I'm in the US and posted a few days ago that BS had sent me a mailing notice. Hasn't arrived yet.Has anyone received a shipping notice yet from Burning Shed? I emailed them last Thursday and they promised they would be shipping them that day or Friday, which hasn't happened.
It would be nice to have this before xmas, but that is looking less and less likely.
. And what a great mix it is. And I at least get to play this album on Tidal prior to Xmas, come what may. Ho ho ho.)

CREST OF A KNAVE will probably be the last surround JT I get (have the rest of the earlier ones). Waiting for it. . . .With just a half dozen studio titles left in the catalog I'd very much like to see them continue the current reissue campaign and just finish them all. I'm sure everyone has their favorites, but for me I've always really liked Crest Of A Knave and Roots To Branches. Of the remaining four, I'd definitely be interested in a reworked version of Under Wraps, especially if they could redo it with real drums. As to the rest, they aren't my faves but I'd certainly purchase them if offered. Of course, a deluxe set of two of Ian's earlier solo work would also be welcome. Divinities: Twelve Dances with God is a beautiful recording and could sound fabulous in 5.1 or Atmos. Bring 'em all on - in any order
That's what Prog Rock records told me but they sent it without, to make sure I got it in time.
I imagine you would have been OK with Burning Shed, being in Oxfordshire, but that you've got it. It'll be interesting to see if I get mine before Xmas. Happy it's at least on Tidal.That's what Prog Rock records told me but they sent it without, to make sure I got it in time.
The Xmas card will be placed with my next order....at Easter
I'll have to play Lake's Xmas tune this year because the lyrics were by (RIP) Peter Sinfield. Sad.
Actually Tull recorded and released A Christmas Song first as a single in November 1968. It was later included with many other non-album songs on 1972 Living in the Past compilation album.I imagine you would have been OK with Burning Shed, being in Oxfordshire, but that you've got it.

It's such a great album. I've always loved it. A heartfelt Xmas album done the Tull way, not just a band/artist covering a bunch of Xmas songs, as most Xmas albums are. And Tull really were one of the first rock bands to put out their own Xmas song ('72), beating the likes of Slade ('73), Greg Lake ('75), Chris Rea (78, but not rel. for ages). Lake's b side, Humbug, is a bit of a larf as well.
