Yesyears

Yesyears is the first boxed set by English progressive rock band Yes, released in August 1991 on Atco Records. After the group left Atco for Arista Records when they became an eight-man formation in 1990, the deal gave Atco the right to the band's back catalogue, thus allowing them to release a career-spanning box set. Yesyears contains studio and live tracks from 1969 to 1991 with previously unreleased mixes and songs, digitally remastered by Joe Gastwirt.

Video
Yesyears is a 1991 video retrospective covering the band's history to that point, from their formation in 1968 through their 1991 album Union and its subsequent tour. It was released in conjunction with the box set. The video features interviews with the entire band, which, at the time of filming, featured eight members (Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Tony Kaye, Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White). This rockumentary mixes new interviews with archive clips from live concert footage, recording session footage, television appearances and music videos, as well as a behind the scenes look at the then-ongoing 1991–1992 Union tour. The video was originally released on VHS. In the UK, both Yesyears and Greatest Video Hits were reissued on DVD on 9 February 2003, though Yesyears has never officially appeared on DVD in the US. AllMusic called the video: "A surprisingly good and honest portrait of the band and its entire history" and said the interviews are "surprisingly candid". == References ==
