40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER


The 40th anniversary collectors edition, which includes a 180 gram LP and the new remixed album a bunch of extra tracks and everything in 24/96 HiRes on DVD and Bluray., plus the Quad mixes and 5.1... sound quality is amazing even the Redbook is very very impressive and it's the best version of Aqualung I've ever heard even bettering the superb DCC version.. Kudo's to Ian Anderson and Steve Wilson for the remix.. next up is Thick as a Brick...

from a vinyl standpoint, nothing beats Classic Record's release on Clarity vinyl at 45 rpm. This is my opinon of course. YMMV
The three large internet sellers of vinyl only sell items for list price or more. If the item is not selling and they have too many of them then they discount. Or better yet they wait for it to go out of print then sell it for 5 times the list price.
If you have local record stores or want to deal with amozon and thier awfull shipping practices then you can get vinyl for a decent price.
I have always had phenomenal luck with Amazon's shipping. I buy lots of stuff through them and everything has shown up well packaged and in tip-top shape. I have probably 10 LPs on the way from them right now.
received my 2 cd yesterday,will play this weekend.really looking forward to play Steve Wilson`s(Grace for Drowning)

All I can say about the CD is if this is the best they can do, then the original was crap indeed. What a pity as this could be one of my favorites. And u can't blame the sound on age the Beatles and many other bands even recorded earlier can sound great even today. Just another case of the producer didn't know how to or couldn't care less about what it sounded like. I would bet that the lp, Bluray, DVD, etc. all sound about the same. I used to own the original lp, but I think it got trashed long ago to bad as I'd like to hear what it sounded like. I guess I may be a little harsh but I'm comparing this version to a recently remastered CD, and yes the new one is better, but not by much. Oh well, another $20.00 down the hole. . .
Should have known better!
