New York, NY (August 7, 2026) — Mercury Studios commemorates the 25th anniversary of legendary progressive rock band Yes’s 2001 album Magnification with a dynamic half-speed remaster, available September 18. Magnification marked only the second time Yes had recorded with a full orchestra, following 1970’s Time and a Word. This anniversary edition of Magnification was cut to lacquer at half-speed and pressed on two 180-gram LPs to deliver highly detailed playback. The intensive half-speed remastering process brings forth high frequencies, expands dynamic range, and improves stereo imaging and detail. The Magnification album art was a departure for Yes, as they opted to work with Bob Cesca instead of longtime creative collaborator Roger Dean.
