Box Set consists of:1 CD: 4 new mixes of previously unreleased YES studio tracks: ‘To The Moment’, ‘Words On A Page’, ‘From The Turn Of A Card, ‘The Gift Of Love’+ 2 CD: YES - In The Present Live From Lyon (Remastered)+ Bonus Track: ‘Second Initial’ (live)+ 2 x bookletsArtwork & logos by Roger DeanNew 'To The Moment' lyric video edited by Oliver Wakeman (2019).Steve Howe describes the FROM A PAGE project as: “Good music never goes away or lays down to the commercial pressures that exist. Oliver’s compositions, “To the Moment”, “Words on a Page” and “From the Turn of a Card” demonstrate his musicality and talents, whilst “The Gift of Love” explores the collaborative essence of YES, pooling ideas and then working together on its arrangement, whilst utilising all of its many themes and variations. Karl Groom and Roger Dean both contributed their skills towards making this a worthy further ‘page’ in YES‘s long and diverse musical adventures.”Oliver Wakeman says: “Following Chris Squire’s passing, I felt that the new music we’d created, but not released, should be heard and not sit unfinished on a shelf. And with Steve, Alan and Benoit’s enthusiasm for the project, I am proud to know that this music will get to see the light of day and, hopefully, be enjoyed by YES fans as a piece of previously hidden Yes history.”Alan White added: “I’m pleased to see a gem of YES history coming to fruition in the form of this mini box set. New songs from the past and I’m hoping we can find even more music in the archives for future releases.”
