Artist:  Chris Squire

Title:  Fish Out of Water

Date:  1975

Label:  Atlantic Records   SD 18159

Cover Design & Photography:  Laurence Bernes

Front cover Polaroid:  The Infamous Brian Lane

Notes:  A solo album from the long time bassist for Yes. An excellent record with much of the feel of Yes with emphasis on the bass and rhythm components of the songs. An Squires vocals are surprisingly strong, especially on the cut Silently Falling. Clean, sharp and dramatic sums up the overall feel. Interesting set of cover photos and design. It makes one wonder why there hasen't been more solo output from Mr. Squire over these 30 odd years.
