With most authors concentrating on the group’s 1970s career, Yes In The 1980s looks in detail at this relatively underexamined era of the band’s history, featuring rarely‐seen photos courtesy of author David Watkinson. The book follows the careers of all nine significant members of the group during a turbulent decade which saw massive highs but also many lows. Not only does it consider the three albums the band itself made across the decade, but also its member’s the solo careers and the other groups – including Asia, XYZ, The Buggles, Jon and Vangelis and GTR ‐ formed by those musicians as the decade wound towards a reunion of sorts in the early 1990s.
