Notes: (****) The two instrumentals come with notes on the album. For "Avakak":

This tune sometimes called "Twelve Ways to Drink Meths" other times called "That's Not the Way God Planned It" but most days goes by the name "Captain Morbid And the Breakfast That Came From Outer London".

(The former title "Darch Of The Lesbian Mwarfs")

In 1975/6, all five members of Yes put out solo albums. For his, instead of recording a true solo album, White re-assembled former band mates in a number of projects to make the album. Kirtley, Craddock and White had been together in the Alan Price Set and Happy Magazine, while Gibson had joined them as well in Griffin (see under The Story of Skip Bifferty). Gibson and Beadle also appeared on Steve Howe's Beginnings. Orchestral arranger David Bedford is better known for his work with Mike Oldfield and Kevin Ayers. (HP, 12 May 03)
