Voor de liefhebbers van Fish en Marillion zijn deze CD's zeker een aanrader. 1 op 1 kopies, eenoudig op CD te branden met Imgburn (inbegrepen). Inclusief HD cover. Tevens inbegrepen beide CD's in MP3 formaat.



Yin and Yang are the titles of two separate compilation albums by Fish co-released in 1995. They are a retrospective on Fish's four solo albums and four albums with Marillion.

Some of the 26 tracks (13 on each album) have been re-recorded (including all by Marillion) or remixed, others remain in their original versions.

The re-recorded Marillion tracks are "Punch & Judy", "Incubus" (from Fugazi, 1984), "Kayleigh", "Lavender" (from Misplaced Childhood, 1985), "Incommunicado", "Sugar Mice" (Clutching at Straws, 1987). Another track ("Institution Waltz") is a new version of a Marillion song they demoed but never properly recorded.

The re-recorded solo tracks are "State of Mind" (1990, from Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors), "Credo", "Lucky", "Favourite Stranger", "Just Good Friends" (now a duet with Sam Brown) (1991, from Internal Exile), "Somebody Special" (1994, from Suits).

The title track of the 1991 album Internal Exile appears in its previously unreleased original version recorded in 1989. It would later become a bonus track on re-issues of that Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors.

The set also contains three cover versions: Sandy Denny's "Solo" appears as found on the 1993 covers album Songs from the Mirror. "Time and a Word" is a Yes song recorded during the Songs from the Mirror sessions, but left off the original version of that album. Instead, it appeared on the compilation Outpatients '93 first. It has since been included on a re-issue of Songs from the Mirror. Yes guitarist Steve Howe, who appears as a guest musician on this track, was not yet in Yes when the song was written. There is a version of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's "Boston Tea Party", which is not identical with the one on Songs from the Mirror, but was newly recorded with the members of the original SAHB line-up.
