A Passion Play was Tull's most ambitious achievement & seemingly universally reviled, at least at the time; too bad, it over-reaches a bit, but it is mostly very great!
This is the Steven Wilson remix, done from the original multi-tracks!

“Jethro Tull’s 1970 classic Benefit will be celebrated in a brand-new 4CD/2DVD set, featuring remixes by Steven Wilson, an abundance of previously unreleased material, packaged within a deluxe hardback book, containing 100 pages of commentary from numerous contributors alongside hordes of images of the band creating and performing their first million-selling album.
Following the successes This Was (1968) and Stand Up (1969), Jethro Tull returned in 1970 with their third studio album in as many years...

This is the 2004 digital remaster that contains the complete double album set (the previous version cut out a bunch of material to fit onto one CD) and Ian Anderson's liner notes.

"Released just as punk was taking hold on the public's imagination in America and making groups like Tull seem like dinosaurs on their way to extinction, Live -- Bursting Out became a seemingly perpetual denizen of the cutout bins for years afterward.
However, it happened to be a good album, a more-than-decent...

An entire previously unreleased concert plus many bonus tracks.

"‘Minstrel in the Gallery,’ Jethro Tull‘s eighth LP, is being remastered and expanded for its 40th birthday.
The band’s fifth consecutive U.S. Top 10 album — and the last to.

Disc One : Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL, 16th August, 1970 WLIR-FM Radio Broadcast.
Disc Two : The Jarhunderthalle, Frankfurt, Germany, 21st February, 1970.

Bargain price on the PAL version of Tull's 1981 concert film. There's some great stuff on here and also some unbelievably dated and goofy effects, which either make this priceless or terrible, depending on your p.o.v.

This is the 2001 digital remaster with 4 bonus tracks and Ian Anderson's new liner notes at a great price. Ian says that this is one of his favorite Tull albums, and it is certainly one of mine; it probably *is* my favorite of their work!

“The Broadsword And The Beast - The 40th Anniversary Monster Edition will be released as a 5CD + 3DVD set including a 164 page book with interviews with band members, a track by track annotation by Ian Anderson, an interview with sleeve illustrator Iain McCaig, an extensive interview with studio and live sound engineer Leigh Mantle, a recreation of the 1982 tour programme and touring schedule, and rare photos and memorabilia.
The set will include ‘The Broadsword And The Beast’ a Steven Wilson stereo..

“I am a longtime Jethro Tull fan, but Ian Anderson's voice has been on the decline for a few decades now. I was unhappy when he booted Martin Barre from the band. His solo records were lackluster at best and I found it nervy of him to tour under the heading of Ian Anderson Performs Jethro Tull. He wanted to move beyond Tull, but came back to it often in the form of tours, books, anniversary box set releases and so forth. He was nearly the Scottish Gene Simmons - making a cheap buck at every turn...

Thick As A Brick is one of the great classics of the progressive rock era, by one of the great early bands of the era.
This is the Steven Wilson remix, done from the original multi-tracks!

Tull’s first and there is some great stuff here, even if much bluesier than what was to come. If you didn’t feel like springing for the big box, but you want to own the Steven Wilson remix, that’s what this is at 1/3rd the price of the box.
The Steven Wilson remix of this classic album. Jethro Tull is a British rock group, formed in Luton, Bedfordshire, in December 1967. Recorded at a cost of £1200, it is the only Jethro Tull album with guitarist Mick Abrahams, who was a major influence for the...

A 40th anniversary (my, my, but I'm old) reissue of the band's excellent album which turned out to be hugely different in some ways from what would follow later. Disc one contains the original mix mono version of the album, which has never been...

"The spectacular international debut of Serbian guitarist, Dusan Jevtovic, is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride: full of twists and turns that you never see coming. Am I Walking Wrong? showcases moments of immense raw, explosive power, interspersed with...

Asger Nissen: Alto Saxophone
Julius Gawlik: Tenor Saxophone
Felix Henkelhausen: Acoustic Bass
Jim Black: Drums

“Drummer and bandleader Jim Black has been one of the most influential figures in progressive jazz since the nineties. In this new formation, Black brings together the young musicians Asger Nissen, Julius Gawlik, Felix Henkelhausen, who are among the most original and articulate voices of European jazz innovation, with the same basic instrumentation as two of the greatest...

new release by the leader of Napoli Centrale

"Although post-Group Scene band Flowers were gaining increasing popularity in late '60s Tokyo, founder and guiding light Yuya Uchida was becoming increasingly frustrated that cult status was not translating into commercial success. Watching a rehearsal...

What does the band's name mean? I dunno, but they are Italian, so maybe it's just a translation issue. Anyway, this is a power trio with blues and psych overtones. Think 1970-1972 and Skid Row/Groundhogs/Zep/Humble Pie etc. As I get older, I find I...

“The follow-up to Chuck Johnson's acclaimed Balsams LP, The Cinder Grove delves further into the compositional possibilities of the pedal steel guitar. This halcyon collection of tracks draws on a wider palette of sounds, adding strings and piano, to dive deeper into the sound bath of Johnson's meditative music. The Cinder Grove is a profound, affecting statement on the nature of loss and irreplaceability as well as a major addition to the canon of Johnson's work. It's a suite of requiems for lost places...

Hermione Johnson - solo prepared piano

“Auckland-based Hermione Johnson’s Tremble evokes the sound of a large Indonesian gamelan orchestra via the insertion of small chopstick-shaped rods at diverse angles, establishing different timbral zones, contraposed in imbricated, polyphonic textures. On “See My Permanent Face” she sets chime and gong tones against a cyclic pattern suggestive of a carillon of bells, later adding a fast moving harp sound and low muted strings. Many pieces employ like...

With Wynton Kelley, Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, Charles Mingus, Paul Chambers, Kenny Clarke. [Blue Note]

We got a tremendous buy on small-ish quantities of the famous Blue Note label. These import versions (which include the full liner notes in En...

Anna Webber – Tenor Saxophone, Flute
Max Johnson – Bass

Michael Sarin – Drumset

“Described as “an intrepid composer, architect of sound and beast of the bass...” (Brad Cohan, NYC Jazz Record) composer, bassist, and improviser Max Johnson creates complex worlds of sound, challenging his listeners to engage deeply and be rewarded with an experience always crafted with love, care, and clarity.
With nine albums and over two thousand concerts internationally with artists like Anthony.

After way too long, I am happy to see RLJ return with a new album and a new instrument that has hugely inspired him. Warmly & strongly recommended; there's billions of great acoustic guitarists out there, but no one else sounds like Richard...

"Be prepared...the extraordinary Richard Leo Johnson isn't quite like any...guitarist you've ever heard before".-Jazzwise. This one is very low key, very personal and very extraordinary. Best known for his blazing speed and unusual techniques on the ac...

Robert Johnson is THE pre-war bluesman, and represents to many the peak of that creative time before the post-WWII migration of African-Americans to Chicago and the electrification of blues. This contains all the masters of the 29 tunes written and recorded by Johnson before his death as well as the 12 alternate takes and is definitely a high-water mark of American music.
You can get these recordings in other packages for more money, but these 41 tracks is all the music that exists from this...
