I understood it was Rick. :confused:

I could be wrong, I'll try to find it again.

[Dragonfly]

It's also my understanding that it was Rick.

A bigger question might be, who's that drummer on the front cover? It doesn't look like Alan.

Alan White is quoted in Chris Welch's book Close To The Edge: The Story of Yes as saying it was the designer at Hipgnosis. His name was Aubrey Powell. He is the one who threw the tomato at the cover.
