Yes, I'm still waiting for both editions of "Fragile" and "Octopus", plus "Premonitions" from Amazon UK.
Like I have said before, the arrival time here in the US for mail from the UK is wildly unpredictable.
For example, Burning Shed shipped my copy of "Oranges & Lemons" on a Thursday, and it arrived here the following Monday, easily the quickest shipment I have ever received from them.
I'm hoping at least "Octopus" and "Fragile" arrive tomorrow, cause Friday is "Beatles 1+" day for me!
Given that "The Yes Album", "Fragile", "Close to the Edge", and "Relayer" have all been released now, "Tales from Topographic Oceans" should be the next (and probably final) remixed and expanded Yes reissue to be released. You'll probably have another good birthday next year I think!

Man, am I still anxiously waiting for this. Fingers crossed for tomorrow but I won't hold my breath. The joys of living in Western Australia lol.
My Fragile CD/Blu Ray was shipped from Headphone Dust on the 27th, haven't received that yet. The CD/DVD-A was shipped from Burningshed on the 30th. I received the DVD/A yesterday. ... During the first listening at times I felt like I was listening to new arrangements. by the end of the 3rd round I am very happy. I hear many things I've NEVER heard before . Its A Monster! That's all I will say for now till others get to listen and process this beast for themselves. ... I also have the older dvda by the way.

I have the CD/DVD-A on order from Burning Shed. Can't wait to hear Steven Wilson's remixes.
I received my DVD-A copy a couple of days ago (from Headphone Dust).
The other comments are 110% correct...this 5.1 mix is spectacular and blows away the 2002 DVD-A release and then some. I fully remember picking up the latter when it was first released and being very disappointed, especially when compared to other far superior releases at the time such as Hotel California, Rumours, Homecoming, Foreigner 4, etc. I kept thinking as I listened to the 2002 release that the person who had mixed it just didn't seem to understand that there even were any back channels, or that the vocals needed to be more centered (since there was this thing called a "center channel" now).
But this new release is how it should have been done in the first place! Thank you again to Mr. Wilson! :banana:

Listened to this once last night so take this with a grain of salt as my opinion will no doubt change with repeated listenings, but with a cold setting in (Just in time for my Beatles 1 in 5.1 to come - bummer) I wanted to say that the sound last night (when my ears were clear) was terrific. I can't say whether it beats the 2002 release but the cool thing is that is on this disc too so you can make your own comparisons. Enjoy, another fantastic surround release.
Thank God this video is remastered.... :banana:

Got this today.
First run through of the 2-channel.
Spectacular, just spectacular.
Yes at the height of their powers, imo.
Redundant I know, but Steven Wilson continues his home run string.
Thanks Steven.

I also highly recommend listening to the instrumental tracks.
Like the other SW releases, these to me reveal the heart of the recordings and the musician's talent.
Fragile is outstanding.
Regardless of whether you appreciate Yes music, these guys were\are phenomenal musicians.

A note about the clarity of the new mix. I had never noticed before how out of time the bass and piano are from each other during "Heart of the Sunrise" from 8:06 to 8:13 (the riff just before "Straight light moving..."). In the SW mix, it's clear and easy to hear. On the original mix, everything is kind of blurred at that point, but when I listen for the bad timing, it's there. It's just not as noticable.

Hi Ed,

Steven sells direct and he gets a bigger cut(from what I have heard.) So I always buy his mixes from his store. My way to say thank you to him and directly show him my interest in his 5.1 remixing projects... Just food for thought.
Cheers!

Good afternoon Mr M. Did you get your Fragile yet? A definite 10, I've never heard it sound better. :friday:

Colsky me mate!
Bloody Richard the Third! No. I am still waiting for it to arrive in me mailbox.
Although I cherish each & every YES 5.1 remix we get, I rarely play fragile(Yessongs versions BLOW it away completely, for my listening dollar...)
But I am very glad to hear it has been getting so many fab reviews!
I agree about Fragile, and the same for The Yes Album. I would say though that both of these albums have been made fresh again in my eyes (and my ears!) by these superb new 5.1 versions. You'll love the sound of the drums and bass on this new fragile.
ps Excellent picture!
