About

Mabel Greer's Toyshop are an English psychedelic and progressive rock band formed in London in 1966 by guitarist/vocalist Clive Bayley, drummer Robert Hagger, and bassist Paul Rutledge. The band has two distinct phases in its history; the first period is characterised by a combination of psychedelic, American blues, and classically influenced arrangements with poetic lyrics. It lasted until June 1968, when Bayley and Hagger left, and the remaining members formed Yes.

In 2013, Bayley and Hagger reconnected for the first time in 45 years following the death of former member Peter Banks. They revived Mabel Greer's Toyshop, in the following year with Hugo Barré and Yes alumni Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood, and released two studio albums and one compilation.
