Yes - Fragile (2024 super deluxe edition)

Released yesterday, 28 June 2024, I just listened to the new stereo mix, and it sounds like S. Wilson did a different move this time around, less focused on the individual instruments, and more on preserving the overall atmosphere. I am really pleased with the quality he achieved with the vocals. Let's see what you think.

^ I quote one of the comments: "I’m not forking over the incredible amount they’re asking!"

I heard the SW remix its not bad, but the Kevin Gray/Steve Hoffman 2021 version is much better. My OG 1972 US Atlantic is still the best version I have, cut by George Piros and mine is -AAA/-AAA

"The Dean" isn't Yes

With Steven Wilson involved, I am surprised this version is not 20x CDs.
