YES Release Fly From Here - Return Trip featuring Trevor Horn on Vocals on 25 March
To coincide with their 50th Anniversary Celebrations at the London Palladium, YES release - FLY FROM HERE - The Return Trip on 25 March. The album features new lead vocals by Trevor Horn and a previously unreleased track - "Don't Take No For An Answer" with Steve Howe on lead vocals..
Fly From Here – Return Trip
can be exclusively pre-ordered via Pledge Music: https://yesthedramalineup.pmstores.co/
The original 2011 release of Fly From Here
featured the band members who appeared on Drama: Chris Squire, Steve
Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, plus Benoit David on lead vocals with Trevor
Horn in the role of Producer.
The addition of Trevor’s lead vocals has produced a
genuine sequel to Drama. Fly From Here – Return Trip was developed as a
labour of love for all involved and the new vocals were recorded over the last
two years amidst other commitments. Trevor began re-recording the lead vocals
the day after he guested with YES at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016 and within
24 hours the rest of the band had joined him at his studio. Additional overdubs
by other members have also been added.
In addition to remixing parts of the album, Trevor
has added personal liner notes and the sleeve design features the painting by
Roger Dean originally used on the inside of the 2011 edition.
Trevor Horn says: “I really enjoyed listening to
Alan and Chris playing together again. Finishing off the album was a labour of
love.”
Fly From Here - Return Trip also
contains a previously unreleased song, “Don’t Take No for an Answer”
recorded in 2011, with Steve Howe on lead vocals. Additionally, the full-length
version of “Hour of Need” is included. This has previously only been
included as a Japanese bonus track.
"It is great to have the original Drama line
up playing Fly From Here plus several other songs Trevor had a big
part in writing." Comments Steve Howe.
Geoff Downes adds: “It’s quite amazing what
Trevor has done with the album and the way it has turned out. It is most
refreshing and adds a whole new dimension to the original recordings from 2011.
I think the fans will appreciate it as a genuine sequel to the Drama album, and
embrace it as a valuable part of our YES50 celebrations.”
