Something's Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969–1970 is a compilation of live recordings by the progressive rock band, Yes. They are the only live recordings to feature the band's original lineup. It is a compilation of the band's early performances on BBC Radio featuring tracks taken mainly from their first two albums. However, it did feature two rarities: the title track Something's Coming from the musical West Side Story had previously only been released as the "b" side to the 1969 single "Sweetness" and the track "For Everyone" which has not been released in any other version.
