Woah... great news, great pictures and (sure!) great tour. All seems to indicate this will be a IA year. .-)
Anyone already knows about Amazon link to purchase the deluxe 4 discs edition?
thanks, Franco

Ordered the bundle as well as the Switzerland vinyl set. Expensive month! Luckily the releases fall close enough to a birthday to warrant them bring treated as presents.

They do not specify how limited it might be. Depending on the number of copies produced it may mean it might not not surface on Amazon. However, on the other hand Amazon may list Burning Shed as one of their 'preferred sellers' and have negotiated a deal with them on a discounted cost, but unless Tull or Burning Shed specify what they mean by 'limited' and you might need to make a judgement on how much you want it, and then Burning Shed may be your best, if not only, option. Sorry I can't be more specific, but if I hear anything, I'll post it here as soon as possible.

I will defenetevely go for the deluxe edition; the only thing is they charge € 10 for shipping...; Amazon (if ever, as you mention..) would probably be cheaper. Think I cannot resist... let's wait for what will happen during the weekend on Amazon side... My guess is that IA have a proper market so... but, at the same time, if you think of the latest (masterpiece!) from FISH he started to sell it only via his own website and now (after many months) its available on Amazon too but only as the normal edition, not the deluxe with book edition.

Liking these snippets on here, getting a bit excited now. TAAB2 got me focused on my favourite music again, it looks like there's life in the old dog yet. If the musicians/band have been allowed to put a bit more fire in the recording we could have real winner.

I agree. I hope Scott plays with more energy and imagination. He was too robotic in TaaB 2. Sounded like a badly programmed drum machine...

Well I know I was one of the first 250. I got an email from Burning shed telling me I was..I do not think they are sending out emails to everyone to confirm that they are one of the first 250. They had difficulties process another order I submitted, and they confirmed it to me in that email.

Was too late for first 250, but still went with delux and vinyl and cd/dvd. Will pass delux to son when older as it will be his first gig I'm May ( only 7 yrs) . Will take it to show in B'ham and hope we can meet IA and get it signed .... you never know. Will play vinyl when it all arrives (keep for special occasions) and then stick to cd for continuous play. Will obviously listen to demo and chat from delux afterwards

Man this deluxe edition in very tempting.... however it's too expensive... for me to get it to Brasil it would could R$ 200,00. The Pound was way cheaper when I bought the Aqualung pack back in 2011. I hear ya. I pre-ordered the collector set today for about $75.00 because the way I see it, there aren't going to be many more IA/Tull releases. And it seems like there's enough value for the price. Besides, it's our responsibility to make sure Ian lives comfortably in his retirement years. Or at least that's what the last LP said when played backwards. Zinger of the day, thank you, I needed a chuckle today.

Oh, what the hell, didn't resist and got the deluxe pack. I already lost the TaaB vinyl set, which I still hope to get in the future. Couldn't let this pass.

So I'm writing here with regard to the potential lyrical content/direction of Erraticus. Despite Ian's particular focus on 'migration' in the Erraticus teaser, I'm thinking this may be but a thread of a broader central theme. Given the track titles and cover imagery, I'm getting a decidedly 'Warchild meets Stormwatch' feel about it. Whereas TAAB2 had a 'Too Old to R&R meets TAAB1' polished cerebral theater play feel about it (which I continue to find both interesting and compelling), Erraticus, by contrast, "feels" more visceral -- menacing, threatening and, well, dire: "Third Hoorah meets Flying Dutchman" sort of stuff, skating away on the thin ice of fate. This album has inspired me to re-read Chris Stringer's Homo Britannicus, which leaves me to speculate on possible intentional parallels between the two works. Take a peek, for example, at the Prologue (especially second paragraph thereof) to Britannicus here. Perhaps Erraticus is to be a visceral "Tull" twist (steady on... I use 'Tull' as a referent here given the cross-references to earlier Tull works above, recognizing, of course, that this is an 'Anderson' project ) on Britain's archaeological past, with dire warnings of what inevitable climate change may ultimately hold for humanity worldwide. Now there's an uplifting start to your day! But very Anderson if not Tull-like, nonetheless. Apropos of this, the timing of the release is conveniently coincidental with the new ' Britain: One Million Years of the Human Story' display at London's Natural History Museum, which builds on Stringer's (et al.) AHOB project, which is essentially an archaeological/historical tale of countless human dispersals across the British Isles in the face of recurrent unimaginable shifts in global climate, with potential scenario-lessons for our species' current and future dispersals which, as I'm speculatively fantasizing, is essentially Homo Erraticus. And not at all atypical of Ian Anderson.

We Americans are probably best buying it from them to ensure we get it promptly.

Yes, although per my post from 2/21 or thereabouts, I do wish marketing would also dribble forth some lyrical teasers. I remain, as always, as interested in lyrical content as I am musical; yet, in such marketing campaigns as this there seems to be scant attention paid to the lyrical component, which in many respects drives the music. Hey marketing... a bone perhaps?
