   I'm a big fan of the 1971 outtakes and i really like side one of aqualung, but not much of side 2. here's my rankings
1-Cross eyed Mary-classic
2-Life is a long song(remix)-beautiful classic, should have been recorded properly like this in the first place
3-Aqualung-overplayed but very good song
4-Up the pool-love this acoustic
5-For Later-very catchy upbeat instrumental
6-Up to me-very catchy acoustic
7-Dr Bogenbroom-strong acoustic dark feeling
8-Wond'ring again-very nice acoustic
9-Mother goose-catchy acoustic rocker
10-Wond'ring aloud-short but sweet
11-Cheap day return-short but sweet
12Locomotive breath(mu version)-the recording makes it more interesting than other version
13-Wind Up(quad version)-more lively and prog sounding than other version
14-Lick your fingers clean-pretty cool sounding rocker
15-Locomotive breath-good, but predictable
16-My god-good in bits, but vocals annoying, repetitive riff
17-Hymn 43-good chorus, but messy song
18-Wind up-nice in slow bits but annoying hard rock in heavy bits
19-Slipstream-half decent
20-Nursie-half decent
aqualung is far from my fave tull album but 1971 would be close to tulls strongest year. the 9 outtakes form a group of songs as strong as the aqualung album i believe. i hope i haven't missed a song ;)

	I wonder if the band ever recorded hot headed English general and Tomorrow was today in the studio. I think they are from 1971 and they sound like great songs live Edited by gentletull

	I'm more than happy with the 1971 version. Hey whiteduck, I'd swap wind up with dr bogenbroom, my god with up to me and hymn 43 with for later . For later sounds like a 70s car chase song with an awesome funky bit. Edited by gentletull
