<i>Union</i> (Yes album) 1991 studio album by Yes feat. ABWH

Union is the thirteenth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes, released on 30 April 1991 by Arista Records.

The eight musicians signed with Arista and a combination of unfinished tracks by both groups were selected for Union. The album was highly problematic from the start, including disagreement from some members about the "merger" of the two bands, strained relations during the recording sessions, 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 already put down, and to record additional parts on already finished tracks.
