YES The Steven Wilson Remixes hails from 2018 and is a 180 Gram 6 LP box set where the shrink wrap hangs loosely, however the LPs have never been removed from the box slipcase (blackened UPC and corner bumps).  Yes: The Steven Wilson Remixes features Wilson’s remixed versions of: The Yes Album (1971), Fragile (1971), Close To The Edge (1972), the double album Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973), and Relayer (1974). Each remixed album is a vinyl debut, having previously appeared only in deluxe CD/Blu-ray or DVD-Audio packages.

To mark the occasion, longtime Yes collaborator Roger Dean has created new artwork specifically for this box set.  Not only has Dean designed the slipcase, but he’s reimagined the famous art for each individual album.  Close To The Edge and Tales From Topographic Oceans will boast all-new cover art, while the remaining three covers have been reworked by Dean for this project.

Wilson’s remixes have brought new attention to these classic albums, Illuminating long-buried details and putting the spotlight on the contributions of each band member on such classic songs as “Roundabout,” “I’ve Seen All Good People,” and “Close to the Edge.”  These five albums find the line-up shifting with each musical change.  Yes’s third studio release, 1971’s The Yes Album,featured vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Tony Kaye, and drummer Bill Bruford.  The release nine months later of Fragile welcomed keyboardist Rick Wakeman to the fold.  That line-up returned for 1972’s Close To The Edge, but a year later, drummer Alan White made his Yes debut with Tales From Topographic Oceans. Patrick Moraz joined on keyboards for Relayer in 1974.  The one constant remained the group’s desire to push the envelope of prog-rock forward.
