Wakeman has been many sessions, other examples are Lou Reed first album & Bowie Hunky Dory.
That curry thing is connected that Sabbath-sessions. When Wakeman played more in that Sabbath album than Yes-album, there weren´t lots of him to play in the concert. Middle of the concert he began to think that he wanted to go to eat curry after the gig & he tried to shout about it to his personal mananger. Mananger heard only word "curry" & he thought his "master" wanted curry immediately. So he brought it to wakeman who thought "what the hell, I will eat it right now!". Of course other Yes members were really mad.
I think it´s also funny in Wakeman when he already had messed up in all kinds of things in his music career, he was one of the musicians in A & M, that felt upset about Sex Pistols in the same record company.
BTW, the mellotron parts in Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album are just great!
