Hi. So, you may be asking, "why do you want this so bad? It's not really all that lost." And yes I know that. Except it's nearly impossible to find a ton of different songs they feature in the 29 set of bootleg tapes. While some of the songs featured in them have finally been officially released, there are still so many more songs from the collection that has not been released. And there aren't any mp3's of many of the songs that are online, as they were all taken down it seems. Anyways, here is a link to a description about them all.

Basically, it would be nice to try to find some copies of the tapes and make some rips of all the songs in the best possible quality we can get them to be in.

Okay, so after having gotten off of my lazy ass and actually trying to start looking around for the mp3's I found the site that used to host them.
yesoteric.southside.org
Except here's the problem.
The earliest saved version of the site on web archive is already at the point in which that Yesoteric part of the site had to be deleted.
Either we find someone who has those mp3's saved, or we try to find a very good quality copy of the tapes on ebay or something and try to rip them and put them up online.

This video right here seems to be one of the only things I can find that has a song most likely from Yesoteric. Hell, it's what made me start the search as I had read a comment asking if it was the Yesoteric version and after having read more about it, I decided to hunt down any and all mp3's of Yesoteric. I asked the guy in the comments section that mentioned Yesoteric if he might be a lead, hopefully that goes somewhere.

I know for a fact the links below were part of the collection, better record them while you can before they get deleted, also using the link at the bottom, you should be able to locate these songs and what Yesoteric they were on...

XYZ demos - Jimmy Page/Squire and White demos

Hold On Demo from the 90125 sessions
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js-aCAasE0U
It Can Happen - Chris Squire singing - Demo 90125

Leave It acapella version - 12" On Tape
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S4lDqI4yBo
Love Will Find A Way - Demo
On and on, I'll leave it to the rest of you to find them all and put it on a website

This is all 29 tapes and all songs reviewed in the series, maybe, if you contacted the guy he could direct you to someone who might copy all the CD's for you? I think they are mostly afraid of lawyers getting involved?
eichler.byethost11.com/misc/Yesoteric.html

The good thing about that list is, you can google the songs or try to find them on Youtube or elsewhere..

Also, a lot of examples from the Yesoteric series was including on the YES YEARS 4 CD set as well as 12" On Tape as both those were official releases. Yes Years should be easy to find as those were on CD, but 12" On Tape was cassette and Album only, so that will be tough to locate and you would have to have a way of playing them.

One last gem, owner without guitars for rockband

Hope some of this helps?

That's some help. Also, I do believe another part about it that's hard to copy them is that they're tapes, not cd's. So that'll be a bit of an issue.

I realize this thread is over six years old, but if anyone is still looking for the Yesoteric tapes, it looks like someone put the whole thing up on archive.org:

archive.org/details/Yes_Series_Yesoteric

I'm not the person who put it up on archive.org, but I am the guy who wrote that byethost page linked above. At some point after I wrote that page, the whole series got reorganized into "Chronicles" tracks (rare live performances by Yes) and "Non-Chronicles" (b-sides, demos, related bands, etc), so the order of the tracks on archive.org doesn't match the tape listing on my page. But I think everything is up there.

I downloaded it and spot checked some tracks - the sound quality varies, some of it sounds better than the tapes I got back in the 90s, some of it sounds much worse. But it's available if anyone's still curious about it.
