Songs from other CD's repackaged The music is good but I feel ripped off as I have Living with the past and A little light music already. Well if I had known I was just buying the same tracks from previous CD's, I'd have saved my money. Thanks Sony!.
jethro tull extended versions
These are available on many other albums. Considering I have a vast collection of Tull, this is not as advertised. Complete rip off.
The real Tull
All the great acoustic pieces under one roof. This is the best collection of Tull I have experienced. A must have for all true Tull fans. And even a bit of Ians' best from more recent days.
Budget Tull - Live
This one is no exception; eight of the CD's ten tracks are taken from 2002's "Living With The Past," which featured the line-up of Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Andrew Giddings, Jonathan Noyce, and Doane Perry. Anyone who has bought Sony/BMG's "Extended Versions" series of live classic rock recordings knows that most of these releases have been culled from previous CD releases. Two songs, "Cross-Eyed Mary" and "Thick as a Brick," appeared on the companion "Living in the Past" DVD, but not the CD and, for Tull fans, would be the primary reason for picking up this CD. Fans that are new to Jethro Tull or casual fans, looking to pick up live versions of some of the band's greatest hits, will likely enjoy this collection. The playing is first-rate and the recording is very good.
The "Extended Versions" series seems to have a cut-off number of 10 songs for each of its releases, meaning that there's less than an hour of music on this CD, and loses a star as a result. .
