ABOUT THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1969-1987

The most successful and influential progressive rock band in the world, Yes will celebrate its prolific tenure at Atlantic Records with a new boxed set that contains all 12 of the studio albums they recorded with the label. Each one features the re-mastered sound and bonus tracks that originally appeared in 2003 and 2004, when Rhino’s reissued the band’s catalog.
The collection spans nearly 20 years of music over the course of 13 CDs and includes the albums that earned Yes an international following and helped the English group sell more than 30 million (and counting) albums. Roger Dean, who illustrated many of Yes’ iconic album covers through the years, created the new artwork for the clamshell box that houses the music, making this set instantly recognizable to any Yes fan. A fold-out poster of Dean’s new art is also included. The set marks the American debut of the expanded and remastered version of Big Generator, which was previously available only in Japan.
