Yes, the British progressive rock icons, will release an expanded and remastered version of their 2019 mini album “From A Page” via Mercury Studios on April 24.
The reissue will feature the four tracks from “From A Page”, originally released on Yes Records. The reissue comes as two CDs with 15 tracks in total: the four original mini album tracks, plus alternate and demo versions that have been sitting in the archives, with some of the ideas ending up on the next Yes album, “Fly From Here”.
The original four tracks, From The Moment, Words On A Page, From The Turn Of A Card and Gift Of Love, were recorded by the 2008–2011 Yes lineup (Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Benoit David and Oliver Wakeman). That lineup wrote the material in Phoenix (Arizona, USA), where they traveled after a gig in the Mexican city of Zacatecas. Alongside those, they also recorded Into The Storm, Hour Of Need and The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be, which all showed up on the 2011 Yes album “Fly From Here”, when Geoff Downes replaced Wakeman.
Oliver Wakeman oversaw the new sound of “From A Page”, which was mixed and remastered by Karl Groom, guitarist and boss of UK progressive metal champions Threshold. The new set includes the four original songs, along with alternate keyboard versions of three tracks taken from “Fly From Here”, where Oliver Wakeman’s keyboard parts from the original recordings were swapped out for parts played by Downes.
The whole thing will be available as a 2CD and 2LP, and you can already pre-order it.
