This was one of those low budget first albums that I just never connected with. Tull were an "older" band I had to catch up with after the fact. (I wasn't there in the period to "get it" first hand is what I'm trying to say.) Listening to this first album was more like checking it off the list of things to do. There was a clue right in front of me for a long time in the Top Of The Pops recordings...
You know where this is going...
Turns out there was a really strong enjoyable album in there this whole time! Just an excellent mix as SW has a reputation for. There was never any doubt there. But I'm surprised all the same as I didn't expect the new mix to bring this album into the JT family to this extent.
And of course now I can finally listen to Living In The Past from front to back in surround.
Heh yeah, this really does put those treble-y volume war Beatles remixes and the no-effort Moody Blues and Rush upmixes to shame.
If you didn't realize you were a fan of the first JT album, this remix will set you straight!
