RhinoLongtime Yes guitarist Steve Howe will release a sequel to his 2015 two-disc solo compilation Anthology — a three-CD, 56-track set called Anthology 2: Groups and Collaborations that will hit stores this Friday, July 21.

As its title suggests, the new collection focuses on Howe’s work with various bands he’s played in during his 50-plus year career, as well as material he’s recorded with a variety of other musicians.

Anthology 2‘s first disc begins with a series of songs from Howe’s pre-Yes bands The Syndicats, The In Crowd, Tomorrow, Canto and Bodast. It also features a selection of tunes by Yes, the prog-rock supergroup Asia and GTR, the short-lived band Howe formed with ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. In addition to well-known songs such as Yes’ “Roundabout” and Asia’s “Heart of the Moment,” the disc includes the Yes rarity “Montreux’s Tune” and the previously unreleased Asia track “Masquerade.”

The compilation’s second disc features more material from Yes and Asia, as well as a tune by the Yes spinoff group Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and several recordings by the guitar great’s Steve Howe Trio project.

The final disc gives a sampling of Howe’s collaborations with such musicians as ex-Marillion frontman Fish, Ultravox multi-instrumentalist Billy Currie, Renaissance singer Annie Haslam and one-time Yes keyboard player Oliver Wakeman, Rick‘s son. The disc also features unreleased collaborative recordings with GTR singer Max Bacon, Tomorrow frontman Keith West and veteran prog guitarist Ray Fenwick, who succeeded Howe in the Syndicats.
