We also have Rock Island on AM Rick. I agree that's a weaker effort, but it's OK, and I owned it so I added it.

Nightcap I'm ashamed to say I'm not familiar with. 20th Anniversary I thought was a compilation - no? Broadsword would definitely be the next Tull I would add to the station
Hey Rock Island won the best heavy metal grammy so why not?

Broadsword, very nice. Catfish Rising would also be nice.

The 20th Century is a mix of unreleased, alternate versions, live, and repeated songs. There are about 20 unreleased songs, all very good, some I don't know how they were left off the records. Disc 1 and 2 contain these tracks. The third disc is mostly repeats, but some versions are alternate. If you can get the first two discs w/o the third, it's worth it. Some of the tunes like "Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow" and "Down at the End Of Your Road" are better than a lot of their studio cuts. And most of the unreleased stuff came from the Vetesse period, so there is a lot of nice keyboard work. There's also about 11 minutes of the "Chateau D'Isaster Tapes", which are demos from Passion Play. They rock, a lot more than the finished product!

Nightcap is 2 cd's, with all unreleased. These tunes are some from the mid 70's, a few more Jobson/Vetesse period, and quite a few late 80's. It's really solid. The first disc is the complete unreleased tunes from the Chateau tapes, all really great (contains the 11 minute portion + a bunch of other tunes). Disc are the other cuts.
