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

[Imbobman]

The Burning Shed listing seems to imply a new—or at least updated—set of Steven Wilson remixes for the 50th Benefit, as the earlier 2013 mixes are specified separately.

After reading the info provided @ The Burning Shed, I got the same impression as you did jedijoker.
That there was a different mix included with this... .

I'm inclined to agree with @LuvMyQuad in that the track listing is probably correct, while the ad copy is misleading.

I wondered what the cost for the artist/label are issuing a blu ray as opposed to DTS DVD?

This question comes up a lot. We need to remember that it's not just the cost they have to take into account, but the benefit. I get the impression that some labels still think that being on bluray will put people off. I know that sounds unlikely but even if it's not true, they might believe it. But I certainly still do see the occasional comment complaining that a new release is on blu ray rather than DVD (not on QQ).

Blu Rays die? Aqualung was faulty to begin with, was it not?

I personally love Blu rays. I find them easy and reliable.

My Aqualung BluRay was fine originally. Then it partially died about 3 years later. Finally went kaput but I am unsure of the timeline. Somewhat later timeline for my brother’s copy

Sad but true, I've seen it too.
I know there is or was the issue of startup and menus but there is so much more room for added goodies.

Import CDs appears to be the best bargain at $35.66.

Deep Discount comes in at $43.33.
Bull Moose $44.97.

Imports price…. With or without shipping?

Sorry you can correct me if I’m wrong but the faulty disc was a DVD from TAAB which the company sent out replacement discs for and actually did a second pressing eventually

That's before shipping. The other two places give free domestic shipping.

The Blu-Ray edition of Aqualung suffered from mastering issues as well - there are a number of dropouts in both the stereo & 5.1 audio streams, and the overall sound quality is somewhat harsh due to the EQ applied by Peter Mew (though not nearly as bad as the original Thick As A Brick DVD). Replacement Blu-Ray discs were never issued, but the 2016 book-sized edition offered unmastered versions of SW's remixes on DVD with no glitches.

The reports of total disc failure are a more-recent phenomenon, likely due to the Blu-Ray being pressed by Optimal Media (who are also responsible for the failing Pink Floyd Blu-Rays).

Thanks for posting these. I ordered from Importcds. I have 2013 edition, but I could not pass up the 5.1 mix of the Tanglewood show

Probably just an error but the first two list number of discs: 2

Actually we had both defective discs. 2 TAAB DVD’s and 2 Blu Ray Aqualungs. Record company made good on the DVD’s but I never saw anything about replacement Blu Rays for the Aqua’s.

Indeed, here's a pic from the back of the Benefit bookset:

I’m currently looking and searching the READERS POLE for anything JT has done….why is only Aqualung the only one coming up?

 

[Muppet69]

Are Sweet Dream, 17 and Witches Promise in only stereo on the DVD audio disc or are they in 5.1 too. It’s not really clear about it.

IIRC on the previous release, Sweet Dream and 17 had 5.1 mixes but Witches Promise was stereo only.

Aqualung was the only one issued in hi-res. If you want to see the polls for the other Tull titles, do a search under the "Audio DVDs" tab.

I’ve just bought a NOS Aqualung that comes next week....be interested to see if the Blu-Ray doesn’t play as it’s been in shrink wrap for 10 years !

The easiest way is to click the artist column header. That will sort the list by artist, page through to the Js. They are all there.

Also be sure you are looking at DVDVs, not the high res releases. Only Aqualung came out in high res.
