Album Description
Available in:
Relayer is the seventh studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 28 November 1974 in the United Kingdom and 5 December 1974 in the United States by Atlantic Records. Following the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman, the group recruited Swiss player Patrick Moraz as his replacement in August 1974 and recorded the album in bassist Chris Squire's home in Virginia Water, Surrey. Similar to their 1972 album Close to the Edge, the album includes a side-long track, "The Gates of Delirium", and two on the second side, "Sound Chaser" and "To Be Over". The album saw Yes venture into elements of jazz fusion.

Relayer received a mixed to positive reception from contemporary and retrospective critics. It reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and number 5 on the Billboard 200 in the US. The album's single, an edit of the closing section of "The Gates of Delirium" titled "Soon", was released in January 1975. Relayer continued to sell, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales over 500,000 copies in the US. The album was remastered in 2003 and in 2014, both with previously unreleased tracks; the latter includes new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes and additional tracks.
