------------------------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 21, 1993 ------------------------------------------------------- Source: Progrography http://www.connollyco.com/discography/yes/highlights.html Review: Highlights - The Very Best of Yes By Dave Connolly Highlights - The Very Best of Yes Compilation produced by Yves Beauvais Released on September 21, 1993. Ah, where’s Chris Squire when you need him? Atlantic continued to milk their runaway cash cow with a third compilation in as many years, Highlights - The Very Best of Yes. This is little more than a refinement of Yesstory, itself a refinement of Yesyears. Unlike Classic Yes, which broke the traditional mold of chronological compilations, Highlights plays it safe, leading off with “Survival” and following with “Time and a Word,” the obligatory tracks from their first two records. Two tracks each from The Yes Album, Fragile and Going for the One is nice, but nothing from Close to the Edge? Sheesh, the "very best" indeed... Double dipping from Big Generator is a little suspect, although these latter-day Yes tracks sparkle in the digital remasters. Any collection of Yes tracks is bound to sound good, but Classic Yes sounds great - save your money and spring for that one instead. TRACK LISTING 1. SURVIVAL (Jon Anderson) 6:18 2.
