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.

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.

First off,

I agree with those who commented that the first 5 records are all really good and after that....

But it's funny to see all these comments about Tull live without any mention of the sheer volume. I saw the Thick As A Brick tour when it hit Nassau, NY and, to this day, my main memory is that IA's flute at that spl was actually painful.
