Curious if this is studio or live. Somehow i don't sea WEA licensing the classics to Music Club. But I could picture whoever owns the licensing of the live parts of Keys To Ascension licensing those tracks for the millionth time.

If Music Club is including the Acapella Mix of "Leave It" and "Tempus Fugit", then it's definitely WEA-licensed.

They're studio tracks. WEA has licensed many recordings to Music Club/Demon in the past.

I like the cover artwork. But have no need for another Yes collection.

I like the title, except isn't the word, "Wondrous?"

Even though the way Jon sings it, sounding like "wond'rous", it's spelled "wonderous" both in the title of the song & in the lyrics on the Going for the One cd I've got.

It's a cropping from the inside of "Close To The Edge." This set looks pretty low budget.

I'm not sure if I bought that first one! How'd I miss it? Oh well I have another opportunity. :D

i know that yes has had quite a lot of albums, but i still think the may be dangerously close to doors territory with best of's/greatest hits.

Not even close and this one isn't even a part of the catalogue-just a budget release not even issued in the US.

The only real comps are:
Yesterdays
Classic Yes
Yesstory (just an edit of the Yesyears box on 2 CDs)
Highlights: The Very Best Of Yes
Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection
The Definitive Rock Collection (just an edited version of the above)

There are 2 box sets which are not comps.

And the recent Complete Studio Albums, again a box.

You can find a bunch of import half-assed comps/remixes but that's with any artist. These are not part of the catalogue in any real way.

Wikipedia lists 32 comps-only about 6 of these are official releases.

If you want to say it's 32 look at what they list and it's mostly garbage they had nothing to do with.
