Their acclaimed third album (1971) is the first to feature guitar wizard Steve Howe. It also introduced such signature tracks as "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People." Includes new liner notes and three bonus tracks.

After the recording of "Close to the Edge", and at the height of the band's success, Bruford quit the band to join King Crimson. He was replaced by former Plastic Ono Band drummer Alan White, a more conventional rock drummer and a distinct contrast to the jazz-influenced Bruford. White was brought into Yes several months before the release of "Close to the Edge". Their early touring with White was featured on their next release, the three-record live collection Yessongs, recorded on their world tour in late 1972 and early 1973.

Relayer is the seventh studio album by the progressive rock band Yes. Recorded and released in 1974, it is the only Yes studio album to feature Patrick Moraz, who replaced keyboardist Rick Wakeman earlier in the year. History After the ambitious double-concept album Tales from Topographic Oceans, Rick Wakeman left Yes to resume his solo career. The band auditioned several prospective replacements, the closest contender being the Greek keyboardist Vangelis. He did not become a member of Yes, but these auditions paved the way for several future collaborations between Vangelis and Jon Anderson.
