Yes and agree to all the above.I'm in despite having the previous 2 CD DVD set. I have everything Jethro Tull has to offer on CD and box sets. I support them because they have always supported the fans and collectors with premium products at a reasonable price
I have one of this old Toshiba players too, Still works as well as the day I bought it, open box from Tweeter when they were going out of business. Unfortunately it and old (1st or 2nd gen) Sony Blu-ray players are the slowest pieces of equipment I have ever owned.I haven't seen a link yet. Amazon US seems to post links to these deluxe editions later than most, and the price typically doesn't drop until very close to the release date.
As to blu-rays, personally I haven't experienced disc rot for movies or music and I buy quite a few. Thankfully all my old DVD-Audio discs still play, and hell, I even have a few HD DVD's (Eagles Farewell I Tour, Nine Inch Nails Beside You In Time, etc.) that still look and sound pretty spiffy spinning in a very old Toshiba player. No, all things considered, I think physical disc media holds up pretty well.
now THIS is great news and sets a new precedent, especially for folks who did not get their copy back then and now stuff like SFTW is obscenely expensive!
This is what I've been waiting for. For those interested, even with Prime membership (free shipping) after you add in shipping and taxes, Importcds is still a few dollars cheaper than Amazon. But for me, I was able to apply some accumulated Prime points which brought the price down to ~$26. Since I already own the older Collector's edition, it made the purchase far more palatable. Pre-ordered!
MateBenefit 50th set ordered from Amazon.ca $60cdn but free 2 day shipping and I had a $25 credit so it’s not too bad. Didn’t bother with the ‘A’ book set because the later stuff isn’t much good so I’m stopping with benefit so I have all of them up to and including Stormwatch. That’s enough.

It is much better than I remembered. I was quite surprised. And a great mix as well.A is one of my favorites...
I try to imagine if Rush never did Signals, after Moving Pictures... <shudder>It is much better than I remembered. I was quite surprised. And a great mix as well.
I had no familiarity with "A" prior to this so was not expecting much, but I also found it to be a pleasant surprise. I find myself enjoying it more than some of the other Tull sets.Mate
I actually enjoyed the A box. You might be surprised. I would get it if I was you to complete your collection. The remix is a considerable improvement
I can’t really say that SFTW, HH and Stormwatch are my cup of tea and I’d been really looking forward to all of them because of the excitement from other forum members. I had heard hardly anything from those albums except for a very few songs I had from my 20 years of JT box set which were good songs and thought the albums would be pretty good. Unfortunately it’s not my type of Tull even though I’ve tried my best to get into them, it’s just not happening. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some brilliant songs on those 3 albums that I love but there’s an awful lot of nothing much too and way too much predictable flute soloing which really gets old to me. I’ll have a listen to’A’ on iTunes or YouTube and see if it’s more my taste before I go and buy it just to continue the set. Thanks for possibly changing my mind.Mate
