Best sounding Jethro Tull compilation *

Ricks, I'm having trouble with seeing the picture or a link for the picture.

 

It's not there. Just an accident I'm sure. It's too late for an edit, maybe you could re-post ricks?

 

I agree. I'm sure it was an accident!

 

I have the "Best of Jethro Tull The Anniversary Collection" from 1993. Fatboy jewel case with the neon looking photo on front. Chrysalis label.

weird I see it...must be cached by my local browser?

Ok, 1 more time:

not a promo. here is what it looks like

 

My "neon" fatboy case, is Chrysalis / Capitol , made in the US say's 1993 on discs

My Non "neon" slimline case, is a Chrysalis (only) , made in Holland say's 1993 on discs



I thought the "neon" is the 1999, but now I'm all sorts of confused. Maybe they are both 1993 or both 1999 or 1 of each?

Is this what you mean by neon?

The Japan TOCP Chrysalis pressing from '93 has this cover.

 

M. U.

I have the Japan for MCA Canada version of this.
I don't know if this was the same with all of the CD issues of M. U., but the Teacher found here would give the MoFi a run for it's money.

 

yes that is the neon. is the other cover from '99?

 

I wonder if it's the same as the version on my early DADC US?

Would waveforms or the CRC value from EAC work?

Rick

 

Is it the mix found on the US Chrysalis of "Benefit" or "Living In The Past" MoFi? Full length or early fade? Thanks.

I don't know. I haven't seen the other cover (but I haven't really looked, either).

 

Early fade.

 

Thanks. Which mix?


guitar: left
bass: center
piano: left of center (between the bass and guitar)
vocals: center and right
second guitar (that comes in at the vocal): right

Minds are like old farts, the longer they linger the more they stink...

If I could only find my MFSL I'd remember this, and even play it...

End of status report

 

Looking at half.com, both covers are shown, and both are indicated as 1999 Chrysalis. Strange - maybe they just released two different covers. Anyway, based on some of the comments I'm assuming all versions (93 and 99, both covers) have the same mastering, unless someone posts differently at some point.

 

The dates on both issues of Best ofs read 1993. The Labels are different (Chrysalis, Chrysalis/Capitol).

That picture looks like a sampler from the box set.

Ricks, how many Cds is that?

 

mine is 2 CD's

 

I'll go with this one, unless my speakers are wired out of phase or the right speaker is wired as a left.


***Keyboards are more noticeable (better) on the MoFi.

 

Thanks. If the guitar and piano are on different sides there is no mistaking it. I like this mix.


I have never owned the original "This Was" album. Are the channels on "Song For Jeffrey" the same as on "LITP" or are they the same as the 2 CD "Anniversary Collection"? One of these is reversed.

Our EAC peaks are an exact match (see image below). but our TOC's differ very slightly, by just .03 seems innocuous. Looks like the mastering are exactly the same. Teacher sounds pretty good on MU to me, but I've never heard the MOFI LITP

 

pig whisperer = teacher with exam papers.
This is news to me + I have never owned "This Was" on vinyl.
I have the Originals box-set too - soooo if I check them I'll get back to you.

 

Ricks,

Found this (this link shows your photo as an alternate cover). Interesting. When I bought my fatboy style jewelcase in 1993 it had the neon Ian. Maybe it came both ways?

Question:

If I go here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Jethro...r_1_47?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1206756148&sr=1-47

http://www.amazon.co.uk/M-U-Best-Je...r_1_39?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1206756148&sr=1-39

Will I be getting the same mastering as the deleted domestic pressings?
