Bill Bruford’s final album with Yes before he joined King Crimson, Close To The Edge, is reissued in two brand new editions this month.
This seminal prog rock classic has been remixed by Steven Wilson and the release, (available in both CD/ DVD-A / and CD/Blu-ray) has been overseen by Panegyric, the same label responsible for the King Crimson 40th Anniversary Editions. You can take a look at the Blu-ray edition over on the blog.
Thus sayeth the blurb...
Close To The Edge is the first in a series of remixed and expanded Yes albums.
Presented in a mini vinyl replica gatefold card sleeve (with protective inner sleeves) with booklet featuring new sleeve notes by Sid Smith, along with rare photos and archive material, the album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters by Steven Wilson and is fully approved by Yes.
The CD features a new stereo album mix by Steven Wilson, a new mix of America and an early mix of Close to the Edge.
