Yes Adds Live Concerts and Rarities to ‘The Yes Album’ Box Set
Yes will release an expanded box set edition of their breakthrough 1971 LP The Yes Album on Nov. 24.
The Super Deluxe edition of the album will contain four CDs, a Blu-ray disc and a vinyl LP. In addition to new stereo, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mixes from Steven Wilson, the set will also include Wilson's previously released 2014 remix, instrumental versions of all six of the album's songs and tracks from two previously unreleased 1971 concerts.
"The Yes Album represents to me the invention of 70's Yes," guitarist Steve Howe said in a press release announcing the news. "This was aided by leaving outside material off the record and heavily investing in the influences we brought together, particularly the arrangement skills and utilizing the available best technology. Our adventurism shows in the originality of the music and lyrics, as none of us had done anything quite like this before."
When Was The Yes Album Released?
Originally released in February 1971, The Yes Album was the first Yes record to include all original songs, including fan favorites such as "Yours Is No Disgrace," "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People."
