Provisional details are now in the first post, and the USA pre-order link is already active. Steven Wilson involvement, hi-res surround ... looks great!

Very excited about this. This tour was my first Tull show and it was incredible. I agree with Pete about the lack of live video (apparently) but it's hard to complain about the content in this set.

Rumor is that Bursting Out will get the Wilson treatment, more specifically, the MSG show along with the Bursting disc(s).
Why would they do that album?
It’s great, but…
An almost identical show was included in the Heavy Horses box and the MSG show is already out as a CD/DVD combo release (still incomplete on video).
Of course I’d get it anyway, but let’s stick to the studio albums as they still have Under Wraps, Crest of a Knave, Rock Island, Catfish Rising and Roots to Branches left to do.

Agreed. And maybe reissue some of the out-of-print book-style box sets which now go for outrageous amounts, like they did with the Thick As A Brick set.

This is the worst box set packaging I've ever encountered. To remove or return the discs you basically have to scrape them against each other. Dreadful.

That's disappointing to hear. I hadn't gotten around to ordering this one yet. I have really liked the box sets so far. But this one went quite overboard with discs I thought.

I have to agree with you. I own the entire Jethro Tull box set collection and I hate the way they have the discs in this particular box

Without a doubt, the most inept and incompetent packaging ever.

One Amazon Reviewer said this, does this make sense?
There is an easy fix for the poorly constructed CD holders front and back inside covers: The springy clips at the bottom provide so much pressure that the discs won't even sit flat - they bend, and are difficult to remove, and may permanently warp if left as is. The discs must be pushed down from the top edge toward the clips and then they can clear the retaining tabs at the top. The ones seated flat against the back of the covers sit flat and need no modification.
First, remove the two topmost discs in each section Then simply break off the springy clip on one side (I broke off the ones on the left) There is plenty of tension provided by the remaining clip and now all the discs sit nice and flat!! They are also much easier to remove
