Anyone heard/compared the Steven Wilson...

Yes Wilson's re mix of Aqualung is the best out there. His re mix of Benefit is also the best out there.in the liner notes Ian talks about noisy amps and other things while recording Benefit which Wilson removed. Both are fantastic and worth the money. I wish he would do Stand Up. These three albums by Tull are my favorite.

Qdrone- am I correct that the Wilson remix vinyl LP of Aqualung is not
available as a 'stand-alone' copy (without the CD or DVD-A or whatever
other digitally readable formats it was sold in as a package?- that's how I
saw it marketed originally).
My old copy of Stand Up is sublime, I got lucky on that one, an orange
eyeball pink label, looks like it was pressed at Orlake, which I gather is hit or
miss- sometimes very noisy; this copy is great, very rich, no noise problems.
But, probably not easy to find at a price in great condition. Stand up is my
personal favorite.

I have the Wilson miced 40th anniversary "Aqualung" cd package. It is fantastic.

Steven Wilson has a FREE download on Amazon of his some of his solo pieces by the way.

I have the Aqualung remix and was astounded at the sound quality.
I also have a nice selection of Porcupine Tree recordings (some in 24/96) that never disappoint.
Steve has albums under his own name that are truly enjoyable also.
He is a true master recording engineer.

Well, I answered my own question, it was just released as a stand alone piece of vinyl. Another copy on the pile! I'll take a photo at some point of how many pressings of this record I have- it's almost not funny. And, it isn't even my favorite Tull record (Stand Up is, though I like Benefit, and Aqualung, as well as This Was).
