Good lord... The 8-track and Cassette/ You are killing it Ferraro! I wish I wasn't working when this premiered... I spent many of hours listening and watching all the stuff in this box set... When you get all that extra information in the book and see them live... you really get to appreciate the albums so much more! The 5.1 was done pretty well! I know it was not recorded and intended to be in 5.1... but they did a decent job on it... I am so lucky and proud to have been able to experience this... and Heavy Horses! @Anthony Ferraro THANK YOU!
This guy Ferraro is pretty hardcore!! Nobody on the face of the earth can equal all of his versions..8 Track, JEEZZ what a collector nerd he truly is..
Thanks to Anthony and you, too, Pete, for the review of this. But the most exciting part to me was finding out about the planned Benefit issue for the fall. I feel the Ferraro-Pardo-Alo buy- another-edition curse coming on!
@@billcurtis6729 Thanks for your post. Bought the Benefit set when it was reissued and have acquired a few more and on the trail of those not yet in the library. Thanks again.
I really wonder when the Steven Wilson Remix will be released on vinyl.... Flyingdale Flyer, one of my favourites by Tull. Must be awesome in the remixed version.
Just bought the A La Mode box set, and I bought the Stormwatch box set a month ago. Just wonderful stuff. Sadly I missed on the previous box sets but I still got the albums. Looking forward to the Benefit box set.
thanks for the review i just received my Jethro Tull box sets a la mode and stormwatch they are huge and amazing sure hope i can get the rest if not too pricey also getting (This Was) next week
11:13 Minstral Live was recorded in Paris July 1975. The album was released in Sept 1975. It was really the WarChild Tour. Missing songs: Sealion, Ladies, (Drum Solo) Thick as a Brick (!!) War Child Play, War Child Suite (You can't always get ...)
Nice review! I just have to buy this one. I’ve got all the other Tull books, and it will be great to finaly replace the Benefit Digipak version for a book this autumn!
Thanks for the review of this fine album and box set. Nothing much to add but readers may like to know that I saw the band on this tour at the Royal Albert Hall on 20th November 1980 and they added Something on the Move and Dun Ringill to the set list.
Thx for the great channel Pete, a lot of "my" music is covered here. The A Album was my first one from Tull. The Wilson remixes sound just great, would like to have this one on vinyl too.
How did you miss out on a good chunk of the deluxe editions Pete? Did they not make their way to the US in the early days or were you not aware of how good they were, happy with what you had etc?
Basically, I've bought all these Tull albums like 5+ times each in all the various formats, reissues, remasters, etc...I had just said 'enough is enough' but then I got the Heavy Horses box and that opened the floodgates! These are SO well done!
@@seaoftranquilityprog yeah, I guess unless you read individual reviews within weeks or months...you were always gonna be chasing these. Still, if it's any consolation, the Thick As A Brick one isn't great content wise. It's the least of them all by far. Book is of course still great though.
Jethro Tull is my 2nd favorite band after Rush and these box sets are such a joy to experience. I am glad I got them as they came out because some of the older ones are out of print and quite expensive now!
Anthony and I are friends on fb and we talk Prog, Tull and Zappa a lot. He has a deep love for the A record. Steven Wilson did a good job remastering the early Chicago albums and the Tull.
I was working in a record shop when this came out and I loved Tull especially the last three albums.But I never gave A a chance or a real listen due to virtually a new line up except Anderson and Barre .Never owned A till about five years ago when I picked up a used CD copy in a charity shop for a $1.Now I really love it.But I am afraid Minstrel,Aqualung and Horses box sets will have to come first but this looks impressive.
I wish of was a fan of Jethro Tull. These box sets look absolutely amazing. I'm so jealous. I wish some of my favourite hard rock bands would produce similar box sets. They blow away the recent black sabbath deluxe box sets, which offer far less and are about three times more expensive. Great video non the less 👍
Pete just found out from a friend who saw an interview with Ian Anderson.He said Broadsword and the Beast is going to be the last one.But there is a ton of unreleased songs that will be on it.He also said there are alot of tape all over the place that could be used in the future for whatever
I have Benefit with two CDs and a 5.1 mix on a DVD. It's in a digipak and not in a book-form box. But it still sells for a lot of money on Discogs. And with the DVD I assumed it counted as being part of these reissues.
I've only listened to mine once through (it showed up while I was in the middle of burning up my Thin Lizzy - Rock Legends). But it sounds great so far.
