Jethro Tull TAAB1 & 2

Received mine from Burning Shed on saturday but not opened it yet.

Email received to say it was on its way to NY from BS. Assuming customs doesn't eat it, I should get it next week.

Really don't mind if I have to sit this one out though

I have my copy if the original, remastered. It is very well done. Lots of detail liberated but never feels forced or artificial. Sounds quite 'live' I think.

TAAB2 was not on my shopping list

I had a slip from the Post Office informing me they tried to deliver a package today. I'll pick it up tomorrow. I don't know if it's the JT album of one of the other LPs I've ordered recently. Anice little surprise awaits me tomorrow.

The nice little surprise turned out to be a nice 1st press copy of Santana Abraxas. I bought for £3.50 on ebay. But as I arrive home there was another docket from the postman saying there is another he tried to deliver. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning.

Steve,

Have you by chance ever had a listen to Abraxas columbia Half-speed master? I was thinking of trying one. You seem to know this record well- any opinions? Thanks!

I don't have a copy of the Columbia Half Speed Mastered but I hear it's very good. You don't see it on sale very often in the UK. I have 2 original copies on UK CBS and also a US copy of the Quadraphonic Columbia issue which has a slightly different mix with extra whoops and hollers. It's different but I prefer the conventional stereo issues. I've been warned off the MOFI reissue.

Thanks Steve. I do have the Quad pressing and I am not that keen on all of the "whoops and hollers" . I will get a Half Speed and let you know how it turns out. Looks like an original press is still the preferred. ATB.
