For fans of this wonderful band the news of more Tull remasters coming out is certainly great news. Apparently the release date for all of the above is May 20.

I'm definitely getting at least Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses (when my wallet allows it).

In any case, there don't really seem to be any general discussions about Tull. I think these minstrels in the gallery are worthy of one.

crap! i just got wood and horses on cd, unknowingly! grrrrrrr. i hate it when that happens.

actually, while i'm at it, i might ask this: is Passion a very good album? i'm considering picking a copy up, but i'd like to hear what others think first.

How soon till "A" is re-released?

Since about 2 years ago, I dropped $40 to get me a copy on eBay.

But isn't it readily available in bargain basement bins? At least over here it is.

(I've never heard "Passion" myself.)

hmm, sorry that i didn't use the entire title. i was referring to A Passion Play

I know!

Is "A" any good? It's the only studio album I don't have. I can't stand "Under Wraps" but like "Broadsword" -- which is "A" closer to?

A passion play really had to grow on me before I started to like it, now it's one of my favorites.

For those who didn't follow the link, these remasters come with some bonuses:

A Passion Play: CD-ROM video of the "Story of the Hare..."
Songs from the wood: "Beltane" and a Live "Velvet Green"
Heavy Horses: "Broadford Bazaar" and "Living In These Hard Times"

I don't really care about the video of "Hare," and won't be replacing my current "Passion Play" disc (I've got the gold remaster).

The only one of these I'll get is "Horses," because mine is scratched and needs replacing anyway.
