simon house having a claim to the name is a joke.
ginger baker wanted to take brock,himself,jack bruce,and i think one other
member of hw,and form a "supergroup" that's why they gave him the boot.

Wakeman

i believe with all my heart that the whole abw&h/yes thing was a carefully
planned marketing strategy.
the big fight,then the joint tour.i saw em all.twice.and of course abw&h
left out the best part of their setup,
