From a Page

The release is based around four songs developed by the band in 2009/10, but not then used on 2011's Fly from Here. The line-up is bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, singer Benoît David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman. Wakeman assembled the material following Squire's death.{{Cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/yes-revisit-2010-recordings-for-new-album-from-a-page|title=Yes revisit 2010 recordings for new album From A Page|first=Scott Munro2019-10-25T14:29:24Z|last=Prog|website=Prog Magazine|date=25 October 2019 }}From a Page (Yes Records) liner notes

The cover art was made by long-time Yes collaborator Roger Dean.

The vinyl and first CD contain four songs, three 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 song was developed at the same time as the other songs, but not completed. "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 "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.

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.{{Cite web|url=https://somethingelsereviews.com/2020/09/15/yes-the-game-heaven-and-earth/|title=Yes, "The Game" from 'Heaven and Earth' (2014): YESterdays|first=Preston|last=Frazier|date=15 September 2020|accessdate=14 April 2023}} More of that piece of music was adapted for use on "The Game", the second track on the band's 2014 album Heaven & Earth.

A lyric video for the single mix of "To the Moment" was released on YouTube.{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKUK_frQEsQ|title=YES - To The Moment (single mix) from the FROM A PAGE Box Set|date=27 October 2019 |via=www.youtube.com}} The 4:22 single mix version of the track "To the Moment" was only available on the vinyl edition until the 2021 digital version was released.
