Distinctive vocalist and lyricist best known as frontman of [a=Yes] and for his collaborations with [a=Vangelis].

He was born as John Roy Anderson on 25th October 1944 in the town of Accrington, Lancashire, England, his parents being Albert and Kathleen Anderson. (He was later to drop the "h" from his first name.) He attended St. John's Infants School in Accrington, and made a tentative start to his musical career at an early age by playing the washboard in "Little John's Skiffle Group", which played songs by [a=Lonnie Donegan] among others.
Anderson left school at the age of fifteen, and went through a series of jobs including working as a farm hand, a lorry driver, and a milkman.
In 1962, Anderson joined [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/411488]The Warriors[/url] (also known as The Electric Warriors), where he and his brother Tony shared the role of lead vocalist. He quit this band in 1967, released two solo singles in 1968, and then in the same year briefly sung in a band called [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/368476]The Gun[/url].
In the summer of 1968, Anderson joined a group called [a=Mabel Greer's Toyshop], which also included bassist [a=Chris Squire] and guitarist [a=Peter Banks]. Anderson fronted this band, but ended up leaving again before the summer was over. Anderson, Squire, and Banks went on to form [a=Yes], with drummer [a=Bill Bruford] and keyboardist [a=Tony Kaye]. Their debut album was released in 1969.

His daughters are [a=Deborah Anderson] & [a=Jade Anderson].
His brother [a4080915] sang in [a19787].

Esoteric Recordings release a new re-mastered and expanded edition of the 1982 solo album by Jon Anderson, Animation.

The album was recorded throughout 1981 during Jon’s first hiatus from Yes, with whom he had become an internationally known vocalist and songwriter and followed on from his acclaimed albums Olias of Sunhillow and Song of Seven. Working with co-producer Neil Kernon and a host of talented musicians such as David Sancious, Clem Clempson, Simon Phillips, Stefano Cerri, Chris Rainbow and Jack Bruce and Dave Lawson, Anderson created an album that absorbed the latest electronic instrument technology whilst retaining an ambitious and progressive edge.

Animation was a UK top fifty hit upon its release by Polydor Records in June 1982 and spawned two UK singles, of which the non-album track Spider acted, strangely, as a B-side to both releases.

Animation has since become a favourite album among aficionados of Jon Anderson’s work. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly re-mastered from the original Polydor Records master tapes and is expanded to include the single B-side track Spider and restores the original album artwork in a digipack. The booklet also features a new essay with an exclusive interview with Jon Anderson.
