I am currently purchasing the entire Tull discography on vinyl. I have always been a big fan but have lately been re-listening to records that I didn't much care for when I was 16 (Broadsword, A, Rock Island) and whereas they are by no means masterpieces, they all really have a lot to offer. Far more than I remembered. Still have a tough time wrapping my head around Under Wraps, though.

Definately including that lol. I'll include all studio outtakes and 2-3 orchestral.
|
||||
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Yeah Maddy Prior. Yeah that setlist is awesome. The album goes from mediocre to great after those alterations to the track list. The songs I brought in have that taab/app feel. I just ignore bad eyed, too old etc. as Ian trying to be different. It's not really tull. Amazing they could really produce a classic prog related album pretty much every year of the 70s if they felt like it lol. How about warchild? Would you make it a single or double album? I'd add a couple of orchestra tracks on the double and bugger off bungle and two fingers.

Here's my new programmed track list. Sounds miles better. The real Tull is back. Ian's voice, martins guitar and Tulls compositions. With these 4 new songs this could rival sftw and horses. Out with the 4 daggy soundtrack songs and in with the Tull songs with the taab/app feel
Strip cartoon From a deadbeat Salamanders ragtime Pied piper Commercial traveller Salamander Big Dipper Small cigar(orchestral) Quiz kid Chequered flag |

Hi all
now because PA does not let us do this; I have been spending the last week putting together all official Jethro Tull released tracks and getting them on ranker.com for polling of the best Tull tracks of all time. (I know I musn't have much of a life!). I have endeavoured to put together every official released track ...I probably have missed a few. Here they are here: http://www.ranker.com/list/best-jethro-tull-songs/voteable?format=GRID&page=1&action=tab&type=list Get to it and tell your friends to join in. Also you can rank all Tull studio albums here: http://www.ranker.com/list/best-jethro-tull-albums-list/reference I have spent the last few weeks on this site.....It does get you in. Oh a few votes for Martin Barre on the Greatest guitarists of all time list wouldn't go astray! He's sitting on #154....C'mon!!!! If you can be bothered! http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-guitarists-of-all-time The TOTRNRTYTD Theatre Edition arrived here in OZ for me 2 days ago. i haven't listened to it yet.

Whatever wasn't on the album(soundtrack). Strip cartoon, Commercial traveller, Small cigar(full version), Salamander ragtime. These songs instantly sound like tull. Better compositions and vocals, more grunt, busier, catchier. More like actual prog. We probably would have had One brown mouse and a completed Advertising man on it too plus more. Maybe the guitar/drum medley and Beethovens 9th from Tampa would have been recorded in the studio too. But they ran out of time. The plan was to do a usual tull album and also a soundtrack in 74 and 76. But Ian was too caught up in the idea about making a movie and soundtrack in 74 and a play and soundtrack in 76. He composed and sang differently to how he would naturally. At least we have the full amount of songs from 74 for both albums and a few songs for the musical and about half the songs for the additional 76 album.

Actually, Wu, a few of the Wilson remixes are definitely worthwhile: The Stand Up remix has the full 1970 Carnegie Hall concert (parts were originally included on Living in the Past); the Aqualung 40th Anniversary album has remixes of Up the Pool, Wond'ring Aloud Again, Life is a Long Song, Up the Pool, From Later, Dr. Bogenbroom and Nursie; and A Passion Play contains a full remix of the whole Chateau D’Isaster session and added lost lyrics to The Foot of Our Stairs section, which, all in all, makes it perhaps the best of all the remixes.

I received my Too old remix box today. The 4 outtakes are better than every song on the album as expected apart from Chequered flag which is first class too. Tull and their bloody soundtracks lol. In 1974 and 76 they planned to do a soundtrack and also a separate tull album in both years. In the end they just released the soundtracks but these remixes have given us the additional 1974 album which was meant to be and the additional 1976 half album which didn't get complete. Wish Ian didn't waste time trying to write pop songs for movies and plays he was hoping to create. We would have been left with first class tull albums instead and a lot more prog fans. Probably missed out on a couple of gems in 1976 because he spent too much time on his proposed project. But we are left with 2 pretty strong albums with the addition of the outtakes and deletion of several of the soundtrack songs. |

Yes... Steven Wilson is remixing all Jethro Tull catalog and releasing in a box-set with 80 page material about the album and the band - the material is wrtitten mainly by a guy who I forgot the name, interviewing the band, people involved in the recording, etc.
Check the Progarchives discography of Tull, at the "boxsets and compilation" section, JT website, and even here you can see what this box is like. |
