Yes From A Page

This expanded edition of ‘From A Page’ is pressed on half-speed mastered 180-gram black vinyl.

“From A Page” is an album featuring performances from Yes’ ‘In The Present’ lineup of Chris Squire (Bass), Steve Howe (Guitars), Alan White (Drums & Percussion), Benoit David (vocals) and Oliver Wakeman (keyboards). The songs were recorded during sessions that would ultimately turn into 2011’s “Fly From Here” album, which featured Geoff Downes on keyboards after Wakeman and the band parted ways. The 4-song mini-LP “From A Page” was released in 2019 featuring songs that were not used on the “Fly From Here” sessions.

This expanded double version of ‘From A Page’ incorporates the original 4 songs, along with alternate versions of 3 songs from “Fly From Here”, featuring Oliver Wakeman’s keyboard parts from the original writing sessions, and a studio version of the Chris Squire-written song ‘Aliens” which was played on the 2008 tour on Disc 1. Disc 2 features demo versions of many of the songs, including “Updraft”, which became the basis for the ‘Army of Angels’ section of “Into The Storm”, “Don’t Take No For An Answer”, which was not on the original album but worked on during the sessions, and the single mix of “To The Moment”, which was previously only available on the vinyl.
