Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity?


Howdy,

Curious if anyone has had the opportunity to compare the recently released remastered Tull CDs (all with "bonus tracks")with the Mobile Fidelity Gold disc offering. Thanks!

I agree Linkster. Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Wakeman are all virtuosos on their respective instruments. I saw them twice during this year's tour and they are still incredible and TIGHT. Now, one might not like their style, and I have no problem with that, to each his or her own, but they are among preeminent musicians in the field and should, I think, be in the R&R Hall of Fame.
Tull had their ups and downs, but "Thick as a Brick" always takes me back to high school days!

After reading this thread a couple of days ago, I was scrounging through several hundred older LP's that are in queue to be cleaned and came across a rather obscure copy of "Supercharged" which contains a live LA performance of Tull. On the cover is a particularly maniacal picture of IA in the throes of performing. My wife and I were talking about "Jethro Tull" and various and sundry memories. My eight year-old nephew, upon spotting the LP cover says, "Wow. That Jethro is a wild looking dude".

Wild, indeed.
Gee, how could I have known how quickly I would once again call upon my earlier "Thick as a Brick" reference? Oy Vey...
Well, your final sentence said, and given a number of rather gratuitous references elsewhere on this site regarding TRex, kinky sex, etc., I'm surprised the Tull lyrics "your sperm's in the gutter - your love's in the sink" don't otherwise appeal to you.

BTW, it is Tuesday, not Monday, at least in my world
Those lyrics are in the opening verse of Thick as a Brick. Tull is, in places, composed of much nore decendant lyrics than THAT, though. Get past the flute. It doesn't appear throughout, or even on every song, though I presonally don't mind when it does.
