New ‘super deluxe edition’ of Yes’ ‘Close to the Edge’ coming in March

The classic Yes album Close to the Edge will be reissued this March, with plenty of extra goodies for fans.

Rhino is set to release a “super deluxe edition” of the album as a five-CD, one-LP and Blu-ray set, which comes with a newly remastered version of the album on CD and LP,  plus Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Mix DTS-HD MA mixes by producer Steven Wilson on Blu-Ray.

The set also includes a disc made up of previously unreleased recordings, including alternate mixes, alternate versions and edits of Close to the Edge songs. That includes recordings of three Steven Wilson tracks, “Siberian Khatru,” “Cord of Life” and “Total Mass Retain.”

The set also contains a two-CD live album, Live at the Rainbow, London, England, 12/16/72, recorded during the tour supporting the record. As a taste of what to expect, Yes has released a performance from that show, “Siberian Khatru (Live at The Rainbow, London, England, 12/16/72),” to digital services.

Released in September 1972, Close to the Edge was Yes’ fifth studio album and the last to feature original drummer Bill Bruford. It was a huge commercial success for the future Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, peaking at #3 in the U.S. and selling over 1 million copies.

Close to the Edge (Super Deluxe Edition) will be released March 7 and is available for preorder now.
