Yes set formats for Keys To Ascension recordings
The release announcement sets 29 January 2027 as the release date. Yes will issue the collection as a gatefold double-vinyl edition, a limited blue double-vinyl edition and a studio CD edition.
The package will also feature new artwork from Roger Dean and new liner notes by Prog magazine’s Jerry Ewing. The format gives the studio recordings their own presentation rather than folding them into the live material associated with the original albums.
Yes connect the set with their current line-up
Yes are a progressive rock band with a current line-up of Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen. The official Yesworld page identifies those five musicians as the band.
The collection links that present-day line-up with a substantial part of Yes’s earlier studio catalogue. It also gives listeners a focused way into material that was originally spread across two releases combining live performances with newly recorded songs.
Keys To Ascension separates the studio recordings
The set gathers the studio pieces associated with both Keys To Ascension albums, including Foot Prints, Be The One, Mind Drive, Bring Me To The Power, Sign Language, That, That Is and Children Of The Light.
That selection covers the complete studio recordings promised for the collection. Its vinyl editions therefore present the material as a dedicated studio sequence, while the CD offers the same focus in a single-disc format.
