Makes sense now as to why we really haven't heard much about the upcoming reissue of "Journey…" so far. amazon.co.uk is now reporting that the release date has been pushed back by one month to May 6.
I saw this description today at a UK seller:
Following the recent reissues of some of the bigger of Rick Wakeman's A&M album catalogue, this UK #1 album, which sold over 14 million copies when it was originally issued in 1974, now gets the 2016 Remastering treatment!
Considered to be the jewel in the crown for many Prog fans, the classic 'Journey To The Centre Of The Earth' now gets a release in multiple formats - A Super Deluxe Edition 4-Disc Set featuring Extra Packaging, including a Tour Programme and Booklet with notes by Rick himself and Prog Magazine editor Jerry Ewing, alongside the Original Re-mastered Album plus Live Performance, Radio Session, Quad and Hi-Resolution Mixes.
These are also a Double CD/DVD-Audio Set containing the Quad & Hi Res Mixes, plus a Standard Budget CD edition, and a High Quality Heavyweight Vinyl LP in a Gatefold Sleeve.

Please note that although the track list is accurate, we currently don't have packaging details of this item - presumably it will be extensive... judging by the price!
