'''''25th Anniversary Box Set''''' is a 1993 limited edition box set by [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]]. It includes some of the band's best-known compositions from 1969 to 1992, many of them previously unavailable in the versions presented here. It was the second Jethro Tull [[box-set]] in five years, the first being the three CD/ five LP/ three Cassette ''[[20 Years of Jethro Tull]]''.

==Four CDs== The CDs are housed in a mock cigar box, along with a booklet featuring extensive notes and photographs, sealed with a label bearing an image of Ian Anderson.

This CD omits "By Kind Permission Of" and "Dharma For One", due to CD time constraints. Both can be found on the ''[[Living In The Past (album)|Living In The Past]]'' compilation. (60:28) *'''The Beacons Bottom''' ''Tapes'': new recordings, mostly of older tracks (71:07) *'''Pot Pourri''', ''Live Across The World & Through The Years'': live (1969–1992) (77:43)
