Synopsis

Album Details
"a" Started as a Solo Project for Ian Anderson but was Eventually Released as Jethro Tull for Commercial Reasons. "a" was the First Tull Record Not to Feature Anderson's Acoustic Guitar, Yet They Achieved a Far Mroe Balanced Sound Than Previous Tull Records Creating a More Stripped Down Hard Folk-rock Sound, and Moving Tull Into the Art-rock Genre. "a" was the First Step Into a More Hard Edged Electronic Sound and is Said to Be More Reflective Than Much of Tull's Earlier Work with Tracks Such as the Awe-inspiring "Black Sunday" Considered One of Tull's Greatest Moments.
 

CD Reviews

Be aware--wrong DVD format for Americans & Canadians
Mark A. Trauernicht | Alexandria, VA United States | 03/08/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Since this is a UK release, the video format for the included "Slipstream" DVD will be in PAL, the format used in Great Britain, NOT the American/Canadian format (which is NTSC/Region 1). Bottom line: the UK-verion DVD will not play on American or Canadian DVD players.But not to worry...it looks like the "street date" for A with the US (NTSC/Region 1 compatible) version of bonus DVD will be April 20, 2004."
BETTER...BUT STILL NOT PERFECT!!!!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"While this version of "A" is a vast improvement over the original CD the vocals still sound very compressed which is a disappointment. I'm surprised of this considering on all of the other Tull remasters they are very clear."
