[Late 1976]

WAKEMAN BACK WITH YES:  Keyboards player Rick Wakeman left 
Yes in 1974 and vowed he would not return.  He has, however, 
changed his mind.  Wakeman is now in Montreux, Switzerland, 
working with the group on an album that will be out early next year.  
After the release the group will do a world tour.
Wakeman's return to Yes, which records for Atlantic, has no effect on 
his solo contract with A&M Records.  His next A&M release is ''White Rock,'' 
a sound-track album for a film about the last Winter Olympics at Innsbruck, 
Austria.  The album should be in the stores next month.

[Early 1977]

YES:  The new Yes album, featuring Rick Wakeman for the first time 
in about three years, is completed but is still untitled.  According 
to an Atlantic Records spokesman, the album, a probable June release, 
is a collection of unrelated songs rather than the usual Yes concept 
album.  The group, including Wakeman, will begin touring in midsummer.
