Yes was formed in 1968 by vocalist Jon Anderson and bassist Chris Squire.
Anderson had already recorded a single in 1964 as a member of The Warriors, a
beat band formed by his brother Tony, and later sang on a couple of 45s for
Parlophone Records under the pseudonym Hans Christian. He was also briefly a
member of the group The Gun. Squire had been a member of The Syn, a flower-pop
outfit that recorded a couple of singles for Deram Records (one, "14-Hour
Technicolour Dream", celebrating the "happening" held at Alexandra Palace on
April 29/April 30, 1967). After the breakup of The Syn, Squire spent a year
developing his bass-playing technique, strongly influenced by The Who's bassist,
John Entwistle. In May 1968, he met Anderson in a Soho nightclub, La Chasse,
where Anderson was working. The two had a common interest in vocal harmony and
began working together soon afterwards.
At the time, Squire was in a band called Mabel Greer's Toyshop with guitarist
Clive Bailey and drummer Bob Hagger, and invited Anderson to begin singing with
the group. Hagger was soon replaced by Bill Bruford, a jazz aficionado who had
played just three gigs with Blues revivalists Savoy Brown before leaving, and
who was recruited from an ad he had placed in Melody Maker. An earlier lineup of
Mabel Greer's Toyshop had featured guitarist Peter Banks who'd previously worked
with Squire in The Syn and who now returned to replace Bailey. Finally, the band
also expanded to include an organist and occasional piano player, Tony Kaye, a
classically-trained musician who'd abandoned his studies to pursue rock and roll
and had already been in a series of unsuccessful groups (Johnny Taylor's Star
Combo, The Federals, and Jimmy Winston and His Reflections).
In search of a more commercially useful bandname, Mabel Greer's Toyshop soon
became Yes. Banks came up with the three letter name, with the rationale that
it would stand out on posters.
The newly-rechristened Yes played their first show at East Mersea Youth Camp in
England on August 4, 1968. Soon after this, they opened for Cream at their 1968
Farewell Concert from The Royal Albert Hall. Early on, influenced by bands like
1-2-3 (later Clouds), the group earned a reputation for taking other people's
songs and drastically changing them into expanded, progressive compositions.
In September 1968, Yes subbed for an absent Sly and The Family Stone at Blaise's
and as a result of that appearance gained a residency at The Marquee club. Soon
after that, they made their first radio appearance on John Peel's programme.
When Melody Maker columnist Tony Wilson selected them and Led Zeppelin as the
two bands "Most Likely To Succeed" (as he states on the liner notes of the
band's debut LP), it appeared that their future was assured.
