Agreed, but please don't argue with progmonster too much or he will start listing all the best and worst Tull songs in each year and how all the bonus tracks are better than most of the tracks that...

Overexposure isn't just related to classic rock radio playlists (does anyone here listen to FM anymore?). For me its more due to so many tracks from this album being played at concerts over the...

Roots to Braches is very good, but I agree suffers a little by running too long. This would have made for a great LP with a 45 minute run time and dropping a couple tracks. Similar problem with...

Too Old is too often overlooked, I suspect mainly due to the title and cover artwork. Doesn't help that it was sandwiched between two of their best albums. It is at the bottom of Tull albums from the...

Wish they had included those two on III (which is the only one I bought from the new remasters as its honestly probably the only selection from their catalog that I listen to anymore). I'm with...

I haven't been impressed with the bonus content at all, but to be fair this is only the third time their catalog has been released/mastered on cd (originals from the 80's, remastered in the early...

The exchange rate is very favorable right now...the US dollar is at its highest level vs the yen in 13 years. I was surprised to see the standard discs were only $21.52. I think the last time I...

Yeah, having them transferred from the remasters instead of flat transferred from the original masters would not keep in spirit with the intention of the series, but there is a whole thread on the...

So the bonus tracks are indeed 'flat transfers' too? There was some speculation elsewhere that perhaps the bonus tracks would feature the same remastering as the 2005s (even if the main album tracks...

Let's hope both! What is the track listing for this show?

I love Tull, but it's not worth it unless you get it cheap or are a completist. The remixes are dreadful, the redone tracks are nowhere near as good as the originals and while the live compilation...

I'm all for another IA solo album as I've enjoyed them all, however, I'm not thrilled with the idea of openly eschewing his acoustic guitar. This sounds like more like a Tull album along the lines...

Thanks guys, my wallet is a lot lighter from this thread ;). I just ordered Metronomical Society, Arzachel collectors edition, plus Copious Notes (and for good measure Hattitude--I already have...

Also nice to see Ian giving updates on Martin and Doane....

Personally, I don't really care for these modern remixes; I don't do 5.1, so I can't comment on that aspect. I've purchased two SW remixes: the ITCOTKC box and Aqualung. The remixes were...

Steve Carell is a well known Jethro Tull fan.

Tony Snow (former White House Press Secretary and of Fox News) was a big Tull fan too. In fact, he was the special guest (and played flute on a...

Kinda odd timing considering the Audio Fidelity SACD just came out earlier this year. Granted, that was 2 channel, but that release and the original mastering by Barry Diament are all I need, since...

Thanks for the reviews. I was always satisfied with the Big Beat two-fer, but it sounds like I need to pick up these versions.

The best part of Celebration of the Lizard was released as Not to Touch the Earth... I can barely sit through the studio version of Celebration (and frankly the live rendition isn't much better).

Interesting.... Are there any complete shows here or are they all abbreviated?

Steve Hillage - Fish Rising
Moby Grape - S/T
Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly (maybe cheating here given his previous work)

I can't think of many prog groups except those with a limited catalog to begin with (Comus comes to mind), but expanding it to rock in general with significant catalogs I would say The Doors,...

It's not going to be 5.1... Audio Fidelity and Hoffman don't do surround remixes.

Yeah looks like you may be right.

Original question remains.... Anyone?

Does anyone know how the Greenslade issues on Wounded Bird sound? I know WB usually just reissues existing masterings... What are the sources for these? Looking for comments on Bedside Manners Are...

Aside from your first sentence (the title track is the only song I *don't* like on the album), I agree with your assessment. The title and artwork are over-the-top and somewhat embarrassing and I...

I like this album a lot and it's easily their most underrated and underappreciated album. It suffers from the misfortune of being struck between two of their best albums. Plus the cover art and...

+1

Yeah, it's good though I still prefer SLOB (what a horrible acronym, BTW) over TAAB2, though it's about on par with Rupi's Dance. I really consider it more of a Tull album though.

I love The Secret Language of Birds. It's basically the type of solo album you wanted/hoped/expected Ian to release when he gave you Walk Into Light instead. It has all the acoustic numbers that...

How does this compare to Heathen, which was a pleasant album that I gave a few spins when it was released, but ultimately just sits on my shelf?

He said it was a crappy cover, not creepy. Big difference :) I tend to agree, though that in and of itself wouldn't dissuade me from buying it. But I will say that the poor art and the flimsy...

Album: Too Old...
Song: Taxi Grab

I like what Fripp and Hall did together, but please the above post is absurd. Hall & Oates made some great music and if I had to choose between Hall's work with Oates vs Fripp, I'd take the former...

Two wrongs don't equal a right.

I think there is some stage banter missing on the complete CD, but it's included on the accompanying DVD. All the songs are complete though. I've never really compared the stage banter between...

Regarding the 25th box set, if you don't already have it then I would not spend big bucks for it. The best disc was the Carnegie Hall concert and that's now available (complete) on the Stand Up...

So what's the over/under on the page count for this thread now that the show is cancelled? I'd say 25 - place yer bets now.

Right, it was probably a poor choice of words on my part, as I'm aware it went #1 here. I'd be curious to see actual sales numbers though and where it stacks in their back catalog especially against...

It may not be a "big seller" by Tull standards, but surely it probably sold more than anything by, say, King Crimson and SW remixed their whole catalog. If it was announced that Too Old was being...

There's no reason for it to be. Nightcap was the name of the 2CD set and "The Chateau D'Isaster Tapes" was just one disc on the set. Regardless of what they call it, a complete Chateau D'Isaster...

Are you looking to buy or just making a general observation? If you are looking to buy there are like new copies on amazon starting at $9.99 for focus 3 and just a couple more bucks for the others. ...

I'd agree with another post that Tull probably has the richest outtakes collection and while "Lick Your Fingers Clean" may not be the best (though it's right up there), it is the one I thought of...

How does this set compare to the original box in terms of sound quality?

While I've tired of Lady Fantasy long ago, Nimrodel remains a favorite Camel track of mine.

This. :)

I have the 2004 digipak DSD remasters for the following Brian Eno albums. Clear slipcases included for each except Another Green World:
