'NEW WAY OF LIFE' by the band MABEL GREER'S TOYSHOP (MGT) is about authenticity without compromise, a unique and very special album. At once certainly different from all twenty-one "YES" studio albums, it still has early MGT vibes from the time Chris Squire, Peter Banks, Tony Kaye and Jon Anderson were in the band. The album demonstrates the evolution of the group starting out in the sixties and how life experiences have since shaped the music. "We hope that YES followers everywhere enjoy this offering. It's a piece of history brought to life by the technology of today. The album includes new versions of old classics like Beyond & Before, and a whole lot of new music too," says Clive Bayley, singer, guitarist and songwriter.
The album has been co-produced by YES producer and former member Billy Sherwood who also plays keyboards alongside Tony Kaye and bass alongside Hugo Barré on the album.
Two of the songs, now with new versions, 'Beyond & Before' and 'Sweetness', featured on the very first YES album in 1969; the former co-written by Clive Bayley and Chris Squire and the latter by Bayley, Squire and Jon Anderson. Other new versions of old songs on the album co-written by Bayley and Squire are: 'Jeanetta', 'Get Yourself Together', 'Images of You & Me' and 'Electric Funeral'. The other tracks are all new works written mainly by Bayley.
