This is going to be released in a few weeks. Will have 12 unreleased studio tracks plus the quad album. Can't wait. This will match the aqualung 40 year box set. One of the studio tracks is tomorrow was today . 3 albums worth of tracks. Most of the best tracks weren't even on the original 11 song album

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.

I'll definitely be getting this one. My fave songs on the previous remaster were mainly bonus tracks plus queen and country, warchild, solitaire and skating. I love the live version of tomorrow was today so I can't wait to hear the studio version. I always felt that bungle, sealion, hoorah, two fingers were good tracks but they all have that over happy cheesy lyric feel to them and an album with too many songs like this doesn't come across as too strong. If only this was realeased as a 2 or 3 cd album. Would have been awesome. Wasn't a great choice of tracks for the original album though but this release will be probably my fave release from 1974.

Great. I love Warchild. Backdoor Angels is one of JT's great songs (IMO)

I'm not waiting for any 40yr remix at all, the more when the album is Warchild, although here is a chance of imprevement of at least 96% when new material will be added. On a 40 anniversary occasion I find a sequel far more preferrable (like TAaB2 40 years after TAaB).
Warchild was one of the very few 70s albums by a prog band that turned me off at first listen (but that might be a reason to revisit it now that I'm a few decades older ).

There's 3 albums worth or studio material. This is the same lineup who produced gems in TAAB and APP. They went for a pop approach in 1974 for Warchild but the stuff that wasn't on the album is the usual first class tull. But even on the original album there are 3 or 4 pretty cool songs. The quad album is included too. Bungle actually sounds good on the quad but I didn't like it much on the original album. There's about 30 songs and the weakest 5 or 6 tracks are on the original album. But then again the weakest 5 or 6 songs on the aqualung remix of 20 songs are on side 2 of the original too. The quads of both albums improve some songs from both these albums eg. Hymn 43, wind up, my god, bungle, locomotive etc. These songs go from possibly unlistenable to listenable when heard in quad Edited by dr prog - October 06 2014 at 03:34 |

Release date is Nov. 25th, $45, by Steven Wilson. (Gotta love Steven. He both records his own masterpieces and restores the masterpieces of his predecessors. Dude is irreplaceable.) Edited by Stereolab - October 11 2014 at 00:34 |

I didn't enjoy them enough to want to play them when I put the cd in. But the quads I can. Hymn 43 quad I can't stop playing. The original I didn't mind but would always skip mainly because of the vocals. Why you cross out Bungle? |

My God, it's been 40 years? I remember being sick with the flu and my brother running into my bedroom with the just-released album in his hands. Time is a cruel mistress.

Hands down the best band of 1974.20 studio tracks plus 6 orchestral pieces. Also the quad version of the albumThe 2nd album of 10 studio tracks is definitely better than the original album or 10 tracks.Strongest tracks from the 2nd disc are Good godmother, Saturation, Glory row, Paradise steakhouse, Rainbow blues, March the mad scientist, QuartetStrongest tracks from 1st disc are Warchild, Queen and county, Skating away, Only SolitaireThe quad of Bungle in the jungle is really good and smashes the original version imo.

Over 20 years ago, I bought a copy of Warchild. Maybe 2 tracks really agreed with me. I hocked it.
I just can't see the value in Warchild. And very little in Too Old To R&R .....(save for Quizz Kid).. Ian was not always correct with his assumptions....... Edited by Tom Ozric - December 12 2014 at 04:47 |

Got mine yesterday. Played all of it on my new 5.1 super surround system (yay!). This box set is simply superb. Will have to play it all again tomorrow. The previously unreleased orchestral stuff is quite uplifting. The stand out for me is the song "Tomorrow Was Today". This track has never been released until now. I have heard a bootleg live recording of it. I find it unbelievable that it has taken 40 years for this brilliant track to actually see the light of day. A quintessential Tull song if ever there was one. Anderson really does set his standards very high if he believed this song wasn't good enough to released on either vinyl or CD up until now. |

Tom, what's going on? I was a teenager when I bought this album and I was in love with both the album (and a young girl down the road!). WarChild to me brings back so many memories. (Boy she was cute). Tom, give WarChild another try...oh it might also pay to fall in love with someone at the same time! |

Tomorrow was today isn't bad but I love Good godmother. Tull should have released this as a double album at the very least. It would won back a huge amount of fans who were a bit disappointed by the original release

Barry, Dr Wu.....
Your words do mean a lot to me, I may give the album another go, I'll just need to find another copy of Warchild on vinyl......I know it features a wonderful line-up, just after Brick and Passion Play I was expecting a lot more........ |

I got mine. Pricey but they did a hell of a package. So a side question for those that have it, if you were to take all the tracks from the two CDs that aren't redundant (Warchild II and Sealion II) and include the orchestral bits, how would you arrange it to make one mega album?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

You need to get the box version. If the original only has 2 strong tracks, the box has a dozen strong tracks. The tull that you thought was missing is really there on the box Edited by dr prog - December 12 2014 at 06:47 |
