ORIGINAL MASTERS

An excellent bargain compilation for those new to the magic that is 'Jethro Tull'. This disc captures the majority of their best known tracks from 1969-1977, and gives a fair overview of Jethro Tull's sound, a masterful blend of English folk sound and progressive- hard rock. While being a best of compilation, of course this disc leans towards the commercial rather than the progressive, but it does serve as a good introduction to the band, or a good best-of for the casual fan to turn to. It features an alternate version of "Aqualung", and the delightful non album B-side "Life is a Long Song" to close things off. - 4 Stars.
