Jon Anderson's Fairy Tales
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 5 June 1976
A SPACESHIP, perhaps better described as an earth ship, forms the basis of a bizarre and fantastic story that is the central theme of Jon Anderson's long awaited solo album. Called Olias Of Sunhillow, the album has been months in the making and is an extraordinary artistic venture by the gentle, softly-spoken lead singer and founder of Yes.
