Select three Tull albums you think demonstrate the greatest audio engineering accomplishment from Tull and their studio recording teams over the years.
Some things to listen for: 1) clear overall definition and separation of instruments/vocals in the mix 2) rich tonal quality throughout 3) excellent balance of volume with instruments/vocals; everything's available to the ear, things aren't smothered out by instrument volume oversight in the mixing stage 4) use of reverb or sound effects handled expertly 5) no excess compression noticeable; sounds naturally spacious, all considered 6) disregard tape hiss on albums, as that was often a technological limit that Tull would have no control over.

OK I'm up for this. Maybe we can eventually come up with the best sounding Jethro Tull or Ian Anderson album, regardless as to whether it is the firm favourite of everybody.
My initial nominations are:
#1: Passion Play - 1998 MFSL release #2: Benefit - 2001 Chrysalis remix #3: Crest Of A Knave - 2005 remix

The overall sound of Crest of a Knave is triumphant compared to the previous three studio releases. Also, it sounds better than Roll With It, by Stevie Winwood (who won the grammy for Best Engineered Recording). I suspect it's because Winwood is much more appreciated and socially accepted than Tull. Instead of giving them the best heavy metal performance, they could have given the best engineered recording, instead.
