Bougth the album 5 times in the last 20 years: Vinyl, CD, Mobile Fidelity Sound, Remaster, Japanese mini-lp. I'll pass on this one as i'll surely buy the 50th anniversary edition. ------------- |

Do you like the MFSL cd? I have A Passion Play on gold and notice a vast improvement in the sound. Off topic, but just curious. |

Yes the sound quality is excellent and really clear. The only gripe i have with it is that the audio is too quiet, you really have to crank your system to the max to hear it well. ------------- |

I'd get a copy but I am out of money and have already spent too much on remasters anyway. But if you be a newbie and unacquainted with the album it is a worthy member for your collection. :)

I have about 10 different pressings. How many more outakes and remasterings do I have to listen to ?

I like how Steven Wilson is envolved in remastering album classics. He's done so well it. Loved his work on the king crimson albums, especially IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING. ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Well of course, you have Steven Wilson's re-mixing into 5.1 of Jethro Tull Aqualung??? It is beyond belief good. Sounds like that record was recorded in 2012 NOT 1971. I am positive Thick As A Brick will be a stunner as well. I can't wait. I am currently enjoying the new SW ELP 5.1 mixes, more than should be legal. What a treasure of a remixing into surround! ------------- "Yeah, people are unhappy about that - but you know what, it's still Yes." - Chris Squire |

Wait, the cd is 5.1 as well? Will you be able to get the cd without the dvd? Getting the cd/dvd package with the book might be expensive.

No, the DVD is 5.1. No to your second question. From BurningShed, it is $35 shipped to the US but I'm guessing the retail price will be around $30, that's pretty good for a 104 page hardback book and the CD/DVD. |

Can't wait. If you can only buy one version of this great album you might as well buy the best. Until next time? 10 years down the track? ------------- Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. |

I'm always game for a good remaster, but for my personal taste that would be a strong reason not to get this.

Count me stoked. I've been waiting for this baby to come out. Supposed to be the same with A Passion Play at some point, I thought I heard somewhere.

This sounds good, but what I would really like is a DVD of the current concerts with any film from 72 of TAAB. ------------- Allomerus. Music with progressive intent. http://allomerus.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - http://allomerus.bandcamp.com |

Just received both the 40th Anniversary deluxe edition with 2102 remaster CD and DVD 5.1 edition as well as the vinyl box set of TAAB1 and 2. Stupid thing is: I don't possess a 5.1 system nor a turntable! Has anyone listened to the DVD of TAAB1 yet? I would love to hear it. Please report.

| That should read 2012 remaster...although I also would love to hear the 2102 remaster as well! |

Think I'm gonna put my $$ towards the Dark SIDE OF THE MOON immersion box set. $125 clams for that sucker. It's nice though. 5.1 remix by Alan Parsons called spooky mix. Lol. I'm in like sin!!! ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Big problems with the TAAB 40th anniversary DVD 5.1 disc on early pressings. See Tull website press release below.

Meh. I'll pass and spend my $$ on a Wilson remastering of the better Tull epic; provided he makes good on the offer (as quoted to Rolling Stone by Ian Anderson).
