Yes are to have The Symphonic Music Of Yes reissued by Voiceprint Records on July 30.

The album was originally released  through RCA Victor back in 1993 and saw Yes members Steve Howe, Bill Bruford and Jon Anderson involved in orchestra versions of a selection of Yes classics with former Jethro Tull arranger Dee Palmer and both the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra.

The album, which was engineered by Alan Parsons, also featured keyboard player Julian Colbeck, who performed with Yes offshoot Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and Steve Hackett, and bass player Tim Harries, who performed with Bill Bruford's Earthworks.

The album formed part of a series of releases that Palmer created, which also featured artists such as Genesis, The Beatles and Jethro Tull.

The Symphonic Music Of Yes will be available as a CD and download. A limited edition blue vinyl run of 500 copies will be available in September.
