ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SONG

Take a look at the track listing for the 5'' CD single version which is what I owned when this came out. The "dressing room tapes" were a big highlight for me. The setting is intimate for this "almost unplugged" performance. I remember hearing this for the first time and feeling like I was there, having my own private performance of some classic-era Tull songs.

At the time of its release, this was ESSENTIAL - 5 stars. I paid lots of money for it at an import CD shop (in the USA), so it was a prized part of my collection. Now, however, I give this particular release 4 stars, only because the "dressing room tapes" are more readily available now on the remastered Rock Island.

There is an argument for giving this 2-stars, which this site defines as "Collectors/fans only", because this material is now easily found on other releases. However, I give it the 4-stars because this truly once was a 5-star member of my CD collection for 20 years.
