Reported over at SHF: The Yes Album, Super Deluxe Edition, due November 24, 2023

I play-tested the Atmos mix earlier this year, glad to see it's getting a physical release

Ugh, well the good news is the 5.1's are getting re-released into ATMOS. The bad news, same thing.
I plan on another 30 years, so at this rate, the next hot thing will be the hologram version where the band is in your living space.

 

[Blackwood]

Can I just calmly express in words how excited I am while mentally during summersaults and high jumps that my body can no longer cash.

I guess this means that Warner/Rhino are planning to release similar super deluxe editions for the other classic Yes albums, at least up to and including "Relayer".
As SW has already remixed all 5 of those albums, I'm sure it will be relatively easy as it was for this one to further expand these albums into Atmos
I'm in!

Hopefully the mix will be up on Apple Music too.

It will be great to have Atmos mixes of the classic 70's by Yes (beginning with The Yes Album this November).

Well, not for me as I think it's a good example of why Kaye's rather unimaginative organ chords helped get him fired, and how Wakeman subsequently took it to another level. The best version of this outro for me is with Wakeman and Howe exchanging solos like a gunfight:

 

[NYMo]

Geez….I’ve only had the 5.1 for less than a year !

But seriously, these bloated, high-priced multiformat sets that mix optical and vinyl discs have to stop. I stopped caring about vinyl 37 years ago, and I'm sure there are vinyl fans who don't care about optical. But we all have to pony up for stuff we don't want just to get stuff that we do want -- and the record labels are cashing in. I know the answer is: "So don't buy it." I won't be. Just my take.

 

[stormchaser]

At the risk of continuing to turn this into a "meh" thread, I'll probably sit this one out, particularly if this ATMOS mix ends up streaming somewhere. The 5.1 is enough for me.

 

[DuncanS]

so it looks like I have the Definite, Maybe Edition already

 

[Scott65]

I'm very happy with the 5.1 mix. If the Atmos mix comes out on a standalone blu-ray I'll get it.

 

[GaryG]

Great another bloated box I can’t afford. Oh well I guess I will just have to live with the Panegyric 5.1 blu-rays.

 

[srbjab]

If the Atmos mix is locked in a box with vinyl I won't be buying it, either. It would be a shame if many classic bands whose catalogs have already been released in 5.1 (that many of us have already bought) reissue Atmos mixes only locked in bloated box sets with vinyl and other useless swag that few actually want. Sadly, I don't see the price gouging ending anytime soon.

 

[Robert van Diggele]

The 5.1 mix is excellent. Depending on the price I might get this new set.

I agree, but my favorite live rendition from Rick is the one from my hometown, Havana. Someone in the audience accused him of being too wound up on coke: 'Estás Pasao'

 

[Bill B]

Really depends on the price point. I love those core Yes albums but I am very happy with the 5.1s that I already have.
I can't imagine a $250 box set with an Atmos mix is going to make me $250-worth happier.
