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.

Viridian is right.
I was lucky to have seen Tull when Stand Up was released- they opened for Blind Faith. D. and Bonnie on the same bill (which became Derek and The Dominoes.
Of course, the real treat was seeing Rhassan Roland Kirk on a beautiful sunny day on the U f O campus in Eugene. I though UFOs brought him and his band down to me.
Then (now I'm really bragging) about 20 years later I met Ken Kesey and mentioned the Hoo-Hah Festival which featured Rhassan, and, was put together by Kesey. He told me I was the only person he had ever met who was there!!!
I usually don't get into the vinyl/cd debate but what the hell.

IF you listen to any Tull album and any Tull CD, you will find out for yourself why there is a vinyl revival.

No contest. I spun Stand Up and Living in the Past, and Aqualung all in the past couple of weeks.

I bought a few cds of Tull over the years, Heck pay for postage and I will send you them as the vinyl is so superior it is laughable.

I am serious, email off line and I will send you my tull on cd.

Oh my...I read this thread and just chuckled :)
Jethro Tull concerts were always the most wonderful party with most wonderful friendly audiences.
On one occasion, the opening band was "Steeleye Span" and THEY were awesome. In fact, they were SO good that the entire audience who came to see Tull didn't want them to close their set. Finally Tull comes out, plays like madmen, and the encores were BOTH bands together on stage.
That concert went on and on for hours and NO ONE left.
One of the best experiences I ever had.
Oh yeah...IMHO Benefit is my favorite of their albums :)
Stormwatch & The Broadsword and the Beast are great cd's! The early stuff, same opinion as most. And I second Crest of the Knave.
i would have to agree about aqualung evaluations; this was a poorly recorded piece of music so the remastering can only accomplish so much. I do have a remastered, do not know the year, it has an interview track along with a version of lick your fingers clean.
