Description
Mint condition. Like new. Vinyl only played once. CD/DVD/Blue Ray never played.
This commemorative collector's edition box set celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Jethro Tull's seminal 1971 album Aqualung. Now, 40 years after its release, this prized recording gets a collection worthy of its historic status.
The limited collector's edition includes: 180g heavyweight LP, 2CD, DVD and Blu-Ray including various unreleased materials; a new stereo mix, the original Quad mix, 5.1 DTS and Dolby Digital Surround; 12" x 12" 48-page hardback book featuring liner notes and an interview with Ian, Q&A with engineer John Burns, memoirs from band members and Jennie Franks (Ian's first wife who wrote the lyrics for the title track), rare photos and notes on the new mixes by producer Steven Wilson and much more.
"Well it's finally here! The superb remixes by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson in both stereo and 5.1 Surround. Plus the re-mastered original mixes, bonus tracks, alternative versions and takes of the classic Aqualung material from 40 years ago. When I wrote and recorded these songs and slaved over a hot audio-mixer in Island Records' Basing Street Studios, I never thought we we would be celebrating this 40th Anniversary release, soon to be released in October. But you can't keep a good song down. Many of these are still favourites on stage today in our concerts throughout the world." - Ian Anderson
