Re: Jethro Tull

I can see buying multiple vinyl LPs tracing a favoured artist's career, but being a dinosaur from aeons past I just can't see tracing an artist's career through individual CDs. As a result, I don't have any of Jethro Tull's CD only releases. With that in mind, would this CD be a good one for me to get to keep me appraised of what the fellows have been doing in the last twenty years?

It's a 2 cd release, cd 1 covers 1968 - '74 with the usual fare. Cd 2 is from 1975 - '91.
Disc 1
1."A Song For Jeffrey" - 3:19
2."Beggar's Farm" - 4:19
3."A Christmas Song" - 3:07
4."A New Day Yesterday" - 4:09
5."Bourée" - 3:46
6."Nothing Is Easy" - 4:23
7."Living In The Past" - 3:21
8."To Cry You A Song" - 6:15
9."Teacher" - 4:01
10."Sweet Dream" - 4:02
11."Cross-Eyed Mary" - 4:09
12."Mother Goose" - 3:53
13."Aqualung" - 6:36
14."Locomotive Breath" - 4:25
15."Life Is A Long Song" - 3:19
16."Thick as a Brick" (extract) - 3:02
17."A Passion Play" (extract) - 3:47
18."Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day" - 3:52
19."Bungle In The Jungle" - 3:39 [edit]
Disc 2
1.Minstrel In The Gallery" - 6:10
2.Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die" - 5:40
3.Songs From The Wood" - 4:54
4.Jack-In-The-Green" - 2:30
5.The Whistler" - 3:32
6.Heavy Horses" - 8:57
7.Dun Ringill" - 2:41
8.Fylingdale Flyer" - 4:32
9.Jack-A-Lynn" - 4:42
10.Pussy Willow" - 3:53
11.Broadsword" - 4:59
12.Under Wraps II" - 2:14
13.Steel Monkey" - 3:34
14.Farm On The Freeway" - 6:28

16.Kissing Willie" - 3:31
17.This Is Not Love" - 3:54

Re: Jethro Tull

^^^Imo, that's an excellent compilation that both covers roughly 30 years worth of great, as well as many of their biggest hit songs. Other than going for a box set, the Anniversary Collection is an excellent choice.

Re: Jethro Tull

This Was, Stand Up , Benefit, Aqualung ,A Passion Play,War Child, Minstrel in the Gallery, Stormwatch, The Broadsword and the Beast, those are the ones I own. Seems like a had a few others but don't know what happen to them over the years.

Re: Jethro Tull

One of the legion of Tull enemies on this board has now set 24 (that's right, 24, I kid you not) savage enemy bands against Jethro Tull!

There's still hope, however, if we Tull fans band together and vote en masse!

Mine are to keep Tull firmly in the eyes of the buying public. But this last poll is most assuredly a dastardly and sordid attempt to besmirch the band we hold dear in our hearts.

It's about time they got some well deserved recognition.

Thanks for sharing that Jeffrey.
