My Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the Beast 40th Anniversary Monster Edition arrived this morning it's a hefty tome containing 5 Cds and 3 DVDs and a novel describing all the ins and outs of recording it and lyrics and other stuff. I immediately chose the 5.1 DTS option in the menu (96/24) the mix is awesome I'd describe it as quad with centre and sub, there is panning a circling going on as well, I really enjoyed listening. From Burning Shed I also received a beer mat with Ian Anderson's signature on the back, I'm not sure if it's real or printed, hard to tell, I can't remember what they advertised when I ordered. Now on to the next disc...

Yea It's thicker and heavier than all the previous.
Edit: I can't get over how much content there is in this set, the 2nd DVDV is 1 hour 18 minutes of associated recordings, all mixed in 5.1. I'm still to delve into the 3rd DVD, the live in Germany in 4.1.

...beer mat...

To me (and most Americans, I'd wager), that's a "coaster." "Beer mat" conjures images of bar towels with beer brand images.

I'm pretty sure it's printed... AFAIK the same coasters was included with the Stormwatch Deluxe Edition from BS as apology for the delayed shipping.

This one still packs a punch! A powerful way to start my day!
