Tull reissues seem a step above other bands. As noted, not the original album but a great listen in its own right. Quiet and dynamic. Thumbs up.

This is a very unique and rare recording (by any artist, not just Tull). As explained above, this was a necessary Re-recording of the entire album for a UK TV broadcast! Because it was done in the same year as the original album release, it was still their current recording and scheduled tour mindset and well rehearsed for immediate performance!
Thus, it is a virtual "Alternate Take" of the Entire album! To me, the band's performance here is actually a bit more spirited than the original release and is slightly different (in solos, and instrumental fills mostly). I actually like this version better than the original in overall feel, performance and sound quality!
A rare and essential recording for any Tull fan!
Released on a limited RSD 40th anniversary vinyl and a general 40th Anniversary multiple CD/DVD box set!

fantastic sounding press.
As it's the "Television soundtrack" version this was re-recorded by the band specifically for the television special, and there are
differences from the original recording in both sound and performance. I prefer this mix and performance, it sounds amazing and Steven Wilson did an amazing job on the mix.
Get this.

I really wish this one would be re-released.
The album that defined my musical preferences.

I appear to have this press, but side 2 has label for Gentle Giant-In’terview, and the record was actually in the jacket for In’terview. Very strange error.

Есть такая пластинка, на вид идеальная, но звучит глухо и невыразительно, прибавлять громкость приходится. У кого есть такая копия, какой у вас звук?

Nothing to really say, the pressing of course is great, the mixing is top notch, and the presentation is great too!

Anyone happen to have a spare loose LP for this or a similar Canadian version of this album? Found a loose LP sleeve and I'd love an LP to go with it. Thanks!

Tull fans usually tout this album as one of Ian's weakest efforts and there seem to be many a reason to jump on that bandwagon. Poor recording, for one. Steven Wilson's remix comes off as a more rewarding experience, making tracks shine like they should have from the get-go. However, for comparisons to be more on the safe side with the original presentation, one should turn to a different mastering for a fair comparison. This 1980 Spanish pressing can boast of all things the UK lacks. It is punchy, clear, loud and shows you how this album is perfectly enjoyable, with standouts such as the masterful acoustic "Salamander" or "From a Dead Beat to an old Greaser" with its jazz-brimmed atmosphere. Give this copy a chance
