Dave Watkinson's financial forensic detective work in the Yes archives - 690

from Yes Music Podcast · host Kevin Mulryne and Mark Anthony K

This week, Mark and I spoke to the redoubtable David Watkinson who has published another fabulous Yessay (see what he did there?) on Forgotten-Yesterdays.com. This time, it's about a subject that might appear a bit dry - the band's accounts books from 1969-1970. In fact, there is a huge amount that can be gleaned from the documents as you will hear in a few minutes' time. Can you guess what are the largest - and the most bizarre - expenses the band incurred at this time? Prepare to be amazed, as they say. Yes were into Coke!?! Which member of the band was an official Director of the first ever Yes limited company? Why was there a separate charge for taking a bath? You might - or might not - want to read Dave's Yessay before listening to us banging on about it. If you do, you can find the link on the show notes for this episode over at YesMusicPodcast.com.
