Union is the thirteenth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes,released on 30 April 1991 by Arista Records. Production began following the amalgamation of two bands that featured previous and then current members of Yes:Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (ABWH),consisting of vocalist Jon Anderson,drummer Bill Bruford,keyboardist Rick Wakeman and guitarist Steve Howe,and Yes,comprised at that time of bassist and vocalist Chris Squire,guitarist and vocalist Trevor Rabin,keyboardist Tony Kaye and drummer Alan White. The eight musicians signed with Arista and a combination of unfinished tracks by both groups were selected for Union. The album’s sessions were highly problematic from the start,including disagreements between some of the musicians regarding the "merger" of the two bands,strained relations during the recording process,and decisions by the production team of Jon Anderson and Jonathan Elias to bring in session musicians to re-record parts that Wakeman and Howe had originally completed.
