This and three other Jethro Tull albums are being re pressed and are able to pre order at Burning Shed. Get them before they go OOP again! -
i just got a beautiful coy of this today, great sounding discs, awesome booklet & disc #2 has a lot of great recordings i never heard before, i do agree these have got very expensive!!!!! glad i copy in nm condition, the dvd surround sound is fantastic and the bit of 1973 footage shown is great to see...... great release..........
-
This is yet another definitive release of a somewhat underwhelming 1970s Jethro Tull release. It is now out of print like most of these “book” Tull editions and has greatly escalated in price. If you have to have it, you will need to pay through the nose from a reseller, as it will never be rereleased per Ian Anderson.
At this time, it is more of a collectible or an investment vehicle than an essential listening experience. With the stock market and bitcoin crashing, this ion Play book edition might be the place to put your retirement money.
