Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick Stereo/5.1 remix will be reissued in October 2022

[Nyad]

Mine came from Mount Hope, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta. Also, my order was most likely prioritized based on my order date of July 22 and waited six months to get this.

I ordered on the 12th July & got a shipping notice 3 days ago from Rhino, well after many others here, so I'm thinking geographical location is a factor too

I tried to get it 50th Anniversary edition today on Amazon US and only available on vinyl. Only 40th Anniversary available on CD/DVD. Any other place to get it?

You can get one on ebay. Got one yesterday for 33 plus shipping. Seller has multiple copies

Well this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…


With my original order I can wait until March to get it or re-order and get it tomorrow?

 

[4-earredwonder]

Mine arrived this morning from Deep Discount for the amazing price of $16.14 [w/DD's 15% off coupon code] + free s/h ........ This will act as a replacement for the original 2012 version with the defective DVD [which I didn't replace] and sans Steve Wilson's NEW stereo remaster.

Discs were pressed in Germany

Or just do a chat session with customer service, but yeah maybe just cancel and order new.

 

[jefe1]

Or do what 4ears did above. Wait for another 15% off sale from DD and order. I might do that too.

I had the same delivery date for March, but it has been shipped yesterday. Don't always trust those delivery dates...

Hmm... DeepDiscount cancelled my order today out of the blue, which really bummed me out since I ordered it for the same price you did. The refund notice just said "Your order ran into a technical issue and could not be processed." It makes me want to take back all the positive things I've said about them and importCDs on here recently. But hey, **** happens. Ordering from Amazon right now, it's almost $6 more all told, but still a bargain for this set.

 

[TiberiusSpock]

Just got mine today. Hooray!!!

Oh, the DVD has crummy graphics. Oh, the DVD doesn’t play sound either.

Un-freakin-believable.

 

[sjcorne]

No problems playing mine, but I'm kinda bummed to find there's still a 'click' sound in the rear speakers at around 2:55

 

[TiberiusSpock]

What are you playing the DVD on? I’m using a 4K player that has never had an issue before.

 

[TiberiusSpock]

OK…THE DVD IS FINE!!!

In frustration I cleaned the hell out of the DVD and it works perfectly.



By the way, the surround sound is astounding. Well worth the purchase.

I pre-ordered this from Amazon back when the reissue was first announced. Received notices about delayed delivery multiple times. Finally, got an email a couple of days ago that it had been sent. The day it went out for delivery I was ecstatic! Until I checked tracking and saw that it just passed through the P.O. in Anaheim, CA. It was going to the address I moved away from in early October (to Eugene, OR). Through all the address changes I had done, it never crossed my mind that a very old pre-order would still be attached to the old residence. Luckily, my daughter stayed there and my wife is visiting SoCal this weekend. This will be an extra special delivery.

I also received 2 copies! But I did it on purpose, as I started to panick that Rhino would fail me. Rhino did not fail me, received an absolute perfect copy today. My Amazon copy has some, ever so slight...non perfect edges. You know what I mean.....

Now, what to do with my Amazon copy...sure, I could return it. But I don't think I will. Hmmmm

 

[Bill B]

Mine just arrived but I think it may have been damaged while in route. I haven't opened it yet but it's definitely not as thick as a brick. Not even half a brick. I think it may have gotten squished.

Edit: Guys, it was a joke.

I do not have the original book release from 2012, had the file in 5.1, therefore I wanted this 2022 book version for my collection, now up to date.
Listening to the hard disc via the player as I write. Sounds excellent in the 5.1 DTS 96/24. I finished listening to all and quite pleased with surround and sound quality.
A few questions:
1. The original LP, did it have all the pages that are like newspaper? Then in the 2012 reissue they added the Colour Supplement?
2. Was this 2022 version sold for the specific reason of including the 2012 corrected DVD?
3. No where, book or discs do I see a track list? I read it is one track, but are there A,B,C, etc to the songs, or just plain one track?

1. Yes, the original LP came with a 12 page newspaper. Looks like my copy (a hand-me-down from my father) is missing the paper, otherwise I’d post images, but if you go to the Discogs page, and click the album cover, you’ll get a photo gallery of what it looked like. The stories were also printed on the front cover, inside the gatefold, and on the rear cover, with the inside of the gatefold containing the full ”poem”. The 2012 version was the 40th anniversary edition, and a retrospective essay, and interviews were added, as well as full color photos.
2. That, and as a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary. One would have hoped they updated the packaging to reflect this, but it’s just a reissue of the 2012 40th anniversary set.
3. Technically speaking it’s just one song. Side A, and Side B both are “Thick As A Brick” on the vinyl label. You can treat it as two songs however If you count Side A and B. Interestingly, the version of the Steven Wilson stereo mix up on streaming is split into 8 tracks, neatly dividing each movement, likely done to garner more streaming royalties (A common practice. A fun side fact, the most extreme example I know of is the 8+ hour long album “Sleep” by Max Richter has a version that’s 31 tracks… and the version in Atmos and their strange companion app uses is 204 songs, with one track roughly every 4-7 minutes.).
