Jethro Tull questions...

I don't know much about this groups' discography, only the songs played on classic rock radio.

I am not really interested in purchasing a greatest hits compilation. I would like to purchase the separate CDs, but I would like some feedback as to how their CDs sound.

I tried to find a remastered version of "Aqualung" but apparently only the gold disc exists and it usually can be found on Ebay for hundreds of dollars.

So my question is, do Tull plan on remastering this album?

Also, what about War Child, Benefit and Thick as a Brick?

Are there remastered versions of these albums available and how do they sound?

Thanks very much in advance.

Up to Passion Play, all great. "Best" 3 are first 3. Ian can't sing anymore. All his vocals are "clipped" and no longer fluid. It's tragic. He was so darn great. Still has a wicked sense of humour though.

What you mean up to PP? Passion Play is great.

Late again,
And that's my favorite band. I've been to pretty much every show in Phila. area since the early 90s, his solo with an orchestra included.
The last year's 40th Anniversary Tour show was the best by far.
As to their recordings- I can't name a bad album, maybe with the exclusion of "A" and "Under Wraps".
They are all different musically, and even the "weakest ones" are so much superior to other bands best output.
I consider Anderson one of the greatest contemporary musicians. Can't even put him squarely into the rock category. He's so much more, than that.
Sound wise- I feel "Christmas Album" is one of the best.
One strange thing- every time I see good vinyl copy of "Living in the Past", I can hardly stop myself from buying it, just like Bruce Willis in "Conspiracy Theory".
More to discover
