Yes, Friends and Relatives is a compilation album featuring songs of progressive rock band Yes and a selection of performances licensed from associated acts.{{cite web|url=http://www.ziplink.net/~mputzel/FriendsAndRelatives.html |title=Friends and Relatives |access-date=14 December 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070622115408/http://www.ziplink.net/~mputzel/FriendsAndRelatives.html |archive-date=June 22, 2007 }}{{cite web | url = https://www.amazon.com/Friends-Relatives-Yes/dp/B000009ONK/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1351185865&sr=1-1&keywords=yes+friends+and+relatives | title = Friends & Relatives: Editorial Reviews |publisher = Amazon.com | quote = Friends and Relatives serves up a collection of mostly previously released solo material from Yes's various members. Jon Anderson's 1998 retread of "Owner of a Lonely Heart" is rather pointless, although it's hard to deny Rick Wakeman's epic "Journey." At 22 minutes, it proves that Yes are still capable of turning in portentous, convoluted, synthesizer-driven rock in a beat-driven age. Unfortunately, most of the better tracks here have already been issued on Keys to Ascension, making Friends and Relatives a superfluous compilation. --Everett True}} The double CD was released in 1998. The album opens with a 1998 Jon Anderson remake of "Owner of a Lonely Heart". Yes only actually feature on two tracks, the closing track on each disc: live versions of "Close to the Edge" on disc 1 and "America" on disc 2.
