Yes was always considered as one of the key prog rock bands and their third album from 1971 simply titled Yes Album was one of their best, with what is considered as great musicianship, harmonies, and unique songwriting.
Now, this album is getting a super deluxe edition with a newly remastered version along with rarities, two previously unreleased concerts, and fresh mixes by Steven Wilson, including an immersive Dolby Atmos Mix.
The expanded box set contains 4 CDs, a Blu-ray disc, and an LP, which arrived on November 24, 2023, via Rhino.
The Super Deluxe Edition includes Wilson’s newly remastered version of the original album on the CD. The LP is a new AAA cut by Bernie Grundman from the original master tapes. One of the two previously unreleased concerts from 1971 was recorded just a few weeks before the Yes Album was released, while the second was recorded six months later during the band’s U.S. tour.
These performances include live versions of songs from the album, such as “Starship Trooper,” “Yours Is No Disgrace” and “Perpetual Change,” as well as songs from 1970’s Time and a Word.
