The All Jethro Tull Thread

[JohnN]

Legend, part of a mid-'80s wave of heavy duty high fantasy films (Dragonslayer, Ladyhawke, Willow and to an extent Krull) is the only one to base its lead character, played by Tom Cruise no less, on the same source as a Jethro Tull song. If that isn't legitimacy I don't know what is. Backlit goblins, gleaming unicorns, a field rich in the most photogenic pollen you've ever seen are all delightful, but Tim Curry's red-faced Lord of Darkness scared the crap out of all of us when we were kids.

Are the "Adapted Edition" DVDs region free?
The Rarewaves ad on Ebay state the "DVDs are Region 2 unless otherwise stated".

I think that's a standard disclaimer from Rarewaves, since it's based in the UK. All photos and info I've found from the set show region-free NTSC DVDs.

Is that the SFTW up now on Amazon?

Such a bizarre way to roll out these re-presses!

First MITG shows up only at JPC as a forthcoming late-November release (still no movement on that, and we're quickly running out of November); then Aqualung surfaces solely at Rarewaves (but only their eBay store, not their web store); now SFTW materializes exclusively, but only briefly, at Amazon.uk. (Although--hold the phone!--for a hot minute on Nov. 25th, there was precisely one copy available at Amazon US, for 31 dollars and change, from third-party seller OxfordshireEngland.)

What the hell?

By the way: for those who haven't yet picked it up, the re-press of TAAB is on sale at Amazon for Cyber Monday for $18.91:

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I just ordered it.
Nothing available at Amazon us. The secondary market on these is in the hundreds $$$

While I assume everyone already bought their copy, as it wasn't very expensive in the first place......Amazon Cyber Monday deal. $18.91

Ok, weird thing... I ordered the Songs from the Wood set and it was cancelled, with the seller saying it was the incorrect price. I ordered it again, same seller, and it's just a few dollars more.

Well, I see the Aqualang and SFTW sets are starting to showing up here and there... But where is MITG, the only one I need? Apart from JPC.de I can't find it anywhere. Weird.

(Where else have you seen Aqualung and SFTW, apart from the two sources listed upthread?)

@ Dynamic Editor, where did you order yours from that was canceled? I ordered one a few days ago from Amazon Uk, it was from a 3rd party seller (chalkys UK).
Total price, w/ shipping/tax, was a GBP 36.71. Don't know what the conversion to USD was.

It says on Ebay uk that this seller doesn't 'post to usa'... So that excludes me!

Here is the US listing. Free S&H. (Unfortunately the current coupon for the Rarewaves website doesn't work at their eBay store.) Hey @scooob!

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up. It's so odd that Rarewaves is selling this only on eBay. In fact, if you look it up on their site, it specifically says it's sold out. (Looks like an old entry.) But putting it on eBay does remove it from being eligible for any coupons they might have on the site and their rewards program. I guess?

I ordered both MITG and Aqualung yesterday--and got shipping notices for both of them this morning.

 

[beekay20]

So glad all of these are starting to trickle out so I can catch up! Ordered Aqualung, MitG, and SftW. Any word on Stand Up, WC, aPP, HH, and Too Old?

This is the strangest reissue campaign I've ever seen (as you pointed out previously, @humprof). Why would any company trying to make a profit sneak out spurts of product to a handful of minor-league retailers, here and there, under the radar, almost as if they were contraband?

I'm very tempted to order another copy of Minstrel, and the Rarewaves eBay listing does squeak under my previously-stated $35 threshold with tax included, but I'm hesitating. My legacy copy is perfectly functional, just has a cosmetic flaw, so I think I'm gonna hold out to see if this ends up being sold (in a plain brown wrapper, perhaps?) even cheaper eventually.

But congrats to all who have been missing any of these three titles in their library and didn't want to pay extortion-level prices for them on the second-hand market; this is like a lottery win for youse! Here's hoping Stand Up follows soon, for @edisonbaggins' sake.
