😄 Giles Martin and Steven Wilson… God bless ‘em.. huh?😄 Putting a new life to these classic albums. Making them new again, not ALL is satisfactory but eventually they will be the new “go to” versions. Making old music young again is the basis for thier work. ❤️
All Fighters Past evolved into a section of side one from Tales. I've looked on RUclips to see if I could find "The Dean" track from this super deluxe edition to hear this jam session. Yes did quite a bit of jamming during this era during their live shows so this sounds interesting. Thanks for your review.
1 - "The Dean", there has been a mistake and it is not Yes, as Warner have now acknowledged. The track has been withdrawn from steaming platforms. It is actually a recording of Terry Reid and band playing an early version of "Sabyla" from sessions for his 1973 album The River. Reid began work on that album in 1971-2 with recording sessions in London produced by Eddie Offord, before then largely re-working the album in new sessions produced by Tom Dowd. It seems likely that what is labelled "The Dean" here is from the Offord-produced sessions, which had Alan White on drums, not long before he joined Yes. "Sabyla" never made it to The River, although there is a different track on that album called "Dean". Another version of "Sabyla" was released much later, in 2016, on the archival release The Other Side of the River. 2 - CD2 has 2024 remixes by Wilson, although Wilson explained on Facebook that, "Although the Atmos mix is newly created, the "new" stereo and 5.1 mixes are essentially very slightly tweaked versions of my 2014 mixes from the previous [Panegyric] edition." 3 - "We Have Heaven" is a Anderson song, not Squire.
Scrolling through all the VC channels on RUclips I’m having a hard time finding any channels that aren’t showing 60 year old records and rebuying old music they have already Frustrated!!!
Yes, I know and it's really rather sad. I'll buy 'super' reissue versions on CDs if they feature tracks not previously available elsewhere but this recent trend of issuing gigantic box sets with 3 versions of the same album that are almost identical (Deep Purple 'Machine Head' is one of the most risible examples of this farce) reeks to me of cynical companies trying to exploit grey haired folks - or maybe even younger folks discovering this old music - and persuading them to part company with cash. Sadly it appears this cynical marketing ploy is remarkably successful.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review this in such detail, and I really appreciate the kind words about the liner notes!

Beautiful set. Good chance you would also enjoy 'Relayer', its nuts, one of the most out there albums in my collection.
I was amazed by Fragile, especially listening with headphones
Great review & unboxing just ordered from Amazon for $57....Great price for what you get!!

Thanks for heads up on price drop
Just ordered a copy as well as The Yes Album.
Sounds like a really nice set. I'm going to check it out.
I just found in my hope chest so much vinyl 33's and 45's. Super old. Have no idea what to do with them. I know I will keep because of the rarity.
we have heaven is jon anderson'ssong and the fish is chris's, thanks for the video
What next, The Super Duper Super Box Set ... getting a bit ridiculous.
The original insert is a 5×9 six page pamphlat.
I remember that ! - I also remember it having a glossy cover !