This reminds me: Do either of you guys know if there exists a decent video of Tull Live from the "Passion Play" Tour? I've never been able to find anything excepting a few blurry excerpts via RUclips. I had prayed that the "Passion Play" box would have included (at least) some, if not an entire show. Any info on that?
Even after giving Barlow, Evan and Palmer the boot this version of the band was pretty strong - Anderson, Barre, Pegg and Craney was a formidable unit and adding Jobson topped it off. It is amazing how many jazz-influenced drummers played in this band continued on now with Scott Hammond. Looks to be a worthy purchase, interested to watch the show and read the comments.
I agree, if you're going as far as Broadsword...do 'em all. Steven Wilson orignally said he didn't want to go past the 70s but clearly with this and Broadsword he was talked round (probably because he thought he'd be touring his album and that didn't happen with COVID so he suddenly had time). Crest Of A Knave: Grammy Edition sells itself...by then - you've only got a few more to go. Imagine what we'd pay if all the content from the booklets of these was added together to make a history of the band. It'd be an epic tome.
I saw the A tour at MSG. I recorded the live concert included in Ala Mode off the radio show A night On The Road in 1981. I loved the solos Ian, Martin & Eddie were fabulous. I prefer A over the other 2 electronic era albums and even over Passion Play which I like but not the masterpiece fans make it out to be in my opinion!
Superb boxsets. They really need to do the whole book boxset for Thick As a Brick ( I'm hoping they'll do that next year with the 50th anniversary - please) because a lot of people passed by the 40th anniversary edition. That for sure along with Living In The Past and Jethro Tull Dot Com ( and perhaps the Christmas album!). The rest I'm not bothered about but of course as a Tull fan ...
@@Orange_Affinity I do like the 1980's sound. It did come out in 1984, so it would be expected to have an '80's sound. My other favorite JT albums are 'A Passion Play' and 'Songs from the Wood'.
I'm hoping the Carnegie Hall show is in the Benefit book set as it was erroneously included with the fortieth anniversary Stand Up but not with the reissue. As for the album that cannot be named I would be intrigued to hear the live material from the time which I think were Doane Perry's first shows with the band.
Stand Up and Aqualung have already been released (check the video here on the channel, Jack Tolendano and I showed all the ones we have)-Benefit coming later in 2021
Broadsword and the Beast will have literally, a ton of outtakes material. On a recent in interview, Ian said there more than 40 rare outtakes from the sessions....42 actually!!
This guy Ferraro is pretty hardcore!! Nobody on the face of the earth can equal all of his versions..8 Track, JEEZZ what a collector nerd he truly is..
I have them all and started collecting them when they started with Thick As A Brick back in 2011/12. That only cost me £14 from Amazon and I also got War Child and Too Old To Rock N' Roll at the same price. As far as I am aware of Benefit is only being re-packaged and the content will contain the same as the Collectors Edition that Wilson mixed back in 2012. Personally, I don't think these packages can be beaten and they are by far the best value for the buck of any box set. To be honest I was never into A when it was released back in 1980 and considered it to be one of the worst Tull albums ever. It does sound better with this Wilson mix and the tracks from it have always sounded better live. I never had the Slipstream video and that was most likely down to me not into being into A back then that I never bothered with it. Having seen it now I totally love it and the 5.1 mixes of the live concert in LA and Slipstream plus the album make it all much more enjoyable. I got a lot more out of this release than I expected and have quite a bit of praise for this release even though my favourite era of the band is from 68 - 78.
Couldn't agree more all the Steven Wilson remixes I have heard, Yes, Tull... all have great clarity and balance. No mega-bass, volume wars but good alt mixes, too. Anoher would be Tony Visconti's remix of Lodger .. alt. vocal tracks used, additional vocals but the over dubbed guitar is lost and I miss it - Still, you can't please all the people all of the time .. :-)
This is a weird one,no flute but big on synths. It was a brave step and i kinda like it. I must admit i am not the greatest fan,i have few classic CDs from 70s, i listened "A" only on YT. I was interested because it came out in Yugoslavia when i started to listen and collect records (i was 13),commercials about this album were very frequent in music press (we had just one magazine at that time) but i never bought it because i was more into punk, Motorhead,Iron maiden,new wave,post punk.

