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.

>>Mr. Barre also says in an interview on his website that Tull don't play anything from "Passion Play" because it's one of the least favourite albums amongst Tull fans.<<

I have most of the albums (including the first 8), saw them 4 times between 1970-1973, and think "Passion Play" is a terribly disjointed uninteresting album.

YMMV

I have the Gold and the Chrysalis 25th or 30th Anniversary Remastered CD's.
I listened to them both yesterday.
They both sound pretty good to me.
Hmmmn...I may sell one on Ebay...

Are any Tull enthusiasts also fans of Faiport Convention? Lots of cross pollination between these two musical organizations. FC members who have recorded with Tull include Dave Pegg (bass/mandolin), Martin Allcock (keys), Dave Mattacks (drums), Gerry Conway (drums and Ric Sanders (violin).

I'm not all that familiar with Fairport Convention music, but I do like Richard Thompson, and find many similarities b/w him and Anderson, as composers

Yes, i have about 6 Fairport Convention remasters that i picked up last year along with some Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny.
Lieg and Lief is a fantastic Fairport album to start with in my opinion if you have never heard them before.
