A is one of my favorite Tull albums actually but not sure i need the 40th anniversary issue. Is it worth it? I do have a few other 40th anniversary issues like Aqualung and although the extra bonus material is OK it's not something i have listened to more than once. -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

In my opinion all these Tull deluxe issues worth owning. Multichannel mixes, lots of rarities, live records, informative books - perfect editions. By the way all of them printed in limited quantity, once you missed them, pretty soon they become quite expensive ($100 and more). ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why...

I'm not as familiar with the supplemental material as on the other Wilson mixed deluxe boxsets so I'm really looking forward to this one. That I like "A" album a lot certainly helps.

A is a strange one - the classic Tull sound transformed into the '80s with only Ian and Martin still hanging around.....though not a great fan of the LP, this reissue is interesting for the video of the 1980 LA show and the old Slipstream video that we all used to have on VHS. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

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... |

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

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

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. |

| Like most of the 40th anniversay editions, the audio only DVDs are useless and only add to the price, making them not worth the price charged |

True, if you don't have surround system. Otherwise these DVDs are probably the best feature of the 40th anniversary editions. Multichannel mixes give excellent listening experience, you can clearly hear lots of sounds and even instruments lost in stereo mixes. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why...

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. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

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: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2535857" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2535857 |

^ 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. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

"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.
