I remember buying "This Was" for $3.29 back in '68 (Caldor's, Riverside CT). Who were these guys? Took it home and listened to it on my plastic GE one-box stereo. Ah, the good old days! Became a fan - saw J.Tull in August '70 (Central Park - Schaefer Music Festival) doing Aqualung! Saw them twice more years later in Vancouver doing Thick As A Brick and Passion Play. Just bought a nice Lp copy of This Was (Reprise steamboat) to go along with my later Chrysalis Lp.
Jethro Tull CD/DVD Special Editions
So the mostly recent Jethro Tull Special Editions with multiple CDs and DVDs are mostly OOP now. Unfortunately for me, I was only able to purchase maybe half of them before the prices skyrocketed into the ridiculous zone. Seriously, $250 to $500 for a few CDs and DVDs!? That’s crazy....
Still, I am disappointed and the recent release of the 50th anniversary of This Was has given me some hope. So here is my question: has anyone heard anything about a possible 50th anniversary printing of these discs? The This Was release was a substantial improvement over the 40th anniversary, but I could care less about these being improved. I am just hoping that they find an excuse to run another printing. I just can not afford, nor will I pay, $280 for Passion Play or $450 for Songs From The Wood.
Anyway, any information would be appreciated. Many thanks, Aaron
