How about TUNDRA?
I love it.
Short Arctic desert day and someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra. Look around every which way but I can't see just where the footprints go. Is it a casual disappearance? Plucked from the middle atmosphere like straw wind-blown. No speck on the horizon no simple message scrawled upon the snow.

There was this Ian Anderson appreciation night show (not the thing's title) up at an outdoor theater in the Hollywood hills around 10 years ago(?) or less that I missed getting tickets for, but the thing sold out quickly anyway, so ... . I'll always kick myself for not going, but I'd love to hear about it from any locals who were in attendance.

^Yes and the Broadsword outtakes could have made another, and better, album!
As I've stated elsewhere, the outtakes from BatB were better than the actual album, particularly Jack-a-Lynn and Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow. I have listened to and enjoyed those on the fine 20 Years of Jethro Tull compilation and never replaced my BatB vinyl with a CD back in the day.

What a great album that compilation was, uh?
When LitP was released in 1972, most of the U.S. album version was new material to us in the States. The 1971 EP Life Is A Long Song was only released in the UK (with songs Life is a Long Song, Up the Pool, Doctor Bogenbroom, For Later and Nursie). In addition, Love Story, Christmas Song, Driving Song, Sweet Dream and Witch's Promise were all UK single releases -- also Singing all Day, Wond'ring Again and Just Trying to Be were unreleased.
So, include the side with the live performance from Carnegie, and to me and everyone else here it was an actual Tull album, not a compilation. And it is a 5 star album in my book. I still see and hear it that way, even though they're plopping the songs on different remixes.

I did not know that! Very interesting.
Yes, to me is a five stars also (still thinking in the review to it).
About Wondring Again... I listen when I'am in a particular mood. Its a very important song to me.

There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea, and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be, when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.
Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride, spawning new millions throws the world on its side. Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse, and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.
The excrement bubbles, the century's slime decays and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say it's under control and we'll soon be on our way to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.
The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old, and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow. Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told. Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh, and left it to die. At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own, held its poor broken head in her hands, dropped soft tears in the snow, and it's only the taking that makes you what you are.
Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born to share in our infancy in the child's path we've worn. In the aging seclusion of this earth that our birth did surprise we'll open his eyes.
