Yes’ 1972 album "Fragile" is being reissued as a 6 disc super deluxe edition. The 4 CD + BluRay + LP set features a newly remastered version of the original album, new 2024 stereo mixes, instrumental mixes, rarities, live recordings and more.

"Fragile" marked keyboardist Rick Wakeman’s debut with Yes, which included Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford and Steve Howe. After he joined in the summer of 1971, the band recorded 9 songs for the album, 4 group arrangements, and 5 individual compositions, including Anderson’s "We Have Heaven" and Howe’s instrumental "Mood For A Day".

The BluRay offers 5 versions of the album, with everything bar the remaster newly mixed by Steven Wilson. The lacquers for the included vinyl record have been cut by audio engineer Bernie Grundman.

This new reissue of "Fragile" will be packaged the same as "The Yes Album" and comes with a booklet. It will be released on June 28th, 2024, via Rhino Records.
