Close To The Edge

The book that comes with the set says that tracks CD3-8 to CD5-4 are previously unreleased. HOWEVER, CD 4 and CD 5 are the Live At The Rainbow show, December 16th 1972, and the recording of Starship Trooper that ends the show (CD5-4) IS the exact performance that was used on the 1973 Yessongs album, albeit a different mix that partially obscures the keyboard solo at the end. (Starship Trooper was not played on most of the 1972 shows) Initial 500 copies sold on Rhino.com included a hand-signed cover lithograph by Roger Dean; housed with backing board, sealed in cellophane with barcode sticker - 0812278126906
