The day might dictate the order, but the my top five are:

This Was
Stand Up
Songs From The Wood
Stormwatch
Crest of a Knave

As a non-studio pick, I really enjoyed 20 Years of Jethro Tull.

The booksets have certainly given me an appreciation for albums I didn’t initially care for and I’m hoping the series runs through as many of the remaining albums as possible.
 
I am a musical byproduct of older brothers! I hated their stuff growing up then in the 80s little by little started buy lots of the same stuff! Two albums on my list were albums my brothers listened to a lot and the other three I discovered by becoming a bigger Tull fan than any of my brothers.

Auqalung
Thick as a Brick
A Passion Play
Songs From the Wood
Broadsword and the Beast

I have all of the book sets and love them all. However these are easily my top picks from simply how much I played them!

I was super bummed when it got bumped from last year to this year! Knowing we are getting close is very exciting! I have the 20 year box from the 80s and loved all the unreleased stuff from Broadsword! Honestly I personally could stop buying the book sets after this and be ok musically! My ocd would probably not allow me to not complete the series though. I’m sure no one here understands that😀

Broadsword has been a real Beastie delayed book-set. Final product isn't always the same as the preview I get. I have a collection of glitches to play over and over from other sets. A Small Cigar wins. ;) Broadsword might be the first album without a sound glitch found by me. I always want better menus, adjustments. Stay tuned for more. Pencil in September for Broadsword.

tea cheers

Great list. Knave first is cool.

But the bite goes wide.

Awesome! I love how that sounds. I've never heard that album at all! I'll be psyched for this one in surround.
We can't talk Tull through American football. :LOL: You will feel like the Bears won the Super Bowl in quad.
