Having released arguably more reissues and box sets than any major label in 2025, Rhino has already set sights on their first catalogue title of 2026. Might you be interested? In a word: Yes. Following a deluxe box set of Close to the Edge this past spring, the label will next give the lavish treatment to 1973's Tales from Topographic Oceans. Available February 6, this 12CD/2LP/Blu-ray box set will offer more than a dozen unreleased outtakes and live tracks alongside a suite of new mixes of
The cover of Yes' Close to the Edge was a relatively simple one, with Roger Dean's freshly-minted "bubble type" logo atop a color gradient from black to green. But the contents within the jacket - Yes' fifth album overall, and final LP of the decade to feature drummer Bill Bruford - were anything but simple. Building on the sound and style of 1971's Fragile, Close to the Edge was an even more ambitious suite crafted by lead vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Bruford,

Yes' fifth album, Close to the Edge, continued the band's early winning streak. The 1972 release - their final album of the decade to feature drummer Bill Bruford and first to feature the band's now-famous "bubble" logo type - featured just three songs (two of which had multiple movements). But they were sufficiently power-packed as to propel the LP to top five berths in both the U.K. and U.S. and eventual Platinum sales status. On March 7, Rhino will revisit Close to the Edge as a

Think of Yes, and chances are you're not thinking of three-minute compact pop nuggets. The progressive heroes and FM rock mainstays did court the AM (and later, FM pop) radio market, though, from their early days through the crossover hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and beyond. On October 6, Rhino will round up a dozen of Yes' rare single versions for the compilation YESSINGLES. The compilation, which features various personnel and line-ups of the group from 1971-1983, will be available on

If The Syn is known today at all, it's because the band provided one of the starting points for Yes: Syn members Chris Squire and Peter Banks were two-fifths of the original 1968 Yes line-up. Now, Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint is setting out to give The Syn its due with a new compilation. Flowerman: Rare Blooms from The Syn 1965-69 features all four of the band's single sides originally released in 1967 by Deram Records plus previously unreleased tracks and rarities.

Cameron Crowe, in association with Universal Music, has done the (near-) impossible. On July 9, the writer-director will revisit the soundtrack to his 2000 instant classic Almost Famous in greatly expanded, near-complete form, including five - yes, five! - Led Zeppelin songs plus tracks by other typically difficult-to-license artists including Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder. That's not to mention new Rock and
The early 1980s marked a time of constant change for Jon Anderson. He departed the band he co-founded in March after sessions with Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, Dusty Springfield) failed to click and tensions rose with his bandmates Chris Squire, Steve Howe, and Alan White. (Rick Wakeman left Yes at the same time.) He was finding more creative freedom when he joined the electronic music pioneer Vangelis as "Jon and Vangelis." Their debut Short Stories, released in January 1980, was a top five
Jon Anderson's 1976 solo debut Olias of Sunhillow was a lockdown album decades before those were in vogue. Recorded in his home's garage with Anderson on every instrument, the singer-songwriter recalled three months of 10-hour days to bring the ambitious sci-fi/fantasy concept album to life. While its success was modest - it peaked at No. 47 in the U.S. and a stronger No. 8 at home in the U.K. - Olias musically anticipated Anderson's collaborations with Vangelis and is today fondly looked upon
