And to think this started out as an Ian Anderson solo album.
It definitely has its quirky songs. There's a couple that I detest, but the good songs really outweigh the crap ones. Crossfire, Fylingdale Flyer, and Black Sunday are the cream of the crop here.

Great news that Benefit will also “benefit” from the box treatment and will be out this fall and Broadsword and the Beast (yeah!) will be out next year.
Bring out every Chrysalis release I say!
There is no better remix series than these.

If you want to hear what Steven Wilson can do with mastering and 5.1, listen to his new album. He really is the master of “remastering” or mastering in general.

I'll give them $300 today if they need me to help crowdfund The Broadsword and the Beast, Under Wraps, Crest of a Knave, Rock Island, Roots to Branches, and Benefit.

These have sold extremely well, so I hope there’s no need to crowdfund.
But I’m with ya because those are great albums (aside from Under Wraps, though that was an interesting experiment).
The remasters on those were badly lacking rare tracks, so they can beef them up.
Adding the Philly show from Thanksgiving Eve 1987 for Crest Of A Knave would be great because I was at that show and it was the best Tull gig I ever saw and it was a popular radio broadcast.

I'd love to see a 5.1 mix done of the 25th anniversary re-recordings of classic Tull songs. Those tracks sound stunning and would be amazing in 5.1, Ian Andersons voice isn't brilliant but the music is.

I shouldn't love Tull. I don't listen to much progressive rock. But when I was 8 or 9 I discovered "Heavy Horses" and it just stuck. That's still my favorite album of theirs, but I like the whole catalogue and I'm looking forward to "A" being released in this format.
I had been hoping that some of the unreleased songs would include early versions of songs like "The Clasp" or "Seal Driver"--stuff that would sound interesting with Mark Craney's drumming. I see Cheerio is here, but if it's anything like the Broadsword version it will be short and minimal.
"Protect and Survive" is one of the most underrated Jethro Tull songs EVER.

Anybody get it yet and listen? As usual, this sounds stupendous. The remaster from a few years ago sucks compared to this. I've only listened to the A remix so far. I may comment on the live discs later on.
