there is a very good 5.1 mix (both DTS and dolby) of this album still available on DVD-A, for those who have a universal player.

The surround mix on DVD-A is good, but the hirez stereo could be better. That's why I'm keeping my eye on this release even though it might not be SACD. There's also coming up new vinyl reissue of Fragile by Warner, mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray.

You were right, Zeus. Mobile Fidelity has just send this correction:

"Dear Mofi Customers,

In our previous issue of The Lab Report, we erroneously listed Yes Fragile as an upcoming ULTRADISC UHR™ HYBRID SACD.

This title, is in fact, going to be released as an ULTRADISC II™ 24 KT GOLD CD. We sincerely apologize for any confusion that was created on our part. Thank you!

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Inc."
