No, unfortunately. I asked in Head in Bristol and they all ran around saying "Oh Yes!" but when they actually looked it up it was "oh NO!"

It's out there on vinyl...don't have a link though..

Here is a link to an interview with Anderson where he talks about cutting the vinyl master and says it is due to be released 'later this year'

Thank God! I thought I'd missed it!

I was sure it was already out on vinyl..seems it isn't ...would be a good album to own on the black stuff.

Oh, my bad! I should have added that it should be out on vinyl later this year. I am a bit of a Tull fan even though Ian Anderson has acted like a prick on a few occassions with fans. I wont buy it on CD but will be buying it on vinyl when it surfaces.

They always do a good, long show though. Seen em twice and it went over 3 hours both times. 1990 and 1994 at the Vicy Hall in Hanley. At the 1990 gig some bloke in the bogs told me proudly that he had last seen them when they had last played the same venue in 1972. At the time I was a student (I had a Final exam the next day as well IIRC) and I marvelled at this void of time, 18 years ago might as well have been 180 years ago. Now of course it is over 20 years on from the 1990 gig. If they ever come back to the Viccy then I will have to go along and tell some youth next to me at the urinal: 'I saw these the last time they played here - in 1994!' - Doesn't Tempis Fugit?

Despite the vinyl being cut from the 24 bit masters?

I like the comment about the "Techniques" turntable, SME arm and V15 cartridge ;)

Agreed super band live I have seen them three times :)

TAAB 2 is actually an Ian Anderson solo album with a new backing band that played on the record and at the concerts. It really is a good album and a great show.

[Wakefield Turntables]

I have since heard said album, and can confirm that Ian Anderson and chums will be recovering some of my hard earned. :)
