Notes: This EP was only available at later shows on the North American leg of the Yessymphonic tour. The first two tracks were previews from Magnification, while the last track is only otherwise to be found as a bonus track on the Japanese release of Magnification. The back cover declares that the album will be out on 11 Sep, but it was subsequently delayed until Dec. The EP has HDCD encoding.

"Long Distance Runaround" is a 1997 live version, seemingly from the 9 Dec San Diego show, which has had an orchestra added and been otherwise processed. Igor Khoroshev, keyboardist on the 1997 tour, has been mixed out. (HP, 15 Sep 01)
