5.0 out of 5 stars
A new take on Yes, September 5, 2004
This review is from: Yes Story (Audio CD)
This 2 cd set, while I don't consider it a set of classic yes music, is an impressive package none-the-less. Included are tracks from different Yes members, as well as live versions of some yes favorites. I was pleasently surprised by the quality of music received, even though the set is priced very low for 2 cds. Every track is solid, with each band member getting their chance to shine. I particularly liked the live versions of Awaken and Your Move. Also very impressive were Rick Wakeman's tracks, especially the 32 minute "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". If you're like me, and haven't yet heard the band's solo works and would like to see the different aspects of yes, this set is a great investment. The artwork, true to yes, is attractive, and the booklet includes several pictures and quotes from band members. 5 stars is an easy choice when considering all you get.

Be ware of cheep compilations flooding the market, July 19, 2005
This review is from: Yes Story (Audio CD)
Essentially a repackaging of Yes Friends and Relatives featuring recent live Yes recordings - like from Keys to Ascension, plus various recent solo track.
There's a whole series of this black-boxed "Story" series. It's merely a way for a minor label to cash in on artists that had once release stuff through them. Such products merely flood the market. Check out the discography on [...] to see was releases are authorised by the group.
