9012Live: The Solos is the third live album by Yes, albeit one with a difference. Released as a mini LP in 1985, the album was primarily meant to feature all five current members in a solo fashion (hence the title), while also including two performances from their blockbuster 90125 album.
Its shunning of live versions of well-known songs baffled critics and fans, and compared with previous releases, 9012Live: The Solos was not a success.
Currently out of print (save for a pricey Japanese import), the album is rumoured to be reissued by Rhino Records in the coming months[citation needed]. Bonus tracks could be classic live tracks from that tour. The companion video has been released on DVD by Image Entertainment with previously unseen material and a director's cut without the 1950s stock footage.
