Yes Album Listening Guides – Tales From Topographic Oceans Part 4 – Sid Smith talks about the context – 597

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller The hugely knowledgeable Sid Smith joined us again this week to chat about the context of Tales from Topographic Oceans. Sid wrote the sleeve notes for the Steven Wilson remix of Tales which was released by Panegyric in 2016. He also wrote the remarkable book, 'In the Court of King Crimson - An Observation over Fifty Years', so we were delighted to be able to ask him about the relationship between Crimson main man, Robert Fripp, and Bill Bruford. Why did Fripp want Bruford? Why did Yes decide to push the boundaries even further with Tales? How influential was the album? Let us know if you agree with us!
