Rhino Records are to release a second Steve Howe compilation album next month.

Titled Anthology 2: Groups & Collaborations, it will arrive on August 11 on 3CD designed by Roger Dean and digitally. It will showcase material from throughout the guitarist’s career, including tracks by Yes, Asia and GTR.

A statement about the 56-track collection reads: “Starting with his work in the mid-60s, the collection opens with songs Howe recorded during brief tenures with bands like The Syndicats, The In Crowd, Tomorrow and Bodast.

“Anthology 2 is packed with many of Howe’s memorable contributions to Yes and Asia. Hits like Yes’s Roundabout and Asia’s Heat Of The Moment are featured along with rarities like Montreux’s Theme – a song Yes recorded during sessions for 1977’s Going For The One and Masquerade, a previously unreleased tune by Asia.

“The collection also touches on Howe’s stint in GTR, the supergroup he founded in 1986 with former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. Also included is Brother Of Mine, a song he recorded in 1989 with former Yes members Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman. The Steve Howe Trio, a jazz band he started with his son Dylan on drums, is represented by Kenny’s Sound and Sweet Thunder.”

The third disc is dedicated to Howe’s musical collaborations with artists including Fish, Oliver Wakeman and Paul Sutin. Also featured are 12 previously unreleased tracks.
