To celebrate the 70th birthday of Chris Squire on March 4, and the first appearance on BBC’s John Peel’s Night Ride, finally a CD release of the first pre-Yes recording collection called ‘Images’.
Written by Chris Squire and Clive Bayley. The original ‘Beyond And Before’, and ‘Get Yourself Together’ (the first time Chris ever sang lead vocals) plus 3 more. The unforgettable bass style of 20 year old Chris Squire, the west coast guitar sounds of Peter Banks and the fuzz box/wah-wah pedals guitar of 18 year old Clive Bayley, along with early pre-Jon Anderson vocal harmonies make this CD a great collectors item.

Unusually, Chris Squire on lead vocals on this one... Includes the interesting metaphor for taking a chance with love... "Engine drivers take their chances, train may someday leave the rails...".
lyrics
Get Yourself Together
Sometimes I know that you deceive me, other times I know you lie
I tell you truths you don’t believe me, please tell me the reason why
Is it that we should have parted
When our love began to die
Let’s go back to where we started
Dreaming dreams like in the sky
Get yourself together, we’ll make it together
Love forever more
What amazing circumstances, brought our true love to go stale
Engine drivers take their chances, trains may someday leave the rail
Is it that we should have parted
When our love began to die
Let’s go back to where we started
Dreaming dreams like in the sky
Get yourself together, we’ll make it together
Love forever more
Sometimes I know that you deceive me, other times I know you lie
I tell you truths you don’t believe me, please tell me the reason why
Is it that we should have parted
When our love began to die
Let’s go back to where we started
Dreaming dreams like in the sky
Get yourself together, we’ll make it together
Love forever more
