Image Entertainment is proud to present the release of Yes: Classic Artists, “Their Definitive Fully Authorized Story” in a 2-Disc Deluxe Set! The DVD set will be available in stores January 15th. The story of Yes is as controversial as their music. The twists and turns of the band’s career is now told for the first time in a series of exclusive interviews with Yes members past and present for this definitive and fully authorized DVD documentary.

Praised and criticized for defining progressive rock, Yes have been surprising and delighting worldwide audiences for over five decades. On record and on stage, Yes created a fresh sound and striking visuals, blending genres and using state of the art technology to push boundaries, winning legions of new fans with each album. Tracing the musical journey from their debut album Yes (1969) until Magnification (2001) and beyond, the story of Yes is told by the members themselves in exclusive new interviews.

The battle for recognition, the turmoil and upheaval, the stunts and pranks are revealed here and illustrated by archive performances, photographs and original music, including “Roundabout,” “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Siberian Khatru” and “Owner Of A Lonely Heart.” Produced with full cooperation from the band, this documentary captures the musical vision and craftsmanship that continue to make Yes one of the great pioneers of sound.

This 2-DVD set is packed with original music, rare and unseen photographs from personal collections, a performance archive, music promos, and includes 20-page full-color booklet. EXTRAS INCLUDE: Extended interviews – Music Videos – Rehearsal Footage – Stills Gallery.
