Jimmy Page says that he might release music he recorded with members of Yes over three decades ago. Page made the revelation to Radio.com in a recent interview, saying he was pondering releasing the tapes before the death of Yes bassist Chris Squire in June and had been meaning to reach out to Squire and his other partner in the project, Yes drummer Alan White. “I haven’t worked on it. It’s something I wanted to do after all the Led Zeppelin stuff was out,” noted Page, who says he “absolutely” wants to arrange for the recordings to be released. “I wanted to contact Chris and Alan. The music was really good – it’s the first thing I did after we lost John Bonham.” Dubbed XYZ (ex-Yes and Zeppelin), the short-lived supergroup came together after the death of Zeppelin drummer Bonham in September 1980.
