    and if anyone has seen this disc in England, I'd _very_ much
    appreciate a pointer as to where it might be obtainable :-)
    
    thanks,

    As of now, you can only get the following Yes titles:
    
    	The Yes Album
    	Fragile
    	Close to the Edge
    	Classic Yes
    	90125
    
    The only part of Going for the One you can get is 'Wonderous Stories'
    which is on the 'Classic Yes' CD

    Yessongs is now available too, I'm told. At least, in the UK.

    Yessongs is now available in the US and WHAT A BARGAIN!
    
    Disc 1 - 66+ minutes.
    Disc 2 - 63+ minutes.
    
    All this for $24.99 [price from Rockit Records, Nashua NH.  Norm
    is $31.99].
    
    The only bad part is you don't get the booklet or all the artwork
    from the original Yessongs.
    
    The music is classic [we all know that] and the CD points out many
    of the recording flaws [muddled drums, etc].  This does, however,
    beat the vinyl version to a pulp.  I still heard new things that
    I had never heard before.
    
    Now, if we could just get: Yes, Time And A Word, Tales From Topographic
    Oceans, Relayer, Going For The One, Yesterdays, Tormato and Drama....

    
    re: 544.4 :
    
    Tormato ?? There are but one or two cuts that do Yes proud !!!
    
    The prizes in this group are definitely "TALES..." and "RELAYER",
    can you imagine ' Soundchaser ' on CD ????
    
    Yesterdays will be nice, 'cuz it's a greatest hits of sorts, and
    will preclude the need to buy 'Yes' and 'Time and a Word', and of
    course there is the 'Bruford-ized' cut of S&G's 'America' .....!!
    
    Comments ?  Questions ?

    re .5
    
    Yes, Tormato was [in Steve Howe's words] "schizophrenic".  However,
    that doesn't take away the fact that I would like clean. sharp versions
    of "Release, Release", "On The Silent Wings of Freedom", "Future
    Times / Rejoice", "Arriving UFO" [for the instrumental at the end].
    
    Sound Chaser on CD could be a deadly weapon for one's neighbors
    :->.
    
    I have this fear that if Tales ever makes it to CD, it will only
    have 3 cuts, not the entire four.  I don't think all four will fit
    on 1 CD [total time, near 80 minutes > 75 capacity].  While side
    3 was somewhat forgettable, I'm a purist and I would like it all.
    I keep thinking Atlantic won't do a double-disc set of Tales...
    
    But oh, to hear Relayer, Going For The One, Yesshows, Drama.....

    There is an advert in a cd magazine here in England this month for
    import/rare cds.  At the top of the list are Going For the One,
    and Relayer.  It quotes prices for all other cds in the list, but
    for these two it says price on request.  I will maybe try calling
    them to see what the price is, but I think it's likely that if they
    are proper pressings then they should be in the shops fairly soon-
    the same thing happened when Close to the Edge came out.
    
    However, if they are imports, maybe they are imported from the US,
    in which case, now's the time for everyone to start looking in the
    'Y' section again.... 
    
    I'll update with any extra info I see
    nick

    A friend of mine managed to find an import copy of Going For The
    One here.  The store said that they'd had a special order and ended
    up with two by mistake, which was how they'd got one in the racks.
    The salesman said he thought there were 'about half a dozen' available
    on import.  The cost was �14.99.
    
    If they're being imported from America, why does no-one seem to
    have mentioned seeing them in the notesfile?  Do they exist out
    there?

Both GOING FOR THE ONE and RELAYER were just released in the U.S.  I got my
copies at Rockit Records in Nashua, NH the other day.

Now, if we can just get TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS and TORMATO....
