British distributors Odeon Entertainment will release on Blu-ray
Yessongs. Filmed in 1972 at London's Rainbow theatre, this feature film was released theatrically in the UK the following year with a quadrophonic sound track. Street date is April 30th.
Having fallen off the radar for nearly forty years and only being available previously in poor quality bootlegs, this official Blu-ray release has been scanned and restored by Pinewood Studios Post Production into a stunning High-Definition picture and 5.1 surround sound restoration to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the live
Yessongs concert.
This limited edition collector's release also includes four new
Yessongs artwork cards specially created by Roger Dean for this release, and over one hour of new and unseen extras in HD.
Featured tracks include:
I've Seen All Good People, Clap, And You And I, Close to the Edge, Excerpts from 6 Wives of Henry VIII, Roundabout, Yours is No Disgrace and excerpts from
Starship Trooper.
