I'd be surprised if you have the copy being 'threaded' about Jack.

Even if you are a casual fan of this album, buy the 40th anniv edition. Bonus disc included. Steven Wilson remixed and Peter Mew remastered at Abbey Road and they hit this one out of the park!!
Saw Tull on their Aqualung tour back in 72, great show!! Also saw the Standup and Benefit shows in 70 and 71.

No I don't as I mentioned in thread #11, I have what I consider to be the best vinyl version. Bob mentions this version in post #13. I'd like to pick up the SACD if reasonally priced.

If you consider the vinyl out of sight (which it is), just get the anniversary CD disc set at BB or other outlet and call it quits. IMO, it alone is better than the MOFI vinyl. YMMV.

That must be some CD. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow at BB. I've been replacing my bad sounding CD with new ones when warranted.
