The 1990 SARM Demos were the earliest recorded demos from Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe for the upcoming tentative "Dialogue" project. Eventually, many of these songs would find their way to the Yes album "Union."
The SARM Demos are of great interest to Yes fans as they give the clearest indication of what might have been without the over-riding involvement of producer Jonathan Elias. It was Jonathan Elias who grew frustrated with both Wakeman and Howe, resulting in session musicians re-recording many of their parts.
The original demos were rough and the material poorly mixed. Jon's scratch vocals were difficult to hear and very low in the mix. I have adjusted the levels, but don't expect perfection as the source material is very raw.
