What’s Inside Yes’ New ‘Tales From Topographic Oceans’ Box Set?

Yes‘ 1973 double album prog milestone, Tales From Topographic Oceans, is getting a massive overhaul early next year.

The box set will expand the album to 12 CDs plus a Blu-ray featuring various mixes and remasters. It will be released on Feb. 6.

You can hear the single edit of the album’s opening song, “The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn),” from the upcoming set below.

Tales From Topographic Oceans (Super Deluxe Edition) will include multiple discs, featuring a newly remastered version of the album, as well as previously unreleased studio and live recordings.

A vinyl version of the remastered set will also be available.

Steven Wilson, who has previously worked on new mixes of several Yes albums, remixed Tales From Topographic Oceans (Super Deluxe Edition), including a Dolby Atmos version.

Tales From Topographic Oceans arrived in December 1973 as Yes’ sixth album, following their streak of early ’70s prog classics The Yes Album (1971), Fragile (1971) and Close to the Edge (1973).

The two-album set featured only four songs, one per side, and was the first to include drummer Alan White, who replaced Bill Bruford. The album reached No. 6 on the chart, but was not favorably received at the time because of its indulgences (the four tracks average 20 minutes).

What’s on the Super Deluxe Edition of Yes’ ‘Tales From Topographic Oceans’?

The upcoming overhaul of the album will feature a remastered version of the original LP, alongside Wilson’s remixes of the four tracks from Tales From Topographic Oceans and instrumental versions.

Additionally, there will be a disc of rare recordings, which includes single edits and work versions of the songs, as well as live performances from Manchester and Zurich recorded in 1973 and 1974.
