This Day in Music History: Yes/Talk (03/21)

Released on this day in 1994, Talk is the fourteenth studio album by progressive rock band Yes. It is their first release with an independent label after having been distributed the length of their career thus far with Atlantic Records and Arista Records. 


Talk is also the last Yes recording with Tony Kaye on keyboards and Trevor Rabin on guitars, keyboards and vocals. Pop artist Peter Max created the artwork for the album. I think it pretty much sucks even though I have a t shirt with this logo. It was the first Yes tour and concert that I ever got to attend. It was at the old Orlando O-rena.


Here's one of my favorite tracks from this album:


I also have covered this album in more detailed posts (Side 1, Side 2).

The album peaked at #33 on the US charts (#20 UK) and had one Top 100 single, "Walls", that reached #24.
