My copy of Jethro Tull's Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition arrived yesterday. It has been some years since I have heard either Under Wraps or Fly By Night, so I'm taking a listen and finding I do still enjoy them. They are quite different from much of what went before, and Under Wraps was definitely 'marmite' for many JT fans. Like all of the boxsets, it is a lovely job, with a lot of information about the albums, interviews with Ian Anderson, Peggy, Martin Barre and others aboutt he making of, etc. Each album is presented with the original programmed drums and with updated drum programming (apparently they thought about getting a real drummer in to redo them, but it didn't work). And there's a live BBC recording from Hammy Odeon (the day after the one recorded on London Fields), and a Bluray with all the music in 5.1 and a couple of videos. I'm hoping that Crest of a Knave will be the next one out, and then I think I'll have all I want - JT wise, anyway! - to the relief of my wallet! But these Tull boxsets really are pretty much the gold standard for presentation at a pretty reasonable price, compared to what some people ask for sets with much less quantity or information. I sometimes think I'm the only Tull fan in the world who loves Under Wraps... I thought the remix was excellent. j-tull.com is out in August, but it's on a different label to the Chrysalis albums (Probably the same album the Xmas album box came out on.) Bruce Soord has done the remix. Loves might be a bit strong, but I don't have the same reaction against it that many Tull fans seem to have. I am enjoying the new version too. |

I was planning to see Martin Barre, with Clive Bunker and Dee Palmer, in Houston in 2020. The tour was postponed for obvious reasons, and when it resumed in 2022, Dee had stepped away. I’m sad at her passing but envious of her long and productive life. |

Dave Greenslade has died. :-( I do like a bit of Greenslade. This is sad. I've always liked Greenslade. First saw them live around 1974, then in 2001 I think. |

For cassette fetishists: A cassette reissue of Karen Dalton's In My Own Time. It's expanded etc but at over £40 this seems rather steep. Everyone looks at David.  Jules I've managed to get one a lot cheaper than that. There's also an 8-track! New? Please tell me where. Think I may have got the last UK based one...not sure. But, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226936443565?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23903450875&gbraid=0AAAAAB_7XZypSts0giU11wUOReJaJ-LuX&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338723872&toolid=20006&customid=yWjwL5ctAAAAvCKKw8e3ohKFEGJ3AAAAAA&loc_physical_ms=1006626 |

 RIP Dennis Locorriere June 13th 1949 - May 16th 2026. Members of this forum will remember Dennis' appearances at Cropredy. I wasn't there in 2012, but I remember his set in 2003. A bit of a wild card booking, nobody really knew what to expect, but he surprised a lot of people and was very well received. Oh, when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s Dr Hook were the most played album in the car on long journeys. Me and my sisters used to sing along to silly songs. Years later, I saw Dennis a couple of times solo at Bedworth Civic Hall, and then a few years ago as 'Dr Hook' in Birmingham Symphony Hall. He looked and sounded fabulous and it was an absolutely brilliant gig (Jon Poole from the Cardiacs was his bass player!). They did some brilliant songs. "Freaker's Ball" and "Rolling Stone" are absolute classics |

Barry Dransfield's album is one of those l never grow tired of. 'Broken Barricades' leaves me vulnerable and exhausted. |
