Fifty years old this year (2021) but still sounds as though it could fit in with current tastes in music.
The Steven Wilson 2013 remix has brought it up to date as regards sound quality and clarity.

Yes Fragile shootout. I just compared (Roundabout only) three different versions:
- the Steven Wilson remastered (from the box set)
- the 2016 Rhino Kevin Gray remaster
- the 2006 Analogue Productions audiophile reissue
All sound great. The Wilson slightly lighter but with a wider stereo image. I prefer the Analogue as it has more weight and „wooden warmth“.
The MFSL 190€ edition is missing as well as some 70s original mix.

My copy has the inner gatefold printed upside down, including the booklet. Does anyone else have that?
If only there was a picture disc for this, I'd love to have one just for display
I have another permutation:
7.
- crediting Arnakata/Kinney Music as publisher for track A2
- A2 song title breaks after "Symphony"
- B5 song title and writers' credits on one line
- B-side publishers in one line
- *Rondor* Music
Matrix codes:
A//1 1 2 13
B//1 1 1 12
Don't know how to add this to database so leaving as a comment.

I seem to be having a spot of trouble finding my copy on here. If anyone can help I would be most grateful. SIDE A is (etched) S2 K-50009 A3
SIDE B (etched) 21 K-50009 B3
‘Fragile’ is printed in the centre of the upper green half of the label and ‘Made in UK’ on the left hand side in the orange half underneath STEREO. The only one I can find close to this says ‘Manufactured in UK.’
Thank you in advance.

I am wondering why this is going for ten times more than Yes - Fragile???!!! Only for the small publishing difference on labels... Ridiculous!
