Anyone who reviews Tull albums while wearing a Miles Davis shirt could literally be my best friend.
Yep. There’s no one like Pardo for sure
Thank you, Pete, for mentioning the new, Jethro Tull, release.
I definitely, want to add this to my collection.
🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Life is better with music.
Have heard this but wanting to add the anniversary Passion Play CD set with this so it can be in the personal library. Waiting on that price to come down to earth. But enjoyed your enthusiastic review of the LPs. Maybe that will come in a CD at some point as well. In any event, thanks for the review of this item, Pete. Great stuff for existing and future fans of Jethro Tull.
Some of those sets are finally getting reissued, that one hasn't been yet but I hope it does!
@@psychicvacuum555 thanks for that. I picked up three of the reissues recently and am hoping for Passion Play and Minstrel In The Gallery. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi John - yeh just waiting for Passion Play anniversary set to be reissued - if it ever does? also waiting on War Child reissue. I have everything else, but not paying the outrageous prices some people are asking. Cheers Doug
Elton John, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Magma and many others recorded here: in the early 1970s, Château d'Hérouville was the epicentre of pop and rock music in France. ;)
First no Pete hosting a show now an LP being featured on SoT. Maybe a ranking the albums of Ramones next??😂
Ha !!!! (But that would be cool)
He'll be reviewing the Ramones, Dead Kennedys, and many more on the debut episode of Pardo's Punk Parade. I think he announced it for April 1.
Funny how time changes opinions. I purposely skipped over "APP" and "MITG" when each was released. I didn't like this "change in direction " of JT music, though i enjoy their earlier releases. Nowadays, I absolutely love these two albums.
This release sounds very interesting to me. TY, Pete. 😊❤
Very cool thanks Pete I’m interested!
Great review Pete. I was on the fence about getting this but I think your review pushed me over! Thanks
I can't wait to get this one! Thanks for the review, Pete!
Great review!!! I have always loved the Chateau D'saster tapes more than A Passion Play. I felt like Chateau had more personality than A Passion Play.
Usually around the house I will play Nightcap...Chateau...A Passion Play ( 40th) and War child. Sometimes I wish they were all connected as a triple album or 3 cd set. It's really enjoyable to hear all three
For a moment Pete I thought it was your return to the vinyl realm. I got back into that medium mid-2020, right smack in the middle of the pandemic. I almost started chanting one of us, one of us, one of us. I'm definitely getting that vinyl (the curse is real!!!!😭!!!).
I also prefer these sessions to what ultimately became A Passion Play. I’m definitely picking this up
I will absolutely be playing this in the next hour or so
Question for Pete : does a reissue like this tempt you into getting a turntable ?
Nope. I already have this on CD in the APP box set.
@@seaoftranquilityproghaha, ditto 😊
PS listen to it frequently in my car ❤️
There's also very little flute on A Passion Play. It's almost entirely soprano saxophone that's featured apart from the closing moments on the album where the flute appears.
Hi Pete ! Nice unboxing / overview. I have the Steven Wilson ‘Extended Performance’ set, and I still want to buy this because it’s the first time this material has been released as a canonical album.
Also I thought I should mention, there is one small difference between this release and the CD / DVD boxed set that I’m sure is getting past a lot of folks because it’s an unpopular song. “The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles” is a new 2024 mix which replaces Dee Palmer’s orchestrations with Anderson on acoustic guitar from the 72 sessions. As a diehard Tull collector of ‘everything’ this is really interesting to me and I’m likely buying this on the strength of that outtake. Anyway, have a nice day - keep up the good work. 😊
I feel the same. I love A Passion Play, but when I bought Nightcap, it raised my eyebrows and I love those songs even better.
i agree.
Wowowowowo🎉❤❤
I'm totally with you, I love the Nightcap mixes, and it would've been absolutely epic if this had the overdubbed flute on it (also, Wilson's mixes are not always as good as he's advertised, e.g. Hawkwind's Warrior album). Still, anything that has Jeffrey Hammond on it is automately epic :D
They should also release it on CD.
Already done. This is just lp-only post release.
@@mikelenox7999 Only if you buy A Passion Play An Extended Performance. I don't want to buy the boxset. I've got two copies of A Passion Play. I need this one CD with those disastrous sessions.
