While you are correct about Wakeman not being on "The YES Album", Bruford most
definitely was on "Close to the Edge".  He made some excellent contributions to
that album.  The album that White first appeared on was "Tales from Topographic 
Oceans", if I am not mistaken.  By the way, "The Age of Atlantic" was a domestic 
release that has some excellent songs, my favorite being their rendition of 
"America".  It is somewhat difficult to find, and, for all I know, may be 
out of print by now.
