The new box includes the newly remastered 1973 album with unreleased studio and live recordings
One of the most ambitious albums in rock history, Yes’ Tales from Topographic Oceans arrives on February 6th from Rhino as a Super Deluxe Edition boxed set. The massive collection spans 12 CDs, 2 LPs, and a Blu-ray and features a newly remastered version of the original double album on both CD and vinyl; rarities; previously unreleased studio and live recordings; and several new mixes by Steven Wilson, including a Dolby Atmos version.
Rhino.com will have an exclusive bundle with a 12-inch by 12-inch Tales litho numbered and signed by Roger Dean, limited to 500.
To preview the set, the single edit for “The Revealing Science Of God (Dance Of The Dawn)” is out digitally.
The origins behind Tales from Topographic Oceans trace back to a footnote in Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, which inspired Jon Anderson to imagine a four-part musical journey through ancient Hindu scriptures. That concept took shape across four
side-long compositions: “The Revealing Science Of God (Dance of the Dawn),” “The Remembering (High the Memory),” “The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun),” and “Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil).”
To capture the album’s structural and spiritual ambition, Anderson (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass), Rick Wakeman (keyboards), and Alan White (drums) worked with longtime producer Eddy Offord at London’s Morgan Studios, using Britain’s first 24-track console. Released December 7, 1973, Tales from Topographic Oceans topped the U.K. album chart and reached #6 in the U.S., where it earned a Gold certification.
The new Super Deluxe Edition reveals deeper dimensions of the project with previously unreleased in-progress versions of all four album tracks, providing rare insight into the creation of Yes’ most audacious work.
The set’s live material was recorded early in the tour for Tales and includes previously unreleased performances of all four album tracks, along with earlier favorites “And You And I” and “Close To The Edge.” The shows include Zürich on April 21, 1974, Manchester on November 28, 1973, and Cardiff on December 1, 1973.
