Reissues of interest.

I can't find Fairport chat thread so  here is a question for Fairport scholars.

The Quiet Joys  of Brotherhood-  the new boxed set of  80s Cropredy stuff.

Is any or all  of this out already?

I have a  Cropredy Capers box (still sealed, in fact)  and Unconventional box and don't want to rebuy stuff i already have.

Thanks folks.

It's just a straight cheapo reissue of this, from 2004, isn't it? https://www.discogs.com/release/6487011-Fairport-Convention-The-Quiet-Joys-Of-Brotherhood-Live-At-The-Cropredy-Festivals-1986-And-1987

Which in itself is a reissue of the (from memory) The Other Boot/Third Leg cassette sets.

And which has been remastered and remodelled on the It All Came Round Again box....

Isn’t that the same box that came out in 2004? Cropredys 86 and 87 and a DVD?

It's been out before yes.

A bit confusing-  a quick check tells me it was in 2 versios- 2CD + DVD,   and 4CD.

The latter would be of  interest to me as i don't do DVD.

Fair to middling.  Much cleaner (remastered) on the recent box, although there were some complaints about the remastering by one or two on here at the time.  The 2004 one is available for a fiver or so, so I wouldn't fork out much more.  I've probably got one I can send you tbh...drop me a line.

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.
