    My favourite Tull album, what's wrong with the remaster that needs improvement?

    Including the extras, "One For John Gee" - "Christmas Song" - "Love Story".... Guessing multi-track masters for "Sunshine Day" may not still exist, if they ever did?

    SW is doing "This Was" but has no interest in doing "Foxtrot?" :confused: :wtf: :crazy:

    He does not really have an affinity for Genesis period. Where Tull's early album has a true blues / jazz organic roots to it. Like TYA's first album, the musicianship and band chemistry is apparent even at such an early stage. Oh never mind, I'm just rambling.

    @The Panda thanks for mentioning this; I didn't know. I just ordered the BBC sessions disc.

    I was only joking, genuinely sorry if I inspired excitement :oops: We can daydream such things might be in the vault, however....

    The original stereo mix stinks! It has already been remixed once, by the much-maligned Peter Mew. So a new remix by Steven Wilson would be most welcome.

    There are also several b-sides that have never been mixed to stereo, and I would imagine that they have multi-tracks for those, but who knows. If they do, they will most certainly be remixed for the first time.

    There are a number of 50th Anniversary ideas which Warners have been discussing with Ian Anderson, but nothing has yet been decided-but rest assured that the momentous milestone will be properly aknoledged. One project that does appera to have legs is a 50th anniversary re-release of This Was, hopefully remixed by Steven Wilson, which may well include some previously 1968 unreleased 1968 outakes- but psst, don´t tell anyone yet, OK?
    Word is that SW will continue with his remixes for a while yet- but that´s for 2019 onwards.

    Great news. I wonder if they will use the live 1966 John Evan Band. This CD was officially issued by Tull fanzine. Any sound improvement on that will be most welcome.

    This is all great news!
    But seriously.....
    I'm not a peter Mew fanboy either
    BUT his work on This Was was actually pretty good!
    The double disc set sounds great!
    Nice mix etc.
    What's wrong with it?
    I can't imagine it getting any better

    Different......but not better....

    I would like the "book" format though

    ESPECIALLY for Benefit!!
    (a personal favourite)

    Why didn't Benefit come in book form to start with?
    Why was this release different from the others?

  25. I agree. I guess getting This Was in the book format will be nice, and as a completest I will buy it, but I cant really get excited about a 4.0 mix from a 4 track recording. The stereo mix that Peter Mew created was fine and solved the issue of lost fidelity on various bounces, so why would I need another mix?
