McAlmont & Butler - "Falling" - C/D

yeah this album is just the first two songs and then the last two songs for me but that's an excellent keeper right there

Yes is one of my favourite songs ever and the Jools Holland performance is all time. Love You Do too, still can't believe it got such a muted reaction when it came out. Not a big fan of the first album but the second one was really good.

totally.
it's like they realised what worked for them after the hit and miss of the debut, and just went for it.

The first wasn't an album, though. More like a kind of compilation around yes and you do. The second is great. And as written upthread, bring it back is a fantastic song. Love the riff. And the one eletric guitar chord after the first chorus !

ahh yes .. forgot that.
it is basically a compilation of the singles and the various b-sides.
glad to see i am not alone in the love for bring it back

so has anyone got the reissue of "the sound of" ?

completely in the dark about who this is but gawwwwwwwwwwwd this is amazing

Immense

Am I missing something? This is the regular version/song - what do you mean 'who this is'?

oh shit wait did you mean you're hearing YES for the first time?
How much better is your life now!?

I love it but just realised how much it sounds like “design for life”

This is great, a podcast that reviews obscure demo tapes ends up with Julianne Moore & Bernard's orginal demo for the song that later became Yes - they like it a lot but don't recognise the McAlmont & Butler song in there, although they've since found out. Seems completely genuine.

Thanks for this, fantastic!

altho I was thinking "no way this is Julianne Moore!"

McAlmost and Butler is the name of a tribute band in a parallel universe.

I posted this elsewhere and someone immediately said they must have known what the tape was, but I'm not buying that at all - I don't think they would have been able to keep the act up so well.
