Yes are to reissue their classic 1972 album Close To The Edge as a Super Deluxe Editon box set featuring five CDs, a vinyl record and Blu-ray disc through Rhino Records on March 7.
The new set features a remaster of the original album on vinyl and CD, Steven Wilson vocal and instrumental remixes as well as Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and Hi-Res stereo mixes, also by Wilson. You can watch a trailer for the new release below.
The set also features rare and unissued outtakes, early versions and single edits of America and Total Mass Retain, as well as material from the band's 1972 Close To The Edge tour including the whole of a show at London's Rainbow Theatre from December 16, 1972.
Originally released in 1972, Yes's fifth studio album Close To The Edge was the first to see the band fill a whole side of vinyl with one composition – the epic title track – and has long been lauded as one of progressive rock's finest albums. Prog Magazine readers voted it the best prog album of all time back in 2014.
You can see the full tracklisting below.
