Steve Howe, guitarist of the legendary rock band Yes, believes the 12-inch album is alive and well, especially now with the revived interest in the analog format.
“Vinyl has never totally gone away.  There are those who completely understand,” Howe recently told Rock Cellar Magazine, just before Yes kicked off their triple-album 3-month North American tour that begins March 1st.
Performing three of rock’s most influential albums in their entirety –  The Yes AlbumClose to the Edge, and Going for the One – Yes members Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, Geoff Downes and Jon Davison will be playing all tracks in the order they appear on the albums.
Selling more than 50 million records worldwide, Yes stretched the boundaries of progressive rock throughout the ’70s with long-form compositions like I’ve Seen All Good PeopleAnd You and I, and Awaken.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
