Jethro Tull - Original Album Series


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A great box




This is an excellent box of five of Jethro Tull's albums from the post-Aqualung/Thick As A Brick era.  In my view, they never quite hit the magnificent heights of those two albums again, but they were a very, very good band all the same and these five are all well worth having – especially for those of us who remember them first time around, still have our old, scratchy vinyl LPs and want CD versions as well. 


The five albums are:
Songs From The Wood (1977)
Heavy Horses (1978)
Stormwatch (1979)
A (1980)
The Broadsword & The Beast (1982).
They are all in remastered versions from 2005 and sound very good to my ears.  No-one, thank heavens, has messed with the originals and added "bonus material" – you just get the albums as they were intended.  The packaging is adequate, too, so if you want some really good Tull at an exceptionally low price for five albums just snap this up.  It's a great box.
