"Useless" if you don't have a 5.1 surround sound system..."freaking amazing" if you do.

It's the main reason I buy these editions. You hear things on the 5.1 that you did  not pick up in stereo and adds a new, refreshing take on all of Tull's albums. Worth every cent and Wilson has done a brilliant job on all of these editions.

^ All Warthur's reviews of these Deluxe JT boxes in my opinion miss 2 very important points:

1. The quality of multichannel remixes, which are excellent (for example, in case of "War Child" lots of sounds, lost in stereo mix, are clearly audible and give music additional dimension and quality).
2. Informative books, accompanying releases. Actually each of them describes in details the corresponding part of the band's history.

Live tracks checked out. They really pay off IMO (if you enjoy this particular JT line-up, of course).
See the review by Warthur for a closer appreciation:

I was going to give this box set a miss, despite enjoying the previous three from the classic folk trilogy period - but the lure of the Slipstream live material was too strong.

True, if you don't have surround system. Otherwise these DVDs are probably the best feature of the 40th anniversary editions. Smile 
Multichannel mixes give excellent listening experience, you can clearly hear lots of sounds and even instruments lost in stereo mixes.

As far as I know, it's the only JT album with Jobson's violin on board, and that is added value, to say the least...
Alas, Eddie only fiddles on two songs, but they are both good.


And is he featured in the live tracks, or only on the original studio album?

The entire "A" line up toured for the album: Anderson, Jobson, Barre, Dave Pegg and Mark Craney.


Nice. I don't know that album, but it might be interesting to hear what that line-up did with the classics from the 70's.

"A" was initially intended by Anderson as a solo album, but the label insisted in the use of the JT trademark.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
