Came upon this interesting picture of Tales and Relayer side by side. Thought poeple here might be interested. I never knew that the artwork for these albums connected.

Probably didn't and just an interesting coincident. :dunno:

Still pretty damn cool!

They do, partially, if you blow up the scale of relayer to fit.

My two favorite Yes album covers. I think I saw this on yesfans or somewhere.

One is the back cover for an album(relayer) and one is the front (tales). Personally I think it's a coincidence but it is kind of weird.

THX Maj, that was fun

Re: Artwork for Tales and Relayer

Re: Artwork for Tales and Relayer

that can happen with a artist body of work...my favorite x had 3 paintings that worked beautifully together, but he'd done them all separate and at different times...they were seamless...magical but it happens

the castle on the Relayer cover art has been inspired by an original Roger's Dean drawing from 1966 and called ' Happy birthday'= ; a name given by Donald Lemkuhl who received it as a gift from Dean, D Lemkuhl is the poet who wrote the poem on the back of the Relayer LP cover and the texte for the TFPO's tour programme; the original drawing was planned for the inside cover of Relayer but eventually not used; Dean worked on TFTO's drawings when in Japan with yes in 1973 ; Relayer both drawings and recordings are Dean's favs

The cover (TFTO) contains many famous landmarks, (read here )

Seems that R Dean used one of the same 'famous landmarks' pile o' rocks on Relayer too. ;-)


edit: Somewhere... i have the Roger Dean book 'Views" that has great info about these are projects.
