YES – Symphonic Live (Half Speed Mastered Edition) – 4LP – 180g Vinyl Box Set [JAN 23]

4LP – Limited Edition Half Speed Mastered 33+13 rpm 180g Black Vinyl Box Set. The nearly half hour epic Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) appears on vinyl for the first time. The set spans seven sides of audio with an etching on the B side of LP4.

For more than fifty years, Yes has stood at the forefront of rock, defined by their unmatched craftsmanship, creativity and innovation, creating symphonic masterpieces that continue to inspire. On January 23, 2026, Mercury Studios will release Yes Symphonic Live, an outstanding fourteen song live collection filmed in high definition. Vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Alan White recreate the dramatic intensity of their 2001 album Magnification, the first Yes album without keyboards and the last Yes album with Anderson.

Touring in support of Magnification, the band hit the road in 2001 with a new approach to their live presentation. They invited the European Festival Orchestra, conducted by Wilhelm Keitel, to add rich new textures to the performance and bring the spirit of the album to the stage. Alongside tracks from Magnification, they delivered expansive interpretations of their timeless hits. Classics such as Owner Of A Lonely Heart, Long Distance Runaround and Ive Seen All Good People took on an even grander scale.

Previously released as a 2DVD set and Blu ray, Symphonic Live showcases the full scope of Yes music backed by a complete orchestra. The special edition reissue is presented in a CD sized clamshell box including the Blu ray and two CDs, each in its own slipcase, along with a booklet, fold out poster and five art cards.

Symphonic Live expands the definition of progressive rock and brings an even larger sound to the bands already remarkable catalogue.

The 4LP edition is pressed on 180 gram vinyl and mastered at half speed. The nearly half hour epic Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) appears on vinyl for the first time. The set spans seven sides of audio with an etching on the B side of LP4.

(Also available as a Blu-ray + 2CD Clamshell Box Set with fold-out poster + 5 Art Cards. Blu ray extras include the promotional video for Dont Go and the thirty minute documentary Dreamtime.)
