Because it's an amazing track and the reverb-y 1975 Yesterdays version that most Yes fans know is simply inferior to the original 'dry' mix from 1972's The New Age of Atlantic, which at long last has been digitally released, on this set?

The superfluous single version on this set has been released on CD before, and no one was harmed by it then either.

Both All three multichannel mixes of it suck, and so does Steven Wilson's stereo mix of it, so it's good that none of them are on this set.

And Simon & Garfunkle's version is boring.

Any more questions?

The lack of extra material on the blu-ray in the very expensive Rhino Yes reissues, along with the needless inclusion of vinyl, has always irritated me. The Panegyric reissues not only included multiple mixes of the main albums on the BD, but it also contained a wealth of rarities and extras. The packaging of the Rhino reissues with so many discs has always seemed to be about maximizing profit over other considerations. However, it is what it is. Fortunately, out of the massive Yes catalog, I'm only interested in their classic run of 5 albums for this deluxe treatment. Only 2 more to go. 😌
 
And there doesn't seem to be an "America" Wilson mix on either Fragile nor CTTE.
'America' is on the Fragile atmos bluray. Last track.

Don't look now but something quite odd has happened on that Live from the Rainbow set.

The Dec 16 Rainbow version of Heart of the Sunrise (at least the few early 'bass lead' minutes I checked ) is identical to the Yessongs LP version...and to the version from the Greensboro NC gig of Nov 12, in the Progeny set, that it was thought to be sourced from.
 
Just FYI (for tagging purposes):


the BluRay disc sleeve text lists the contents in this order:

2025 Steven Wilson Atmos Mix
2025 Steven Wilson 5.1 Mix DTS-HD MA
2025 Steven Wilson Stereo Remix
2025 Steven Wilson Instrumental Mix
2025 Stere Remaster

While the screen menu lists them in this order:
Dolby Atmos
DTS 5.1 Surround
DTS Stereo Remaster
DTS Stereo Remix
DTS Stereo Instrumental


The Bluray playlist as read by Audiomuxer reflects the screen menu order:

View attachment 114754

in other words

Dolby Atmos
DTS 5.1 Surround
DTS Stereo Remaster (192/24)
DTS Stereo Remix (96/24)
DTS Stereo Instrumental (96/24)
How did you determine the stereo 192/24 was the remaster and 96/24 was the remix? Just based on the order they appeared in Audiomuxer? I can't seem to find any definitive answer anywhere online.

I have the digital download version and 96/24 is the remix and 192/24 is the remaster.

By listening.

And it tracks with the order both in Audiomuxer and the screen menu too.
