   How would you make and structure a 1976 lost album by Yes using the solo releases from 1975-76?

Inspired by these fan made albums on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGMRAS5iH7U (combines different songs into a cohesive suite)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqIAAQuSeyM (mixes songs from different albums into 1 playlist)

The albums allowed are:
Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow
Chris Squire - Fish out of Water
Patrick Moraz - Story of I
Steve Howe - Beginnings
Alan White - Ramshackled
Rick Wakeman - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
Rick Wakeman - No Earthly Connection

Rules:
1. More than 1 singer is allowed
2. Either Patrick Moraz or Rick Wakeman as the keyboardist (you can try to include both if possible)
3. If combining multiple songs into suites, list the songs used and the timestamps used
4. Album length ranges from single LP (2 sides) up to 7 LPs (14 sides), separate your tracklist by LP side length, max 30 minutes for each side
5. The album can be a concept album or not, if so, list the story for each song on the album if you can
6. Have fun!

The album structures you can choose are:
1. Regular album mixing the songs from different solo albums into a cohesive playlist (ex. a few regular songs with 1 10+ minute epic)

2. Close to the Edge/Relayer style: 3 songs (can be all epic or 1-2 epics, followed by a short song) (Talloplanic Views uses this structure, but with 3 epics that combine different songs into a cohesive suite)

3. Tales from Topographic Oceans style: 1 epic song (combining different songs into a cohesive suite) per side
