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.

They played at the Red Light Cafe in Atl. It's a small dinner club/bar with tables. You can order your food and drink and stay at the table and watch the show.

Agree with Rwwear - Heavy Horses (vinyl) is the best sounding Tull I've heard. The re-release of Aqualung from Classic Records is not as good as the original release from Chrysalis even tho it's from the original pressing from Chrysalis and pressed at RTI! Go figure.

I've bought (read wasted my money) on so many vinyl re-issues in the hopes they'd be as good if not better pressing, and come to the conclusion - they don't sound better than the original pressings in most if not all cases.

Save your money that you'd waste on re-issues and buy a Loricraft record cleaning machine instead and seek out used copies for $5. Seriously.

As for CD, why bother?

Tull were a great band in their day. Teacher is still one of my all-time favorites....

I've always thought that it's extremely hard to find great recording on Chrysalis ever.
