Jethro Tull...any cd's to stay away from?

I recently realized that while I have several lp's I don't have any cd's by Tull. Really like the early stuff. The difference between some originals and remastered material has also been a recent revelation to me and not looking to waste any $$ on cd's I'll not play more than once what and where would you look? What about the quality of the dvd concerts?

Do you have a multi-channel system? If so, I can recommend some DTS versions of their most popular albums that sound pretty good: Thick As A Brick, Standup, Benefit, and A Passion Play. Auqalung doesn't sound so good. Contact me offlist if you are interested...

The only ones I don't really care for are Too Old to Rock"n"Roll Too Young To Die, and perhaps Under Wraps even though there are a few good songs on it. Some of the later ones I find really good are Crest of A Knave, J-Tull Dot Com, The Christmas album etc.

Most of the early Jethro Tull albums were masterpieces (IMHO), including THIS WAS, BENEFIT, AQUALUNG, THICK AS A BRICK, LIVING IN THE PAST, TOO OLD TO ROCK AND ROLL-TOO YOUNG TO DIE. You will realize this after the first 100
listenings. I can't recall a bad CD. Save youself some expense and try one of the many greatest hits/compilation
albums.
