I had not heard about Yes rushing Fragile because of lack of finances, but it would explain a few things. After clearing his garage, Rick Wakeman decided to use these analogue instruments to make the Retro albums, but I found them (the albums) disappointing. He made me laugh in an interview, when he said, after switching the instruments on, smoke started to come out of the cabinets.
