Yesstory is a double CD and triple LP career-spanning distillation of music by progressive rock band Yes that had originally appeared on the 1991 box set Yesyears. Yesstory was issued in September 1991 lacking the rarity material that had characterized its parent release, although it does contain "Make It Easy", previously only released on Yesyears.

The album's cover art was painted by Roger Dean.
