Yes Discographies
Contents
Last updated: 27 May 02
There are many different discographies for Yes and
the individual Yesmen on the net, varying in their intent, coverage, presentation,
detail and commentaries. There are a number of sites which try to cover
all Yes-related releases:
-
Notes from the Edge
discography by Mike Borella, was the first Yes and Yes-related discography
project on the net, courtesy of the e-mail 'zine Notes
from the Edge. It still remains an on-going project, now re-organised
over the associated YesWorld and YesNet sites, with the section
for Yes albums split off. It covers most of the main Yes-related albums
in reasonable detail, but its coverage of the more obscure albums is less
good.
-
Many of the Yesmen have their own official sites with discographies, mostly
hosted at the Notes from the Edge pages (start here
for current members and here
for past members). These are generally the most complete discographies
available, but are sometimes lacking in details. Several of the best are
by Clifford Loeslin, prepared for his long-awaited "Beyond and Before"
Yes biography project.
-
Yescography is one of the best
Yes and Yes-related discography pages, which I have had the honour to inherit
from its founder Matt Putzel. With good coverage and considerable detail
(full musician lists, songwriting credits, production credits and so on),
this is an essential site, if I do say so myself!
-
Another quite good overall site is Michael Voronkov's Yes
Discography, including a number of rarities not covered elsewhere,
although much of the content was just copied straight from the Yescography
(without permission) and there appear to be a number of mistakes (notably
confusing people with the same name).
-
Yes Museum Solo Singles—Lee's
extensive site includes a page on single releases by Yes members.
Many Yesmen have inspired their own discography projects, which are detailed
below.

What hasn't been done...
I have been unable to find discographies for various musicians associated
with Yes, like Eddie Offord, David Foster, Matt Clifford, Julian Colbeck
etc.
If you know of such or would like to start one yourself, please get in
touch with me.
