At the close of the 1980s, fans of Progressive rock were delighted and surprised to learn that members of the classic line-up of Yes, namely Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe were reuniting to record a studio album and to tour the World. The resulting self-titled album was originally issued on Arista Records in 1989 and was a global hit. Featuring all of the trademarks of the classic YES sound, "Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe” contained some fine extended works, including ‘Brother of Mine’, ‘Quartet’ and ‘Order of the Universe’, along with shorter compositions such as ‘Let’s Pretend’ (co-written with Vangelis). This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly re-mastered from the Arista masters and includes an additional CD featuring rare mixes and tracks issued on the various singles and 12-inch EPs that were released to promote the album. The original album artwork is fully restored and the booklet features a new essay.
