   If you don't know what XYZ is, it was a project in the early seventies after Yes and Zeppelin disbanded. XYZ stands for "ex yes zeppelin" and it was planned to be a band consisting of Jimmi Page/Robert Plant with Alan White/Chris Squire. Plant refused, so the band didn't form. However, there were a few jams/demos and they're here.

Telephone Secrets: slow groovy track with chris squire dominating on vocals and bass. Kind of poppy and underdeveloped instrumental section, but still an interesting piece of history:

Can You See: a demo on a song that ended up being "Can you Imagine" in Yes' last album. Obviously, the yes version is the best one, but it's interesting how it was written  almost 30 years ago.

unnamed: the 7/4 rhythmic riff from Mind Drive! The second half is a jam with some really neat bass playing (check the riff at 5:20, pretty awesome).
