Details 
Contributing artists:      
Thomas Jefferson Kaye (guitar); Eric Clapton, Dr. 
John, Rick Danko, Steve Miller, Timothy B. Schmidt, 
Jeff Skunk Baxter, Joe Walsh, Don Henley, Robbie 
Krieger, Don Henley, Steve Miller 

recorded in 1996? this sounds like brand new radio 
hits from some of the best artists from the 1970s, 
long after these artists recorded anything like this. 
Did these guys bring a hit with them to record with 
Old Tom or did Old Tom still have a batch he was 
sitting on from the hey day or maybe could still 
produce but was c**kblocked from letting em out? 
You be the judge!!! 

Fantastic worked out, and demo pieces equal best 
of America, CSN, Eagles, Neil Young, etc. But why 
were they not released, the notorious villian THE 
RECORD COMPANIES? 

You will have to purchase a used copy as it is 
unavailable new, think you will get quite a revelation, 
for those curious! I know that some are remakes 
from the original early releases, Guy Clarke(Byrds), 
Dr. John..... 

The producer can take on many elements, writing, 
arranging, engineer, mixer, god....... point being this 
term can encompass major or minor elements in 
the production of the final product.

	Would Lynyrd Skynyrd of had the success they had, without Al Koopers production on pronounced and Second Helping? Compare Yes - 90125 to Genesis - A Trick of the Tail two of the most commercial releases by these bands, 1983 vs. 1976, but gauging the time they were released were they not pretty equal for their time period seeing that things were much more difficult to produce in the later years. Hackett vs Rabin in atmospheres Anderson vs Collins in writing look at the formula then look at Yes -90125(1983) and Art of Noise(1984) do you see any simularities? producer influence? compare with the output of Yes from Relayer to Trevor Horn, dont expect the past to happen again, but appreciate when it is revived. Its OK and a treat to see the guitar work in an accent role and Jons vocals to take more of a foreground. And he best most coherant vocals ever. Chris Squires bass playing almost creates cartoons! Trevor Horn in my opionion did a great job working with the strenghts and weaknesses of the band and I think 90125 is a testament to that. One of the best albums Yes ever recorded.
