Page of Life

Page of Life is the fourth studio album from Jon & Vangelis . It was their last together and probably will remain so (2010).

Ideas for a new album after Private Collection originated probably in 1986, but it did not happen. Both men were busy. Jon Anderson singing for Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and Vangelis with his eventual move from London to Athens . Part of the album would already be ready in 1989 and appeared as obscure music cassette. Meanwhile, Vangelis switched from Polydor to Arista Records . ABWH came in 1989 or with their album, including Arista and that includes a track composed by Anderson and Vangelis. It would ultimately take until 1991 before Page of Life, was nevertheless released on Arista. Unlike its predecessor, there is a culture of songs over the "bombast" Private Colletion which there could indicate that Anderson's contribution was greater than before. At the same time, account must be taken of the album directly from Vangelis that was more song-oriented (without containing a song). The album Page of Life rapidly fell into oblivion.

In 1998, Jon Anderson tried the album again; again under the name Jon & Vangelis, but with a different format, and other songs. Vangelis was not amused to say the least, perhaps reason that cooperation faltered. In 1991 there was not a cloud in the sky; Anderson sang at a concert in Rotterdam still with Vangelis.

Vangelis went on to write film music ; Jon Anderson was faced with the amalgamation of Yes and ABWH; making it somewhat strange album Union yielded. The legal wrangling made the realization also not easy.

Both versions sold in the Netherlands is not enough to end up in the album charts.
