Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood: 40th Anniversary Edition 3 x CDs + 2 x DVDs (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only)
SKU
28-RPLH561773.2
One of the great ones in Tull's catalog, this marked a obvious shift towards a more 'folk' sound and is still a delightful listen, 40 years later.
"The first disc of the set contains the Steven Wilson remix of the original studio album, accompanied by associated recordings. These include the tracks Old Aces Die Hard and Working John, Working Joe (released for the first time on any format).
CDs 2 and 3 in the box comprise 22 live tracks, recorded on the Songs From The Wood Tour across two dates, Boston Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA on 6th December 1977 and Capital Centre, Landover, Maryland, USA on 21st November 1977. These tracks have been reconstructed as a complete set and then remixed to stereo by Jakko Jakszyk.
DVD 1 (ntsc, region 0) contains 5.1 DTS, AC3 Dolby Digital Stereo Surround and 96/24 LPCM stereo versions of the original and Steven Wilson remixed album along with selected associated tracks (as well as various quad mixes and flat transfers).
The final disc in the package is the video footage taken live at the Capital Centre, Landover, Maryland on 21st November 1977 mixed to 16/48 stereo LPCM and 5.1 DTS, AC3 Dolby Digital surround by Jakko Jakszyk. The video footage comes directly from the film that was played to the big screens in the venue during the show and has since been seen nowhere else.
Completing the set is a beautiful 96 page book, which contains images galore plus extensive writing on the history of the album. Martin Webb reflects on the writing, recording and touring of the album, while Ian Anderson gives a track by track annotation of the album and associated recordings."
