Rhino will issue a new Yes box set on 11 November 2013.

The Studio Albums 1969-1987 includes expanded and remastered versions all 12 studio albums released by the prog rock band during this period. They are Yes (1969), Time and a Word (1970), The Yes Album (1971), Fragile (1971), Close to the Edge (1972), Tale from Topographic Oceans (1973), Relayer (1974), Going for the One (1977), Tormato (1978), Drama (1980), 90125 (1983) and Big Generator (1987).

In total, 66 bonus tracks (previously released) feature in this box, including the Love Will Find A Way and Rhythm Of Love remixes that were appended to the Japanese issue of Big Generator.

This set will be packaged in the familiar clamshell style rigid card box, with the 13 CDs packaged in simple ‘vinyl replica’ card sleeves. The set will also feature new Roger Dean artwork.

  1. Anybody else have issues with playback of Gates Of Delirium or Future Times?

    Not a scratch on the cd’s, but a distortion will start and then the player just gives up.

  3. There are not ten tracks on the Tales From Topographic Oceans offering. Only six tracks, as listed above as “bonus tracks.” The Revealing Science of God contains the “original,” whatever that is supposed to mean, introduction. There is no Revealing Science of God without that introduction, which means the set does not contain The Revealing Science of God as it was originally sold and intended, only the version that the people who put together this box set included. So, for those who expect The Revealing Science of God to begin with the chant: “Dawn of light …” etc., you will be disappointed. It is not there.

  4. I was just going to post what Thomas said.

    WHY do labels STILL not get it?

    The only place there full tracklist is found is on the disc art itself, which you can’t read when the CD is in play.

  5. Got it today also.

    My only complaint: a booklet / sheet with the actual songs contained on the CDs would have been nice.

    Neither the box nor the sleeves show the track listing of the special editions.

  6. Multichannel, SACD???? What do you expect for £30?

    Got mine today and the box set is excellent, all sleeves reproduced including `Going For The One` triple gate-fold. Oh and they sound great also.

    1. I live in the US. I ordered it from Amazon Germany. The price, including shipping was less than $50 USD! You can log on with your regular Amazon account.

    1. It’s basically the remaster version from 2003 and 2004 including all bonus tracks, with the Japanese expanded version of Big Generator, all collected in a new 2013 packaging by Roger Dean.
