There is no SHM SA-CD of Fragile (though I wouldn't mind the existence of such an edition !).

I think Progboy was talking about this one : Yes: Fragile

High Vibration SACD is 2 channel only and the earlier Warner/Japan SACD is in 5.1 surround.

It depends what you prefer: Multichannel & stereo hybrid version stems from DVD-A released 10 ya.
HV-box contains stereo only hybrid SACD which sounds very beautiful in comparison to former one, eg. unveiled. Sound is also a lot louder but not brickwalled. I have got both of these since sometimes I prefer to listen to M-ch version and sometimes I enjoy stereo-only which is HV rendition in every case.
Living with HV-box for some time now, it is not a bad investment IMHO, esp. after the prices have slightly dropped recently. And if you are looking for this particular disc only you might search through ebay there are parts of this box sold separately.

Hope this helps.
