Parts of "The Gift of Love" were based on a piece of music developed for a planned Chris Squire solo album in sessions with Gerard Johnson after he and Squire left The Syn.
The "From the Turn of a Card" version here is a piano/vocal duet taking David's vocal from that album and using a newly recorded piano accompaniment by Wakeman. "From the Turn of a Card" was subsequently recorded and released in 2013 on the album Ravens & Lullabies by Gordon Giltrap and Oliver Wakeman, with Benoît David on lead vocals. The song was developed at the same time as the other songs, but not completed. The vinyl and first CD contain 4 songs, 3 being previously unreleased studio songs that were worked on in the Fly from Here sessions in late 2010 and the fourth being a new recording of an unfinished song from the same period named "From the Turn of a Card". The cover art was made by long-time Yes collaborator Roger Dean. According to Wakeman, From a Page may be distributed to stores in other countries "at some point in the future". Release įrom a Page was released exclusively through Burning Shed as a single (five-track) vinyl mini-LP (YES002LP) and as the (four-track) first disc of a 3-CD mini box set (YES002BX) along with a re-release of the band's 2011 double live album In the Present – Live from Lyon, recorded in 2009 by the same line-up that recorded From a Page. Wakeman assembled the material following Squire's death.
The line-up is bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, singer Benoît David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman. The release is based around four songs developed by the band in 2009/10, but not then used on 2011's Fly from Here. Wakeman, who wrote most of the material on From a Page, was inspired to release it following Squire's death in 2015.
During this time, the lineup included bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, singer Benoît David, and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman. It contains four previously unreleased tracks originally recorded by the 2008–2011 line-up of the group and intended for release on an album, but ultimately weren't included on Fly from Here. The Royal Affair Tour: Live from Las Vegasįrom a Page is a mini-album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 25 October 2019 by Yes Records.
