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

[fizzywiggs41]

My favorite is Stand Up. They were touring behind that album when I first saw them live. Next time I saw them was right after Benefit was released, thus, Benefit is my 2nd favorite Tull album. I also have TAAB except I missed out on the replacement disc. Sometimes I wonder what my copy is worth without the corrected disc.

The 2022 ,Thick As A Brick is still available and at rock bottom prices in comparison to some older releases.

Just ordered a sealed, mint copy for $25.92 all in. I can’t thank you enough, my friend.

A New Day #145 promises a 5CD/3DVD (audio) set called The Broadsword And The Beast – Monster Edition, in September.

Plus a 4LP vinyl box that rounds up “associated tracks” on Double Edged Sword, and the Maison Rouge Demos, along with a SW remix of the album.
A Bursting Out bookset to come – 3CDs containing original album, additional tracks, sound checks and remixed Madison Square Garden show. No date yet.
January brings more vinyl (see AND!).

Thank you. Any questions?

Yes: what's the exact release date?

Yes: what's the exact release date?

Never, it's going to become the lost Tull Monster (like bigfoot) album. Gives us something to talk about.

Don't panic.

Probably my most anticipated release of 2023 and it looks absolutely spectacular. Once again raises the bar and sets the standard for what a catalog reissue should be. (Of course it helps that this is one of my all time favorite JT titles!)

Plus a 4LP vinyl box that rounds up “associated tracks” on Double Edged Sword, and the Maison Rouge Demos, along with a SW remix of the album.
A Bursting Out bookset to come – 3CDs containing original album, additional tracks, sound checks and remixed Madison Square Garden show. No date yet.
