    OK Boys and Girls, Ladies and Gentlemen,
    I was drawn into Tull as I had a brother who is about 57 and I am 54, those were the days of all kinds of Great Music Coming from across the Pond, no kids not the Anaheim Pond but the Atlantic Pond where one runs into a group of Islands known as the U.K the land of Kings and Queens and the commoners which would include the Hot Musicians like Jethro Tull with its Iconic Lyrical Giant known as the phallic playing Ian Anderson, I can say that because that's what he told me.............And you must agree it brought something to Rock n Roll it never had and to this day is a rarety.
    To say it never got the credit due is an understatement but if I and the musicians listened to that shat they'd give up. This album is incredible especially if you were seeing these guys about every 6 months in stadium venues here in lovely San Diego County in Southern Cali. You heard the transitions of a group as the aged and I am sure were dealing with Ah Hmm where to we go from here? Seems every hot group we grew up with is losing members to over indulgences. I see it as the beginning of a back off from some of the harder Tull into this period which found Ian on stage with an Acoustic Guitar as other albums such as Songs from the Wood were being explored by the band. To Old to Rock and Roll to Young to Die sounds about how I feel at 54, just can't shut off that heavy metal no matter how much less hair I might have or how grey it might be. But it kicks and if you listen to it again and again if its your first time there is Martins incredible weaving through the songs on his Gibson just as in the previous years. And Ian's ability at song writing is pure genious and remains so to this day. "It seems like everybody is on the stage and I am the only one sitting in the Audience." Different album but you say Tull and my mind goes to the Lyric or when I saw War Child indoors at the San Diego Sports Arena. Anyone downloading this it was redone in 2007 but comes from the pure days of "Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll." This is one album as many others in their line up that is a 5+ stars piece of work. Saw "Ian Anderson does Jethro Tull Orchestral" about 6 years ago and was transformed back to a much better time and place for an hour or so. Isn't MUSIC great? And all of the people coming out today just towing the same line Ian and the crew started all those years ago? Thanks B to Amazon who have made it possible to grab just about anything anytime and download it and be listening to it instantly. Yea I hate progress to a point and am feeling quite older these days but I can still close my eye's and see Jimmy Page and the Boys jammin at the S.D. Sports Arena my junior year of High School to this day the loudest Concert I have ever been to, my ears rang for a week.............Miss those guys terribly. Good to see Jason Bonham Jamming with Joe Bonamassa , Rock on!!!! What a Guitar Player did his mother ever imagine that is what she was to unleash on the world??
    Back to the album, CD, MP3 its getting hard to keep up with Jethro Tull will always be Giants and there collection of work timepieces of history we all owe a great debt of gratitude too. Peace Boys and Rock till you cannot walk.

    A friend of mine had introduced me to Jethro Tull back in the mid 1970's, but as a poor college student, I didn't have the extra money to buy any albums. Fast forward to now. I'm in somewhat better financial shape, and I decided to revisit the music I had listened to so long ago. What a pleasant surprise this was! The CD arrived in advance and well protected. I put it into my car (a super quiet Prius mind you) and the trip was on. Three play throughs later and I'm still wanting to hear more. Does that say enough?

    I'm sort of torn on this one.

    On the one hand, it's not really Anderson's greatest work. True, if you listen REAL HARD, you can hear Maddy Prior's voice on one track, barely emerging from the noise floor, and there's some decent acoustic work elsewhere on the album. Quizz Kid is pretty fun, and there's some occasional motorcycle nostalgia, but the world wouldn't be seriously changed if the album never existed.

    But, for whatever reason I like this album, which was unfortunate because when I first bought it, it was available mainly on vinyl, and every single copy I bought, had the same rump-rump-rump rumble underneath it, as if there were a heavy spot on the record or something. Just sounded like crap.

    Still, being the hardest of core Tull fan, and a totally unrepentant proghole, I had to instabuy this as soon as I knew it was available. And for my efforts, I got some high bit-rate recordings from the original master, without the annoying vinyl rumble, which was pretty much the point. And it sounds good, or at least better than the original.

    But, this is troubling. The Thick as a Brick, Passion Play and Minstrel in the Gallery (or, as I like to call them, Andersons Symphonies Nos. 1, 2 and 3) were very neatly laid out. Original flat masters, then the Steve Wilson remasters. Pick whichever one you like. And fairly high bitrate DTS 5.1 surround versions to boot. Great.

    This release has a lot of... stuff on it. Look hard enough and you'll find the obligatory high def flat master transfer, which is pretty much why I'm here in the first place. But then there's this... TV soundtrack? Is that a Steven Wilson remix or is it something else? Then there are bits and pieces of stuff all over the place. Maybe interesting from a historical perspective, but when I'm just sitting there trying to rip the tracks, it's a hot mess to figure out what's worth ripping and, for that matter, what it even is.

    The remixes on the previous three albums were all passingly worthwhile to me. I mean, they sound ok, if a little overly compressed, and there was that additional footage on APP, but the fancy "TV soundtrack" which may or may not be a Steven Wilson remix, is just completely uninspired.

    Then again, I'm a hardcore Tull fan and unrepentant proghole, so just buy this.

    Es una de mis bandas favoritas que me inspiraron para aprender a tocar la guitarra. No es un disco indispensable, pero he estado coleccionando su discografía en CDs. Ahora sí que es cuestión de gustos.
    Me llegó a tiempo y en buen estado.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Album gets an energy boost
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2024
    I purchased the 'TV Special Steve Wilson Remix', NOT the original album 'remaster', so please note that this review is for the former. (These reviews tend to get stuck under both). The version of the songs recorded for the tv special have so much more energy and sparkle than the original album, and I’m glad it was this version that Steven Wilson got to play with. (The masters of the original album no longer being available I think?). So definitely worth checking out if you were luke warm, or colder, on the original, as this is a different studio performance not just a different mix. Overall it’s a lot of fun, cohesive, and a great change of pace; in my Tull top 10 for sure. (Admittedly the original album might rank lower!) This single cd comes in a jewel case with a nice chunky booklet too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un cofanetto da considerare
    Reviewed in Italy on February 22, 2020
    Il cofanetto può sorprendere sulle prime, perché non contiene il remaster del disco originale, riprodotto tal quale in uno dei cd. La ragione è nel titolo del cofanetto: al centro dell'attenzione è portata la versione risuonata di questo classico dei Jethro Tull in occasione dello special TV che si può apprezzare anche in DVD. Il remaster di questa seconda versione del diso è davvero bello: brillante e definito nei suoni. E lo meritava.
