Slaves to the Tull: I agree with Plan9 (Mastering Engineer) I hope to see his real name on the latest. His sixth (project) time should be a charm. READ: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/jethro-tull-minstrel-in-the-gallery-expanded-april-2015.411275/page-10#post-12123459This album, like almost all the remixed Tulls, is transformed. It was the first album to be recorded with the Maison Rouge mobile studio... there were always problems with the original mix. It now sounds much better! - Plan9 Risky, I know. - I'll put Minstrel in the Gallery with Benefit in a tie for best in the deeeeeeeluxe sets. 5.1 & quad fans should be pleased. - tootull CHEERS!

What does it sound like?: Bargepole / 30.04.2015What does it all *mean*?
As with the Passion Play and War Child rereleases, this album has really benefitted from being remixed and now has a less compressed sound – there seems to be more space between the various instruments and the different layers of sound are crystal clear.
Goes well with…
If you are a Tull fan, then this is yet another compulsory purchase – one of their classic period albums is now rendered even better! A very worthy addition to the band’s catalogue of reissues.

Nothing today...still waiting for Minstrel period to start...hate when it is late. I know I said this before but watching the preview video...am i the only on annoyed that Jeffrey does his to and fro dance and in 8 minutes totes up more stage miles than Wyman and Entwhistle in their combined careers? I mean, if he wasn't the best, most instinctive, natural musician anyway, why didn't he focus on fingers and frets more and jazzercise less? Huh ?

A classic that leaves no wish unfulfilled - Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery - The 40th Anniversary Edition La Grande05.04.2015 | 09:58 A classic that leaves no wish unfulfilled After last "Warchild" and "A Passion Play" by Jethro Tull were re-released in luxury versions, is now the 1975 album "Minstrel In The Gallery" on the series. As with its predecessors, the fan can expect a great up canned book with a total of four disks and 80 page booklet. On the CD there is a new stereo mix of the original album from Steven Wilson and a complete show from 1975, recorded in Paris and remixed by KING CRIMSON guitarist Jaakko Jakszyk, the DVDs contain the usual 5.1 mix and the original LP and quad mix of studio album, and a short film and a 5.1 version of the concert. The book has once again a lot of pictures, a tour schedule, memories of band leader Ian Anderson and other witnesses, so again not a fan of Jethro Tull is likely to be disappointed. But now the music in detail. "Minstrel In The Gallery" shows Jethro Tull after the sweeping progressive rock excesses of "Thick As A Brick", "A Passion Play" and the orchestral bombast of "Warchild" concerning the sound compact again. Folk and Baroque are more present in the compositions and the guitars have regained a more dominant role in the overall sound. Already with the title song, the fantastic 'Cold Wind To Valhalla' and the dreamy 'Black Satin Dancer' sets the album Los outstanding. In these three songs put everything Tull today makes it an exception in the rock music: Great melodies, instrumental brilliance, lyrical wit and a unique, English atmosphere. It continues with considerably more playful compositions, then clearly look back in the 'Baker St. Muse' pieces on "A Passion Play" times. Here the band is again progressive, short sections of different types are woven into a larger whole. With 'Grace', the regular album is decided, but there are still a number of bonus tracks, most of which are previously unreleased alternative versions of popular hits are Tull. On the second CD a great time document is represented by the concert of Paris. Jethro Tull here presents itself in excellent form, hits the mark 'Wind Up' stand alongside pieces from the complex "A Passion Play", which with the great 'Critique Oblique', 'Bungle In The Jungle' and 'Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day is represented '. The classic 'My God' and 'Locomotive Breath' be extended to each medleys, in which a very playful band at their best shows and makes improvisations and solos for enthusiasm. Is also time for announcements and humorous interludes and so I can only ascertain that this concert would be reason alone enough to buy the rerelease. But along with the exemplary presentation, the wealth of information, images and text, and the successful remix applies to "Minstrel In The Gallery" which was already on the last luxury editions of Jethro Tull: A must-have for all fans of the band and another monument Aler for one of the most extraordinary and best rock bands times.

I just purchased the new Minstrel Grande Edition from Amazon and read the first and only review which focuses on only one thing...that the Paris concert sounds .....awful.
The reviewer, like many of us, has the 1993 box set that contains the Passion Play extract from that concert and claims it sounds far superior to the disc containing the Paris concert on this new box set. This is very disappointing to me personally - I've been on cloud nine since it was announced several months ago that the concert would be released. I'm hoping that either the reviewer is really picky and it actually sounds good, or that somehow he received a defective version. But I am sad about this!
It seems the promise of a great quality Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond-Hammond era Tull concert recording was too good to be true.

My first impressions: THIS IS AMAZING. The 1975 CD is one of the best live Tull releases ever...peal band, peak material. Barlow and Evan really remind you how great they were...Notice how barlow makes 'Cross Eyed Mary' his from the first note. Wind Up remains the coolest opener ever...like all time stopped and Tull starts where they left us at end of last tour...brilliant. The flute solo in 'My God' is so deep Tull, The Wondering Aloud is perfection.

Hello everyone! I featured Tull's new "Minstrel in the Gallery" boxed set on my radio show this week. In addition to the complete "Baker Street Muse", I also played about 25 minutes from the Paris set! You can also hear some rare live Van der Graaf Generator from 1971, Zappa, Gong, Quiet Sun and more! Enjoy! www.mixcloud.com/progrockdeepcuts/prog-rock-deep-cuts-73/

Thank you for this! does anyone else get the feeling that the Paris 1975 concert is being prepared for DVD release? Maybe once the Minstrel box set has run its course? Of all the albums and DVDs released over Tull's long and colorful history, I think the Paris concert on DVD would rate very near the top of the pile.
