The band recorded the original version of “Fly from Here” during breaks in touring in 2010 and 2011, and they enlisted former Yes frontman Trevor Horn as producer.
Upon its 2011 release, the original record peaked at No. 30 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 36 on the US Billboard 200.
The alternative version of the album – titled “Fly From Here – Return Trip” – features the classic “Drama”-era line-up who were reunited in 2018 to create a new version featuring all new vocals from Trevor Horn plus new instrumental parts, alongside a more organic mix highlighting Chris Squire's unique voice and bass contributions as well as additional parts from Steve Howe and Geoff Downes.
The 2025 versions include a 1CD, 2LP (In a Tip on Sleeve) and an exclusive Super Deluxe Edition Blu Ray featuring a new Atmos mix by Richard Whittaker.
The Vinyl and CD have an exclusive instrumental mix of “Fly From Here” as a bonus track.
The Blu Ray features a new Atmos mix by Richard Whittaker as well as 5.1 / Stereo / Atmos Instrumental / 5.1 Instrumental / Stereo instrumental / Original Stereo mixes.
