Released 55 years on this day

This one, like some other British albums, was perfectly put together.  Once started, you HAD to listen all the way through. 

When I was a wee lad I thought all the songs were a double entendre. Such deep thoughts from a bunch of rockers.   But I thought Mother Goose was just a tune about the street actors.  Unlike one of Tull's other songs Kissing Willie.  Which may have a much deeper meaning.

I have many Tull LPs.  Thanks for the inspiration - I will be playing some today ;-)

Tull albums are one of my favorites, certainly in my top five of all artists. My big three are "Aqualung", "Thick as a Brick" and "Benefit". Followed closely by "Stand Up" and "This Was". I feel like I've spent a small fortune on all the iterations of the Tull catalogue, including Steve Wilson versions, MFSL, UK pressings, original US Chrysalis pressings, CDs and cassettes. Happy to have them all! 

@jbuhl , +1 on Ian kicking Martin Barre out of the band he was in for almost 50 years.  I saw them 27 times between 1970 through 1980. After 1980 I saw them 3 more times but it was not the same.  I saw their 50 years of Tull at the casino in Connecticut.  Every musician that played with Tull was recognized EXCEPT Martin Barre.  After that, I no longer listen to Tull, screw Ian Anderson for stealing away Martins retirement.  After 50 years of playing second fiddle to a flute, Martin deserved much better.
