May 2018 was the 45 year anniversary of Yes releasing their first live album, YESSONGS, a 3-LP set which – despite its potentially-intimidating size – became a significant success for the band.
Co-produced by the band with Eddie Offord, YESSONGSClose to the Edge The band went through their collected recordings both from that tour as well as the one they’d done for 1971’s Fragile, picking the material that they believed to be the best of the bunch, after which the tracks were edited and remixed with the assistance of the aforementioned Mr. Offord. This was particularly helpful, as Offord had actually traveled with the band on both of those tours, experiences which left him plenty familiar with the material.
It’s notable that there was a slight switch in Yes’s lineup during the period covered on YESSONGSClose to the Edge album. As such, the majority of YESSONGS

What is High-Resolution Audio?
High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.
What do I need for playback?
You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
