@ Tony: it was originally released on the vinyl album. Then Mike decided he didn't like it (he thought it was too repetitious), he remixed it for Boxed and that's the mix that was used for all of the other subsequent CD releases. The original mix, which some of us here like more than the "new mix" and some don't  , essentially differs from the "new mix" in parts that have been mixed out completely (like a trumpet + snare drum section around 4:15 in Part 1) or lowered in volume (some of the melody guitars in the "Thunderstorm" section in Part 2) or, on the contrary, greatly enhanced (the female vocals singing fake lyrics in Part 2, which were very low in the original mix). I don't remember all of the other differences right now, maybe there's a comparison table somewhere...
On a side note, Mike has often stated that he's not particularily fond of HR. So I think that if the new release of HR is made with his involvement, we cannot expect anything really "special" from it - apart, of course, from the elusive original mix... which Mike doesn't like.
