Yes - The Yes Album (Blu-ray Audio Disc) * * *

Yes' 1971 Studio Album The Yes Album on Blu-ray Audio Disc. Includes 2023 Steven Wilson Atmos & 5.1 Mixes. Also Includes the 2023 Bernie Grundman Stereo Remaster.

The Yes Album is the Blu-ray disc broken out from the 2023 Super Deluxe Edition of the album of the same name, featuring the 2023 Steven Wilson Atmos and 5.1 DTS-HD MA mixes along with Bernie Grundman's remaster of the original album mix.

Initially released in the U.K. on February 19, 1971, The Yes Album was the group's — Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Tony Kaye, Bill Bruford, and Steve Howe — first album to feature all-original material and introduced signature epics like "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People." The album peaked at No.4 in the U.K. and was the group's first to crack the Top 40 in the U.S., where it would eventually be certified platinum.

Says guitarist Steve Howe, "The Yes Album represents to me the invention of '70s Yes. This was aided by leaving outside material off the record and heavily investing in the influences we brought together, particularly the arrangement skills and utilizing the available best technology. Our adventurism shows in the originality of the music and lyrics, as none of us had done anything quite like this before."
