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?

No decent Aqualung huh?....bummer! Maybe it's time for them to revisit the studio on this one...afterall, it's a great piece of work. We are a bit giddy here after seeing that Tull will be performing at a Music Festival we go to each year!

You asked which ones to stay away from, but we state which ones we like. Guess we don't listen very well....
Mr. Anderson & the boys came out with a live Agualung CD a couple of years back. They did the whole album live for XM radio or some such. It is quite good to me. Some of the songs are identical and some are spruced up a smidgeon. Sound wise it is a great improvement. The Xmas album is one of my favorites sonically. I also agree on the Heavy Horses being a Tull masterpiece.
Good luck, John

Regarding the Aqualung cd.....I have read that a Capitol-EMI release was of decent sound quality(as compared to Chrysalis). I found 2 related to EMI...one is EMI UK and the other is Toshiba EMI from Japan. Are these 3 related/the same? Or maybe I guess I should probably just get my turntable fixed and play my old albums.
