Yes' Fourth Studio Album Fragile on Blu-ray Audio Disc. Includes 2024 Steven Wilson Atmos, 5.1, Stereo Remix & Instrumental Mixes. Also Includes the 2024 Bernie Grundman Stereo Remaster. Features the Bonus Track "America"

Fragile is the Blu-Ray disc broken out from the 2024 Super Deluxe Edition of the album of the same name, featuring the 2024 Steven Wilson Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD MA, Stereo Remix and Instrumental Mixes along with Bernie Grundman's remaster of the original album mix.

Yes's fourth album, Fragile, first reached the American Top 10 in February 1972. Reaching platinum in the U.K. and double platinum in the U.S., the record launched the band to new heights with hits like "Roundabout" and its beloved B-side, "Long Distance Runaround."

Fragile marked keyboardist Rick Wakeman's debut with Yes, which included Jon Anderson (lead vocals), Chris Squire (bass, vocals), Bill Bruford (drums), and Steve Howe (guitar). After he joined in the summer of 1971, the band recorded nine songs for the album, four group arrangements ("Roundabout"), and five individual compositions, including Anderson's "We Have Heaven" and Howe's instrumental "Mood for a Day."

Fragile holds a special place in Yes's history as the first album to feature artwork by English artist Roger Dean, whose style is now synonymous with the band. Music journalist Syd Schwartz describes the deep connection between the two. "Few marriages of sound and vision are as perfectly suited as Yes and Roger Dean — it was like they grabbed the same shooting star simultaneously."
