The iconic band revisits their 2019 four‑song mini‑album in a 15‑song double album and 2CD Deluxe Edition, pairing the original tracks with alternate takes and demos recorded during the sessions, several of which would later surface on “Fly From Here.”
In 2010, after a last-minute show in Zacatecas, Mexico, the band (Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Benoit David & Oliver Wakeman) met up in Phoenix, Arizona to begin writing for the next Yes album. This two-week session would bear fruit to the 4 released songs in addition to "Into the Storm", "Hour of Need" & "The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be", all of which would appear on the “Fly From Here” album featuring Geoff Downes after Wakeman departed during the recording sessions.
Overseen by Oliver Wakeman, and mixed and remastered by Karl Groom, this expanded and remastered edition of “From A Page” incorporates the original 4 songs, along with alternate keyboard versions of 3 songs from “Fly From Here”, featuring Oliver Wakeman's keyboard parts from the original writing sessions replacing the keyboard parts added by Geoff.
Disc 1 also features the studio version of the Chris Squire-written song "Aliens", which was played during the 2008 'In The Present' tour, to create the album which was envisioned prior to Trevor Horns arrival.
Disc 2 includes demo versions of many of the songs, including "Updraft", which became the basis for the 'Army of Angels' section of "Into The Storm", "Don't Take No For An Answer", which was not on the original album but worked on during the sessions, along with an acoustic alternative version of "Words on a Page" and the single mix of "To The Moment", which was previously only available on the original vinyl.
“From A Page” is now available as a 2CD box set and 2LP. Featuring artwork from Roger Dean, the box set includes 2CDs, booklet with expanded liner notes by Oliver Wakeman, a fold out poster and 5 art cards, packaged in a clamshell box. The double LP features the audio pressed on two 180-gram, half speed mastered vinyl, packaged in a gatefold sleeve showcasing the artwork Roger Dean designed for this album.
