Jethro Tull 5.1 (“Bursting Out” box set with Steven Wilson 5.1 mixes out in June 2024!)

[wavelength]

Yes, I branded the walls of Warner with this...then they welcomed me on board.

That's somewhat cryptic. Is there more to this story?

Close to accurate. I've been helping with Tull deluxe editions since Benefit. I made sure Aqualung was fine this time, repeating the list of glitches often enough. Warner has been great to me. They have shown me that they care.

Of course I'm having fun with the wording.

After he pestered Warner about the glitches, they asked John (Norman) to help them with the Tull reissues.

EDIT: beat me to it!

Just to bring this latest addition of Aqualung into perspective(from my view)...let me say this...those who bought this latest edition are getting an awesome deal...the first time around I was late in buying the Aqualung set and I paid around $150 for it..and all I ever played was the blu ray...and I never had buyers remorse for what I paid for it...BUT...this latest edition I paid a total of $22.46(with shipping and tax included)...for me the fact that it's not a blu ray means nothing ...it's the mix and mastering that are important to me...I'm not obsessed with the numbers...24/96...yada...yada..yada...and since video is not in the equation(for me)...DVD is fine...

Here is a look at the first set and the current "condensed" set...the new book still contains all the pictures as the original expanded set...just more compact

Speaking of Tull glitches, I noticed the other day that my copy of Thick as a Brick has a few hickups early on in part 1 (5.1 DTS layer). I didn't notice them ever before. This is a replacement copy, not the original. I initially noticed it when playing back a 5.1 flac transfer from the NAS. Thinking I had made a bad transfer, I pulled out the disk (which is pristine) only to find the same glitches at the same times on it. I honestly cant say if they were there from the start or not. Are there known glitches on this disk? Kinda like tiny skips?

Thanks Clint. Nice carpet, is it Scotchguarded?

The worse possible thing happened for me, I coughed up the money for the expensive LP/BluRay set just weeks before the new edition was announced.:violin But I still ordered it instantly. My new edition copy has been shipped from Burning Shed.

It will be great to have all the book style releases together and I eagerly await Songs From The Wood. I consider the extra $$$ spent, the price of being part of this fanatical surround sound dream. Since surround releases are still far from mainstream, I believe that every extra dollar spent
is a message to the industry that we want more!

Steven Wilson's Aqualung in particular is priceless in whatever edition purchased considering the miracle that was performed on it. On occasion I hear a song from the original CD and I cringe. What a difference.


-Edit-

It arrived in the mail today. It fits in perfectly with the others.

That is great; really good to hear that about Warner.

Wait, Warner had dementia....walked out his back door and never seen since.

Oops - that was Warner McMurray....local guy. :violin

I couldan't agree more. My copy of this is in the mail. I never did buy the BR deluxe version.

I have been saying it all along, these Tull re-issues set the gold standard for value in a reissue series, bar none. Im looking forward to this one, Stand Up, and Songs from the Wood. I also wish thed give the book treatment to Benefit. It looking so out of place on my "Tull Shelf".

I would have to say the XTC reissues are right up there, and IMHO surpass the Tull re-issues given that they have Blu-rays packed with lossless content.

British schools were just as bad in the 70s, I hated the damn recorder, I'd forgotten how bad they could sound when not played in tune or in unison until you reminded me. My poor father must of hated us kids having to practice it for homework, he had perfect pitch!

It was mandatory to learn to play the recorder in French schools when I was there at the time. Probably because most everyone could afford the cheap plastic ones. I let you imagine a hundred kids with a basic knowledge of the instrument trying to play simultaneously and in tune. :yikes

Are you absolutely certain that you have a replacement copy? Cause only the defective DVDs should have the three glitches while playing back the 5.1 mix.
Check your copy, and if there's a line under the information where it says "DVD SIDE" then you have the corrected copy. If it doesn't have the line, then it's the original defective copy.

Now it's definitely the recorder thread!

I have 2, both cheap plastic sopranos. Same configuration as the ones pictured above. One white, one brown, living together in perfect harmony !!!
