Yesyears is a career-spanning collection of music by progressive rock band Yes released as a four-disc box set in 1991.
It was compiled following the release of Union and Yes's departure from Atlantic Records, with whom they had been contracted since 1969 (and the offshoot label Atco Records since 1983).
Yesyears covers the band's musical story from 1969's debut Yes to studio material recorded with Billy Sherwood following Jon Anderson's departure in 1988.
One of the major attractions of Yesyears was its inclusion of rare material, including many previously unreleased songs, and a full-colour booklet detailing Yes's history.
Yesyears was first released in August 1991 when the band was out on tour supporting Union. The band had left Atlantic/Atco Records for Arista Records after more than 20 years with the label.
Yesyears was put together as a retrospective of their time on Atlantic with a few unreleased cuts mixed in.
This was still fairly early days for cds. Boxes like this were the rage for record companies who were hoping to sell to people who were still switching over from vinyl.
A nice outer sized lp box with a big book inside. On top of that, all the songs on here are remastered by Joe Gastwirt and this would mark the beginning of the Yes remasters of the early 1990's.
The first disc starts with the a-side stereo single from the Netherlands of Something's Coming which makes it's cd appearance here.
Survival and Every Little Thing are the versions that appear on the first Yes album.
Then and Everydays are previously unreleased BBC recordings.
The remainder of the first disc and all of the second, except for the single edit of America, are all album tracks taken from Time and a Word, The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge,
Tales From the Topographic Oceans and Relayer.
Disc three picks up with more rarities and unreleased songs starting with the single edit of Soon.
The remainder of disc three is given to the era from Going For the One through Drama mixed in with single b sides like Abilene and unreleased songs like Amazing Grace, Money, and Vevey.
The disc ends with a live cover of The Beatles I'm Down. The final disc covers the Trevor Rabin era of the band starting with a couple of unreleased Cinema sessions.
A string of songs from 90215 and Big Generator are followed by three songs from the Westwood One radio broadcast from Houston, Texas on the Big Generator tour.
The disc ends with an early Union outtake called Love Conquers All. A pretty good box from it's era.
