Okay, it’s not really been discovered. It’s always been there, just the usual legal complications of who owns the release rights. I’m not a betting man, but my guess is it’s not the artist. Regardless, word has it these original unheard recordings by early Pink Floyd (with Syd Barrett), Queen (with Freddie Mercury) and Bowie (without Ziggy) are finally going to see the light of day. Apparently the BBC had them in a vault all these years and now have cut a deal with the artists’ label EMI allowing them the release rights . Who knows what else is out there? Maybe some early undiscovered Spice Girl tapes.

Poster artist Alton Kelly whose graphics defined the San Francisco psychedelic rock scene died this week of complications associated with osteoporosis. Kelly designed posters and album covers for Journey, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and even the Beatles, but is probably most noted for creating The Grateful Dead’s skull and roses logo. He was 67.

Lead singer for Yes, Jon Anderson was hospitalized several weeks ago for a severe asthma attack. Posts on a fan Web site by those close to the band hint that plans for the current tour will be called off due to Anderson’s ailments. Yes are scheduled to make an appearance at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights on July 19.

Revolving World wishes the Yes-man a speedy recovery.
