Sean....Jethro Tull's early work with the exception of 'Benefit' has all been remastered on vinyl at least once. 'This Was' is available from EMI and is an excellent recording. I bought this album when it first came out and still consider it to be one of the best. 'Stand Up' has also been remastered by EMI and sounds very good. 'Benefit' is compressed sounding although hardly offensive. Perhaps it would benefit (had to say it!) from a remaster. 'Aqualung' was a disappointing recording to begin with (bright and lacking bottom end), but it has been remastered by both MFSL and DCC. 'Thick As A Brick' is an excellent recording and has been remastered twice. I have the EMI version and am not sure who did the other one (MFSL?), but it is out of print. IMHO Jethro Tull went rapidly down hill beginning with 'Passion Play' and never recovered. So I can't comment on their later work. With the exception of Aqualung and possibly Benefit I would hardly say their early work sounded like junk (far from it), which makes me wonder what LPs you are listening to (hopefully not the CDs considering your comments)and what you are using for a source.
Tsugury...Tony Williams Lifetime 'Believe It' was released on CD several years ago with 'Million Dollar Legs' on a single CD by Columbia Legacy titled 'Tony Williams Lifetime - The Collection.' It was a 1992 release and you should be able to find a used copy if you look. Don't know if it's still available new. Great music though.....
