In a Word: Yes (1969–) is the second box set by the English progressive rock band Yes. It was released in July 2002 by Rhino Records and coincides with the return of keyboardist Rick Wakeman to the group three months prior, thus reforming the band's "classic" line-up. The five-disc set includes tracks from the band's entire career between the years 1969 to 2001, including material by Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe recorded in 1989, and previously unreleased tracks.

Background

The set includes a 100-page booklet contains a comprehensive history of the band by journalist Chris Welch and an essay by philosopher Bill Martin. It also includes a foreword from filmmaker Cameron Crowe and testimonials from King's X frontman/bassist Doug Pinnick, Primus frontman/bassist Les Claypool, Tool drummer Danny Carey, and Phish drummer Jon Fishman.

In October 2003, figures from Nielsen SoundScan showed that 14,000 copies of the box set had been sold in the United States.[2]
