About Ultimate Yes [The 35th Anniversary Collection]

The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection is a triple compilation album by progressive rock band Yes, was released in 2003 in the United Kingdom and in early 2004 in the United States, and covers the length and breadth of the band's thirty-five-year career. Released on Warner Music in the UK as a double CD, the United States edition - on Rhino Records - included a bonus disc of acoustic recordings of old and new material recorded in October 2003. One song from the third disc, "Show Me," is based on a recording from the "Fragile days," according to Jon Anderson in Yesspeak Live: The Director's Cut. Both editions also feature a different track listing and running order. The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection entered the United Kingdom charts at number ten upon its mid-2003 release, giving Yes their highest charting album there since 1991. The album was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (for over 100,000 copies sold in the UK). In the United States, it reached only number 131. more »
