Originally launched with the lead single, “The Calling”, the 14th studio set followed the band’s “Union” album and tour, which saw eight members of the iconic prog rock outfit reunite.
The music and lyrics for "Talk" were written mainly by guitarist Trevor Rabin and singer Jon Anderson, who says it is his favorite album from the Rabin-era.
"It was just a beautiful time for me and Trev,” explains Anderson. “It was a very harmonious experience for me."
However, things changed behind the scenes when Victory Music, the original label, went bankrupt shortly after the album's release, and “Talk” was essentially abandoned in music industry circles as Yes moved forward with a successful series of live dates in North America, South America and Japan.
It would be the last time Trevor Rabin would play with Yes as a full-time member.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Spirit of Unicorn Music will reissue the album as a 4CD Deluxe Edition featuring bonus studio material and a previously-unreleased live show from New York, new interview with the principal players by renowned writer Jerry Ewing, a 2-LP limited edition white vinyl set and a single CD.
Prior to the release, Yes will issue a limited edition of “Mirror To The Sky” on April 5, and launch The Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal on April 30.
