“…he turned up at reception with a crow on his shoulder” and other tales from Advision with Peter Woolliscroft – 512

YMP Classic Feed – Yes Music Podcast

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I met someone who can fill in a few more gaps in the Yes story this week. We managed to track down and speak to Peter Woolliscroft who was only a short time into his studio engineering career at Advision studio in London when Yes turned up to record Tormato. He shares his recollections of the sessions which are rich and extensive and it was a pleasure to welcome him to the show. Listen out for revelations about Tormato and a little bit about Peter’s extensive list of work with some of the biggest names in rock and pop. How were things set up at Advision for Yes?Would it have been better to employ a producer?Who walked into reception accompanied by an avian pal? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
