This unique and meticulously researched book will delight both Yes
fans and students of the 1960s music scene. It is essential reading
for all lovers of the world's greatest progressive rock band, and
fans of the genre's finest vocalist - Jon Anderson. Jon Anderson is
the enigmatic lead singer and founding member of Yes. He is also a
composer, artist, writer, dreamer, lyricist, poet and musician,
with a career spanning more than fifty years. Many books have been
written about the band, but until now none have covered Jon's early
years in his first band, The Warriors, in any sort of detail. David
Watkinson takes us on a journey from the Lancashire beat music
scene in the early 1960s to the vibrancy of London later in the
decade. In the short time The Warriors existed - from 1963 to 1967
- they released a single, appeared on TV and in a movie, and spent
a year following in the Beatles footsteps as a working group in
Germany. As well as providing a complete history of The Warriors,
this book also follows Jon's subsequent career in London, via
appearances with Gun and his brief solo career as Hans Christian.
He finally met Chris Squire and found a home in Mabel Greer's
Toyshop, as that group gradually morphed into Yes during the summer
of 1968. The book includes new interviews with Jon and many members
of The Warriors, through its various line-up changes, most for the
very first time. It also features a newly-researched family tree,
never before seen photographs, both of the Warriors and the first
line up of Yes, plus many items of memorabilia and an exclusive
look into the band's diaries. It closes with a comprehensive
discography and a collectables section.
