The All Jethro Tull Thread

[SomethingAnything]

I know that most Tull fans don't like Under Wraps, but I just love it for what it is. And it's primed for the Steven Wilson surround sound treatment, just like the best bits of Broadsword.

I'm enjoying obtaining the booksets of these albums I don't know so well. I do know Crest of A knave quite well though and hope that gets the same treatment. Some terrific songs on it, doin' it Dire straits style.

Burning Shed has sent out an email announcing the official represses of Stand Up, A Passion Play, War Child, and Heavy Horses. Individually or as a bundle!

 

[RustyM]

For me, I felt the ground shake! Thank you Burning Shed! I was hoping this would happen. You can get the bundle or individually. I ordered the bundle.

Too Old TV Edition is still on my radar.

I'm wondering (or is it dreading ) when the "Jethro Tull in Atmos!" reissue campaign will begin. Before or after the remaining 6 studio albums get the book set treatment?

I could be wrong, but I'm sensing, of the four, most people are keen on obtaining Stand Up? Why especially that one?

Dreading might be the word

But in this case, I'm 100% sure I wouldn't be buying these albums in Atmos again. To me, Tull's music has a strong "earthly" feel to it that makes Atmos unnecessary. I can understand the "need" for Pink Floyd or Yes in Atmos, but no so much for Tull. I'm very happy with the 5.1 mixes. As usual, YMMV.

I’m missing all four of these and Too Old to Rock n Roll. Burning Shed shipping for the four is 50 pounds, wonder if these will end up on Amazon?

Maybe it was the first to go out of print?

I have pre-ordered A passion play and War child from amazon, strange there’s no Heavy horses there yet

 

[theogluck1]

I desperately need War Child for my collection. Is it the prevailing wisdom of this group that I jump on the Burning Shed opportunity or wait (hold out hope) for a US distributor?

I preordered War Child from Amazon UK for $61, including shipping to the U.S. and taxes. That's the best price so far that I've seen. If Amazon US picks it up at a competitive price, I'll cancel and switch.

It is precious to those of us geriatrics who got in at the start.
Stand Up was the beginning of the classic line-up, when Martin joined.

Personally, the first five albums have more appeal than what followed TAAB.

The whole run book-ended by Stand Up and Minstrel In The Gallery is over the top exceptional to me. TAAB and Passion Play being the apex. Strong honorable mention to the rest up to Broadsword.

That's pretty much how I feel too.

IMO these are JT must haves. Bought both when released.

I still remember my absolute delight when I opened the bookset and these guys sprang up. Always the teenager.

Good article. Not sure I've ever seen that photo before... I got a strong Captain Beefheart vibe from Ian's visage and pose, on first glance!