I have everything Tull ever put out and I’ve seen them more times than any other band. Having said that, “A” is an interesting album but doesn’t make my top 10. In fact, I’d put it somewhere in the bottom third. It’s certainly not a bad album, but it’s not one I reach for very often. However, I frickin love black Sunday and the pine marten’s jig. And further on is also very cool. So the album gets a C+ from me. For comparison, my favorite albums are SFTW and HH, so the electronic leanings of “A” don’t quite hit the spot for me.

Seeing as this is the second weakest album in the Tull catalogue (Only Too Old to Rock-n-Roll is weaker), I will likely pass on this. I've only bought a couple so far, mainly for the extra tracks or live stuff I haven't heard. But "Broadsword" is a top 5 Tull album for me so I may grab that. I don't find anything special about these Steven Wilson mixes at all. Maybe my sound system isn't good enough.
I love sea of tranquility, watch almost all of your format. I do have to say I hate this premiere feature. Looks like the show is available, but it's not. Terrible format. Love you Pete, just not this new feature
These Tull "booksets" are among the best value propositions for fans out there. The upcoming 40th for Broadsword And The Beast is supposed to be extra special according to Ian. Premieres are advantageous to content creators because it allows live chat during the premiere. Therefore increasing engagement, therefore lifting the video higher in recommendations.
@@Palosrob I like it though as Pete's old format of the listening room might have had cool stuff that got missed as people didn't want to watch for 20mins in case that one thing they're curious about got a mention. This way each review gets a vid.
What's not to like? You get advanced notice of when a video is posting, and then you can watch the live premiere and chat with others (and occasionally myself) or watch it later. We are doing this so we have specific content on specific days, so everyone knows when things will post on the channel. It's not like the episodes are disappearing, you watch them when they go live or later, just like a regular TV or cable channel. To be honest, most people seem to enjoy this format as it makes this much more organized instead of just haphazardly posting content at weird hours of the day and random days during the week, which makes it MUCH easier to miss episodes.
Broadsword is one of my all-time favorite Tull albums. That is automatic, and I already ordered the Stormwatch.
Fact of the day: Broadsword is one of Steve Hackett's all time favourite albums!
Good lord... The 8-track and Cassette/ You are killing it Ferraro!

I was lucky to see this tour at MSG with Whitesnake opening. Both bands on fire. A great memory from teenage years.
Wow!! That’s a cool, hot and spot-on box set of Jethro Tull !!Thank you guys for your review!!
All the damn time!!🎤🎸🎵🥁

Flyingdale Flyer, one of my favourites by Tull. Must be awesome in the remixed version.
I pre-ordered direct, and got a signed postcard from Ian included. He signed it "Ian Anderson...Tull" - like we wonder who he is if we're buying!
Really love new format reviews every Wednesday thank you
The late great Mark Craney. One of the best.

If interested the 'Classic Album Review' channel also discusses this album. Hope this comes out on vinyl
This review gets an A from me!!
🤣
Haha, it's funny because the album's called A, and A is also top mark... Haha. ( Family Guy reference, in case you don't get it)

No it is Fylingdale Flyer, which is actually a place on the North Yorkshire Moors, an RAF listening radar station is situated there
@@johnhenfrey5936 Yes, I've been there. Anthony mentions a video for WJWJ, but I think he means FF.

Had this set a few weeks now, Probably not my favourite set in this series so far, but definitely worth buying.
Mark Craney played on the legendary Brother to brother tour with Gino Vannelli in 1979
I’m hoping they reissue Thick as a Brick next year, as that is the only book edition I’m missing.
Where is the best place to pre order these Tull Box sets?
Burning Shed.

Review the new Frost- Day and Age. PLEASE!
A was my first Tull 8 track tape I got it because of the concert footage of Aqualung on mtv. Haha thought Aqualung was on A. Oh well !
I can't wait for the Under Wraps box set!
Under Wraps is one of my favorite Jethro Tull albums.
