are there any tull fans who are dissapointed that a few tracks were not used as bonus tracks on the remasters. life is a long song,up the pool,dr bogenbroom and nursie could of been added to aqualung.motoreyes added to broadsword and coronach added to crest of a knave. Hello, mate, and welcome to our cyberspot, The problem with Aqualung is that it wasn't remastered as part of the most recent series. The '96 remaster (this series didn't start 'til '01) is a heap of poo-poo but it wasn't done again because of it. What may have been included on a new remaster is, I'm afraid, just conjecture. Before it was released, there was a discussion about what should be included on the BatB remaster on the now defunct official board and the general concensus was that it'd need to be a double CD! As it was, 8 bonus tracks, effectively doubling its length, earned a B+ for effort, in my book. The greatest travesty of omission, imo, is the absence of Hardliner from the RI remaster. Cheers, Jioffe.

It's hard for me to believe that Hardliner wasn't included on the album. IMO it is a great song that stands up as one of the best from the perioid along with Whaler's Dues and Strange Avenues.

I couldn't beleive they stuck some live acoustic tracks on RI - which were completely out of context on the album - instead of Hardliner. Same happened with Catfish Rising. What on Earth is Jump Start doing there?
The tracks which featured on Nightcap seem to have been totally ignored for the later albums (and yet other tracks off Nightcap appeared on the earlier remasters of Warchild etc). Odd.
