On March 7, Yes will unveil a new Super Deluxe Edition of their massively influential classic fifth full-length album, Close to the Edge.
This definitive version comprises 5 CDs, 1 LP, and a Blu-ray. A newly remastered version of the original Close to the Edge graces both CD-1 and LP; the Blu-ray houses 2025 mixes by Steven Wilson in Dolby ATMOS and 5.1 Mix DTS-HD MA for the first time; Wilson’s remix and instrumentals also adorn CD-2.
An unearthed bevy of rare and previously unreleased recordings for the Super Deluxe Edition is featured on disc 3, and a 1972 live show on discs 4 and 5. Pre-order/Pre-save at https://lnk.to/YesCTTE
The Rarities disc features rough mixes, alternate versions, and edits of staple tracks from Close to the Edge. It also includes three previously unreleased Steven Wilson tracks — “Siberian Khatru,” “Cord of Life,” and “Total Mass Retain.” The Live at the Rainbow, London, England, 12/16/72 recording spans two discs and captures the group in their prime while on tour supporting the album.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees and Grammy Award-winning progressive rock pioneers have also shared an official release of the transcending performance of “Siberian Khatru (Live at The Rainbow, London, England, 12/16/72)” as a prelude to the Super Deluxe Edition.
The collection’s liner notes were penned by Syd Schwartz of Jazz & Coffee.
