I am wondering why did you avoid it?
I, stupidly, believed the tepid reviews. I was a bit afraid to have the legacy tarnished. Never have been so glad as to be proven an idiot.

I like sailor. I love left right and audition though
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Apologies for the late reply but these tracks in this Youtube video were included in the 40th Anniversary Theatre edition of A Passion Play remixed by Steven Wilson. The first was the early "Skating Away...." recording and the other track is "Sailor" and it's there in its entirety on the 40th Anniversary Theatre edition of APP...."Sailor" is a fairly ordinary track IMHO.

It's my third favourite album. I like the medieval/folk feel. But mostly St. Bakerstreet Muse. And of course the two long acoustic songs. Requiem is perhaps the best in its sort. Sublime!
Requiem is one of my all time favorites Tull songs

I have a Musiccassette (from the 80's) titled Chateau d'Isaster Tapes.
Before the internet I was very curious about this album and never quite understood what it was.
It featured songs from the Warchild-era, but there was no info in the booklet.
Later on I read Tull were recording at Chateau D'Herouville, and it was a disaster (hence the title).

I'm very fond of the musiccassette and will hold onto it till the end of days. :D

Love Tull.  They'd be at least one of my top 50 artists.

Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses and Live-Bursting Out are my favorite Tull albums, but I love most of them.

I know it is not prog, but I like This Was a lot, especially Serenade To a Cuckoo, and Beggars Farm, and the box set cuts of To Be Sad is a Mad Way To Be, and One For John Gee

ok I get it with A and Under Wraps, but what's wrong with the debut? 
I think it's great.

It's not hate, it's just not love.
It's more Mick Abrahams-bluesrock, and not yet Ian Anderson prog/folk/rock.

I'm not too fond of bluesrock in general.

I love everything else. I also love all Ian Anderson-solo albums and the Martin Barre-albums.
 
I think my favourite albums are:

1. Thick as a Brick
2. Benefit
3. Minstrel in the Gallery
4. Aqualung
5. Crest of a Knave
 
My favorite Ian-album is Secret Language of Birds, wich is a masterpiece.

I just saw the Ian Anderson Rock opera about Jethro Tull the inventor. Great show Ian Still has it.

You won't regret lol. Warchild has about 3 albums worth and Aqualing and Passion have 2 albums worth and most of the others an
extra half album. The most notable ones are the 2 soundtracks Warchild and Too old. We almost get the 2 Tull albums I kind of expected from Tull on the remixes in addition to the 2 original soundtracks

Far more than I remembered. Still have a tough time wrapping my head around Under Wraps, though.  


U got any of the remixes? There are double the amount of great tracks compared to original albums. Sound quality is awesome. Ignoring compilations such as LITP, the run of 14 albums released from 68-82 in their original track list format only really tells half the story. There are 22 albums worth of studio tracks in this period and that's not including multiple versions of any single track. The best thing about this is that if I had to pick the 20 weakest tracks from this 15 year period, most of them would be original album tracks. So the remixes give us 8 extra albums worth of mainly great Tull
