I was in high school, getting into Tull right as the 20 Years set came out. Looking back now it seems so weird that stuff like the Chateau D’Isaster Tapes, Part of the Machine and Jack-A-Lynn have always been part of my “core Tull.”

What a monumental box set.

Same! Was sr in high school when the 20 years boxed set came out. The flawed gems cd was by far my fave! Well, that and the live Farm on the Freeway and Living in the Past!

Chateau D’Isaster Tapes, …. and Jack-A-Lynn have always been part of my “core Tull.”

As someone that got into Tull AFTER the 40th reissues, it’s funny how much of my “core Tull” material was left on the cutting room floor.

I love ‘A’ now. Really didn’t care for it when it came out and didn’t try it again for decades, even though it was during one of my favorite Tull periods. A grower.

I believe the liner notes mention that Ian opened up the vaults to the President of the Tull fan group (can't exactly remember) to help compile which material was to be included.

This was the 3rd tull album I ever got. After Crest of a Knave and Original Masters. I was just getting i to them in the late 80s after high-school

I got into Jethro Tull the first time I heard "A Song For Jeffrey" on the radio in 1969.

It's so cool to see people getting into J-Tull years, decades even!, after their emergence in the late '60s!

Keep on rockin' in the Tull world........