@@mikelenox7999 Only if you buy A Passion Play An Extended Performance. I don't want to buy the boxset. I've got two copies of A Passion Play, I just want this one CD with the disastrous sessions. They should at least repress Nightcap.
will there be a cd version anytime soon? thanks much
I highly doubt it...hopefully they reissue the APP box set so folks who weren't able to get this on CD the first time can do so at a reasonable price.
I've always liked the recorded sound on Nightcap's Chateau stuff better than the released Passion Play.
Have to agree with you, I like the Chateau material better than Passion Play. And I also agree with you that both the version from the 20 Years boxset and the Passion Play boxset have their own things to love about them. I remember getting the 20 Years boxset as a birthday present when I was in High School and just loving and especially loving the Chateau material. It was definitely like getting a whole new JT album.
Pete, idea for a future show (if it hasn't already been done) -- albums that you inexplicably don't own by bands you love. You mentioning War Child made me think of this, I was a huge fan after TAAB and Passion Play but never bought War Child and I can't say why. Another would be Exit Stage Left from Rush.
Probably wouldn't have much to talk about...most bands I love I'm a completist on, and own everything. Save for the 2 Ripper albums from Judas Priest and the 2 Blayze albums by Maiden.
I`ve been wanting to pick up "Nightcap", but it seems hard to find at a reasonable price.
Jack Johnson tee!
What are you thinking about RökFlöte now that it's been out for a year.
I find I cannot stop listening to it I'm liking it more and more.
I've got Nightcap and the 20th Anniversary boxed set versions, but not the Passion Play boxed set. So still on the fence about this.
I have the Nightcap C D and I think that’s enough for me and I like it way more than APP. Easily one of Tulls best IMO
Get a record player Pete - you're missing out there are plenty of great LP's not issued in any other way including jazz records and some modern issues. It's always get to hear, and peruse, music in this format because I think it, ultimately, is the best all-round way of presenting music in an art form eg. Fabulous covers, readable, human-scale liner notes, the 20/20 minute track format and the sound, which - all told - despite what you say, is the best way to hear an LP. On the down side is the extra cost which may not always be feasible as a purchase, however, sometimes second-hand LP's maybe cheaper than hard to find, overpriced CD's. Recent purchases of mine on vinyl have been the Kansas epic 3 and 4 disc sets of live music, a long lost Isaac Guillory live album and a couple of the massively underrated Alain Markusfeld albums. You won't regret it!
Not gonna happen. For one, I don't think the 'quality' is all that much different, unless you plan on investing thousands of dollars on a great stereo, then there's the space to not only set up this system but house all of the albums. Not really interested.
Side III songs are killer.
Haven't heard this but I don't need to because A Passion Play is Jethro Tulls best album and not only that I rank it in top 2 of all progrockalbums.
Yes, it was unfinished hence lack of flute and indeed vocals on some tracks
Pete, is this the same mastering as the 40th box set, or did Wilson remaster it again for the LP?
This is a good album, it would have made a nice addition to the Tull cannon, but I don't think it is as good as A Passion Play. Everytime I listen to this album, I can't help but feel it lacks direction and one gets the sense that it musically and lyrically goes around in circles (although both the music and the lyrics are quite good). A Passion Play is much more focused, which appeals more to my taste. I listened to this again right after watching this segment, and still feel the same way, that an hour of music-- which is very good, don't get me wrong-- feels at least a half hour longer than it should, even with Steven Wilson in the driver's seat. I wonder if Ian ultimately felt the same way, and why he basically scrapped it for a Passion Play and scattered parts of it to the four winds, so to speak.
Thought you said you didn't have a turntable?
I don't...the label sent this to me to show it off. It's the same remix from the A Passion Play box set, only now released on double vinyl.
Very cool I'll be picking myself up a copy.👍
Thx again Pete. 4.5. No slouch 👍💯
A Passion Play is Tull’s finest album.
Time to pick up a turntable. A year later you will be moving into a new house. Vinyl is an addiction that can overtake all your square footage.
Won't be happening...
You bought VINYL???? :O :O :O
Watch the video...
The whole Chateau was a hole riddled with bed bugs, lice, dodgy food, red wine with flies, more trips to the Toilet than recording and technical difficulties, so they hopped it back to England after leaving for tax reasons.
The Chateau Disaster 😂😂
Why the hell does Steven Wilson think he can impose his judgment on things. Happy it’s out, not going to buy it.,I don’t care about Steven Wilson’s remix. He’s not the artist. This sh** has to end. He’s going to ruin every prog record. Stop him now please
