Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick (50th Anniversary Edition) CD/DVD

[quicksrt]

Can someone direct me to a poll or discussion on the newer release of this Jethro Tull album. Or at least answer a question. is the new reissue exactly the same as the older "corrected" issue on DVD? Should this new reissue be mentioned in the older spotlight poll, or be given a new entry if it is at all different?

To my knowledge it is exactly the same as the previous corrected version. Just a re -press

I helped with and pushed for (with others) the updated stereo (2015 non Mew mastering) on DVD. The only difference.

Same fixed 5.1

The latest reissue did not get much mention around here that I can find. Sets of the older release(s) were changing hands for $90 to $120.
So the 50th release was a very welcome thing for the Tull and surround fans I'd of expected.

Packaging exactly the same as well? I take it you would say so if you knew of any difference there (labels, notes, newspaper pages, etc.)

So, still the Mew mastering on CD?

Yeah, I'm responsible for a glitch free surround Tull. I wanted the non Mew stereo mix and voiced my concern when it seemed Warner was going with the Mew stereo. (They were.) Packaging now contains 2015 for the non Mew stereo and 2022 for this release with 2012 remaining for the fixed non Mew 5.1.

With 2015 noted it should be Mew free.

Yes, I'm glad for your involvement on the mastering's fixed glitches.
But if you don't know the answer to my question, then please state as much.

Don't beat me. Lower back cover: Book-set printing now contains 2015 for the non Mew stereo and 2022 for this release with 2012 remaining for the fixed non Mew 5.1.

Nobody is beating you just took a few tires getting a question answered.

I actually answered you immediately. You're better than this. Beat me = joke. End of.

I was blissfully unaware of this. Turns out I have the Mew mastered disc (2012).

What's the defect and is it worth upgrading whilst I have the chance?

I think it is worth it.

Forgive my repeating:
DVD/DTS Poll - Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick (Defective Original Disc) [DTS/DD DVD]
Nov 23, 2012
Have just approved the new replacement DVD and it sounds wonderful now! At least to me it does, if you still think the 5.1 sucks then only me left to blame, flat transfer / no glitches (-:
-Steven Wilson


Initially people complained about the distortion in the first 5.1. They went back to Steven Wilson's work before Peter Mew's mastering and the distortion was not there. So it was replaced. The stereo was replaced in 2022 to match the non Mew mastering of the 5.1. Basically the stereo is now less bright.

The earlier replacement DVD had the fixed 5.1 only. The 2022 has the stereo fixed too.

Cheers!

I might have to pick up this set while it’s out there new and price is ultra low for what you get.

TAAB is tied for their best album imo.

I appreciate the explanation. I had been a little confused on this. Went ahead and ordered the 2022 to replace my 2012. I just needed know how I could be sure I was getting the right one.

 

[quicksrt]

It is confusing that a 50th Anniversary edition would be just the same 40th Anniversary package with some corrected mastering. CD and LP labels do not say 50th, they don't even say 40th. So continued questions asked about the package details is not a bad thing with this item.

I was told my name would not be on Aqualung Adapted or TaaB because they were going with the text of previous versions. Only copyright dates are changed to my knowledge.

Just noting that during the project TaaB was always referred to as the revised version never 50th.

From mail:
One other thing is the revised Thick As A Brick which will have Steven’s original mixes in stereo (as per 2015 single CD) and on DVD the 96/24 stereo and DTS & DD 5.1 again without the Pete Mew mastering (and dropouts) -per Warner
