Yes's career-defining album!

Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and Grammy Award-winning progressive rock pioneers Yes unveil a BD breakout of the Super Deluxe Edition of their massively influential classic fifth full-length album, Close To The Edge. The Blu-ray houses 2025 mixes by Steven Wilson in Dolby ATMOS and 5.1 Mix DTS-HD MA for the very first time.

Guitarist Steve Howe shares that "Close To The Edge is YES‘ most miraculous album; it has our first 20-minute epic, the template for many large-scale tracks that followed, accompanied by two ten-minute tracks, similarly recorded with the highest musical and technical integrity. Recording Fragile was an experience that enabled us to make Close To The Edge Yes's career-defining album."

Steve Howe (guitarist), Jon Anderson (lead vocals), Chris Squire (bass), Rick Wakeman (keys, piano, organ), and Bill Bruford (drums, percussion) entered Advision in London in June 1972 to bring Close To The Edge to life alongside trusted cohort and longtime producer Eddy Offord. Together, they conjured magic with the likes of the multi-part progressive suites "Close to the Edge" and "And You and I" as well as "Siberian Khatru." The record first landed on September 8, 1972, and vaulted into the Top 3 of the Billboard 200, going RIAA platinum. Indicative of its impact and influence, the LP earned a coveted spot on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." Pitchfork rated it a rare "9.0," hailing it as "The Band's crowning achievement."
