anyone mention tull?

I was just walking down Baker St., London earlier this week on business and was humming that tune. I wish someone would remaster all the great Tull: Minstrel, Thick, Passion, War Child, Stand Up. And also do it on vinyl.

Man- what memories. I remember when Benefit was released and me and my buds spun it endlessly (yep- I'm 49). Stand Up, Benefit, Aqua Lung, Thick as a Brick, all incredible.

Thanks for the great thread!

You tube has some good videos of Tull , check em out.

Jethro Tull have been my favourite group since I first heard their music back in '69. I haven't changed my mind since. They're almost at their 40th anniversary and they're still going strong, playing about 100 gigs a year.

Like all Tull fans, I'm royally ticked that they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I wouldn't be bothered by that, however, if there was in truth in advertising and the Hall took its more accurate name: i.e. "The Billboard Top 40 Hall of Fame".

My favorites in this order: Stand Up (paid $90 for a mint 1st pressing U.K. Island pink "eye" pressing), Benefit (german import gatefold, Island 1st pressing), Songs from the Wood (original UK green Chryslis import pressing), Heavy Horses, A Passion Play (all UK pressings)
I used to have a copy of Minstrel, Thick, Living, but don't know what happened to them.. Aqualung a little too sacrilegious for me now... but Hymn 43 live was something to see/hear. Last saw Tull in 1979 for the Stormwatch tour, which was very good, not to mention the great Terry Bozio drumming with the opening act "UK" (bruford had left at that point).
