Jethro Tull 5.1

Maybe a repeat

Here's a link to a recent interview where Ian mentions the newly discovered tapes.

Aqualung 40th - 11 bonus tracks (some alternative versions)

 

Thanks! Any details on what tracks those might be??

 

I've seen wish lists that look like this:

Dr Bogenbroom
For later
Up the pool
Wondring again
Nursie
Life is a long song(remix)
Teacher(MU version)

Note that the 1996 and 1998 remastered Aqualung CDs added six bonus tracks
No. Title Length
12. "Lick Your Fingers Clean" 2:46
13. "Wind Up (Quad Version)" 5:24
14. "Excerpts From the Ian Anderson Interview" (Mojo Magazine) 13:59
15. "Songs For Jeffrey" (BBC) 2:51
16. "Fat Man" (BBC) 2:57
17. "Bourée" (BBC, written by Ian Anderson, Johann Sebastian Bach) 3:58

 

*****Ian Anderson says the 40th remix sounds very clear to him. He was not happy with the original recording.

 

What is this?

Celebrating Chrysalis: Chrysalis 25th anniversary 1994 CDP32 1044-2

http://thejethrotullboard.proboards...display&board=albums&thread=1653&page=1#10908

Released to celebrate 25 years of Chrysalis records - not to be confused with the completely different 25 years of Aqualung remaster (as found in The Ultimate Box Set-EMI Chrysalis).
Blue box Aqualung released in 1994 has a timing of 43:34.
I've concluded that the UK blue box CDP32 1044-2 inner ring CDP 321044 2 . 2 - :3:10EMI Swindon is the best balanced sound to my ears - hiss intact at an acceptable level and of all the versions I've heard, Up To Me is my favourite in sound here.

Other than the (best CD) DCC - I'll recommend these - all others were a disappointment to me. Aqualung on CD:
same EAC as:
WG Sanyo Japan 610 016-222
WG Sonopress Germany 610 016-222

 

Thank you.

 

About that price. Here's the price sticker from the time of release. Only place I could find it, so I paid the HMV high Canadian$$.

Add: the navy blue jewel case is the same style as found in the Pink Floyd Shine On box.

 

Cool. Thanks again.

Anyone see/hear any more updates concerning this release?

Any more info you can give at this time, Steven?

 

Great Martin Barre interview... one of the most under-rated guitarists of rock.

Granted, product page is vague, but this will lock in my chance at their lowest price, + my Prime membership means free shipping as always.

Thanks for the heads up Tootull.

 

Ah! We will have uncompressed mixes after all.

But that awful moiré on the cover art is there; granted it's probably not an actual photo of the product.

 

Most important, we have a release date, AND a company asking a ridiculous price up front...practically guaranteeing lackluster sales, thus low print runs, and frantic collectors shelling out up to 5 times that once the become eBaylible...

If the only one I'm interested in only comes with the others.

That's from the 25th anniversary. I'm bound to deceive you after all.

 

This is all I need = 2xCD+Blu ray

Take off, eh!

 

Jeez, while I'd love to hear a surround mix of "Aqualung", I'm certainly NOT going to pay $148 + dollars, to do it. It's no bloody wonder why Ian Anderson still has all of his money these days!

 

Same here.

This will upset the hi-res fans, but how about a downloadable DTS-CD file costing say around $10?

For those not into surround formats, a DTS-CD uses the CD's .wav file system but instead of a stereo lossless format, the two channels are used as a "container" for a 1200kbps 5.1 channel file, which is approximately equivalent to a 400kbps MP3 stereo file.

Advantages:

* it would still sound good

* the DTS format can be decoded by the millions of A/V receivers and all-in-ones that have been sold in the past 12 years

* the DTS-CD .wav file can be burned to a conventional CD-R just like a "normal" CD .wav file, so no special software or hardware needs to be purchased by the end user.

* any CD player or dvd player with a digital output can play such a disc....and there are lots and lots of those out there too!

* to keep nervous label accountants calm, DTS is a lossy format so a hi-res/master tape quality file would not be floating around the internet as would be the case with a dvd's or Blu-ray's lossless 96/24 or 192/24 PCM file.

* anyone with a broadband connection could download the file (albiet slowly for those with entry-level broadband), helping to increasing sales figures

As an alternative, a DTS file formatted for dvd use could be offered (and a lower data rate, down to around 730kbps, can be selected if the label chose to do so ), but burning a disc for these is not nearly as easy as the above.

 

This is always the strangest part of this place. An anticipated product is finally announced with a pre-order. It's never up to the imagined expectations of forum members, so now they'll begin to pontificate about how it " should be " released...

It's DONE, OVER, FINISHED, kaput ! You either buy it the way it is, or don't. What part of OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR BASEMENT BLUEPRINTS don't you get ?
