40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER

After reading the postings here I had to see for myself. So, I went out and bought my own copy of the double CD (which includes the bonus tracks). I am amazed that an album I have heard hundreds of times could be transformed into something completely new. Well worth the $25 I spent! Don't think twice...you might miss it. Buy it, it's worth the money!!

Agreed, I've been listening to this since 1971 & it sounds
amazing to me. Some day I might spring for the Box set but I have a mint copy of the vinyl already so I'll wait for a better price, plus I'm not as big a fan (of Tull) as I used to be. I want to hear the Blu-Ray though.

I wonder how the Blu Ray compares sonicallly to the CD remaster?

I got the new Deluxe set. As great as the CD is the new vinyl just kills it. Everything is just so clear, the bass & the drums are at a perfect level. Ian's vocals also sound so clear. I have a pristine 1973 copy of the LP which has no bass, it still sounds ok but no comparison. The only part that sounded better is the Aqualung solo, it seemed a little harsh on the new LP, that part gets louder & it seems the level is a little too high. it might sound better on a better setup than mine though.

I paid $99.99 for it local at Newbury Comics which really isn't that bad considering what you get. I looked at a few places & old MFSL or DCC copies are $3-400 & I doubt they are better than this.
