SW's mix of the first ELP album tracks worked well enough...but whatever his vision was for 'Tarkus', it didn't work for me. Some ingredient of Eddy Offord's magic sauce was left out, and the album (especially the title track) lost flavor.

On a minor related note, reading this thread inspired me to re-watch the bonus DVD that came with the 2007 'Deluxe Edition' (no surround content unfortunately)
The DVD contains the mimed promo video Chris made in late 1975 for the first two tracks, and an interview and wonderful track-by-track commentary byChris filmed in early 2007.
I noticed that the promo video sounds one musical half-step lower/(and slower?) than the original tracks. Would this likely be a PAL-to-NTSC artifact?

I see on Hoffman's board that someone once claimed the Deluxe Edition mastering of the album was a little sped up compared to older CDs/LP...if that's true that could account for the video/album discrepancy on the edition. I'm gonna check. I have the 1990 Japanese first issue CD , and if necessary, the original LP, for comparison.
I've just seen this elsewhere today from Esoteric:
Just to keep folks posted. This will be a March release. There will be 2 versions--one in a limited edition box set with 5.1 surround , vinyl and extras etc and a cut down edition too.
Hopefully the cut down edition includes the 5.1.

I love this comment!
The Deluxe Box Set will include a real fish.
Out of water.
Express shipping recommended.
Now to continue with all the promises not to buy it if includes superfluous vinyl. I get it. I have bought a number of these box sets and don’t own a turntable. The more important thing to me is who will mix it and the 5.1 format. Neil Wilkes involvement would be awesome.

I wonder why Esoteric doesn’t post here?
I'd love to ask them what happened to the other Tony Banks' reissues that were supposed to be released.
Well let’s hope for the best...
We're picking up steam here (per Mark Powell's Facebook page):
Mark Powell also said the announcement on content, release date, etc. should come next month (January 2018)
Nick Beggs just posted this on Facebook:
"Just had a preview of Chris Squire’s Fish out of Water 5.1 mix due for release in 2018 on Cherry Red. Mixed by Jakko Jakszyk. Get ready for this baby. Sounds amazing."
It's wet my appetite even more.

So looking forward to this!
Jakko tweeted this picture of Nick listening to the 5.1 mix:
Hurray!
Now it the time to start pumping them for high-res and not DD or DTS only. I mean unless they stated already it's high-res.
Someone once called this "the Mona Lisa of prog" which I laughed my ass off when I heard that. Still...

Sorry, but being US based I had to look up the Beggs discography....Kajaagoogoo! I would never have guessed he was so shy.
Here's the news we have been waiting for!

A 36 PAGE BOOK WITH ESSAY BY SID SMITH FEATURING EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS WITH BILL BRUFORD, PATRICK MORAZ & GREGG JACKMAN
Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of an official limited edition deluxe boxed set of Yes founder CHRIS SQUIRE’s legendary 1975 solo album FISH OUT OF WATER. Recorded in the late Spring and Summer of 1975 whilst Yes was on hiatus as members recorded their respective solo albums, FISH OUT OF WATER was a breath-taking work, and equal in standard to any Yes album in terms of sheer invention and creativity. The album was essentially a collaboration between Chris Squire and his friend Andrew Pryce Jackman, a gifted arranger who had been a member of The Syn, Squire’s pre-Yes group. The sessions saw contributions from former Yes drummer BILL BRUFORD, Yes keyboard player PATRICK MORAZ and noted musicians MEL COLLINS and JIMMY HASTINGS. Released in November 1975, FISH OUT OF WATER was a Top 30 chart hit in the UK and made the US Billboard Top 75 album chart, going on to sell nearly 500,000 copies worldwide.
The highlight of this limited edition deluxe boxed set is a stunning new 5.1 Surround Sound mix (exclusive to this set on an NTSC / Region Free DVD), along with a new stereo mix, from the original multi-track master tapes by JAKKO JAKSZYK and a new re-master of the original 1975 mix by Paschal Byrne. FISH OUT OF WATER also includes four bonus tracks of the single edits of ‘Lucky Seven’ and ‘Silently Falling’, along with both sides of the 1981 single by CHRIS SQUIRE and ALAN WHITE; ‘Run With the Fox’ and Return of the Fox (appearing on CD for the first time).
The boxed set also includes a replica 180 gram gatefold LP with poster of FISH PUT OF WATER (mastered and cut from the original tapes at Abbey Road studios), along with two seven inch singles of ‘Lucky Seven’ b/w ‘Silently Falling’ and ‘Run With the Fox’ b/w ‘Return of the Fox’, both in picture sleeves. To complete the content is a visual DVD (NTSC / Region Free) featuring the 1975 FISH OUT OF WATER promotional film featuring the songs Hold Out Your Hand and ‘You By My Side’, along with a 2006 interview with Chris Squire conducted by Jon Kirkman and a 2006 audio commentary by Chris Squire. Finally, the set also contains a 36-page book with an essay by Sid Smith featuring exclusive interviews with BILL BRUFORD, PATRICK MORAZ, GREGG JACKMAN and JAKKO JAKSZYK.
Always justly proud of his first solo album, it was Chris Squire’s long held wish that a 5.1 Surround mix would be undertaken of the work someday. This Esoteric Recordings edition finally brings this to fruition and is a fitting tribute to the artistry of Chris and his collaborator, Andrew Pryce Jackman.

70 pounds... I like the record a lot, but after Bruford's box disaster I'm a bit hesitant to jump in without listening to it before (or waiting for QQ comments)
I can understand that hesitation, however, Esoteric have a much better track record.
All of their recent Barclay James Harvest reissues had DTS audio, and all but one of their Anthony Phillips reissues were DVD-A/V discs, so I feel a lot more confident that the audio on this release will be better than it was on the Bill Bruford box set.
