New York, NY (November 4, 2004)- Eagle Rock Entertainment will reissue a collection of pop and rock favorites from Beyond Records on November 16, 2004. Titles include: Yes' Magnification , The Ladder and House of Yes on CD and House of Yes on DVD; VH1 Storytellers featuring Meatloaf on both DVD and CD; and Blondie's Live on both DVD and CD and VH1 Behind the Music:Blondie on DVD.  All will be sold separately.  

Yes has been one of the longest lasting and successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s.  Still drawing large audiences to their concerts, Yes continues to attract younger listeners who are drawn to their virtuosity, complex musical textures and powerful vocals. The following reissues will be available from Eagle:

Yes' Magnification was originally released as a single CD in 2001. This double CD not only features Larry Groupe's orchestral creations, which mark a notable change in the bands' approach to music, but also features bonus live versions of "Close To The Edge," "Long Distance Runaround," and "Gates of Delirium / Soon". The band lineup includes: Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, and Alan White.

The Ladder was one of the last albums produced by Bruce Fairbairn prior to his death. Highlights include "Face to Face," "If You Only Knew," and "The Messenger."

House of Yes: Live From The House of Blues is a collection of Yes classics from their tour stop in Las Vegas in 1999.  Additional band members include:  Billy Sherwood on guitars and vocals and Igor Khoroshev on keyboards and vocals.  This concert will be available on both double CD and DVD which will include bonus features such as the making of The Ladder album, production stills, photos and bios from the Yes "Virtual Tourbook," a video press kit about the making of The Ladder , and a special HTML version of the Yesworld website.
 
Marvin Lee Aday, also known as Meatloaf , was one of the biggest chart acts of the 1970's who enjoyed a commercial renaissance two decades later.  His 1977 album Bat Out of Hell first made him a star. Then, again, in 1993 Bat Out of Hell II brought him renewed fame selling five million albums. The following reissues will be available from Eagle:

VH1 Storytellers DVD gives the viewer an opportunity to experience Meatloaf as never before.  In a stripped-down, intimate setting, Meatloaf shares the stories and inspirations behind his classic songs, including "Paradise By the Dashboard Light," "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," and "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth."  This special performance features an extra 53 minutes of footage that was not shown when the show aired, as well as liner notes, biographies of the band and web links.   VH1 Storytellers featuring Meatloaf is also available on CD.
 
Headed by Deborah Harry, Blondie is one of the most commercially successful bands to emerge from the punk/new wave movement of the 1970's.  Their hits such as "Call Me," "One Way Or Another," "Rapture," "Heart of Glass" and "The Tide Is High" were chart-toppers on both sides of the Atlantic.

Available on CD and DVD, Blondie Live was recorded at New York's Town Hall on February 10, 1999 and is the band's first hometown show in 17 years.   The CD and DVD contain additional tracks that were not aired on the original program featured on VH1. Each features the classic Blondie hits such as "The Tide Is High," "Call Me," "Heart of Glass," "One Way Or Another" and many more. Blondie Live on DVD also includes special bonus material including: lyrics and photos, forty-five minutes of footage not seen on the VH1 special, web links and the music video, "Nothing Is Real But The Girl."

VH1's Behind The Music: Blondie goes back to the beginning and traces the band from The Bowery to Billboard.  This episode of the well know rock series follows the path to success and destruction, leading up to the 1999 reunion album No Exit .
