Our Take

JETHRO TULL's "This Was" (50th Anniversary Edition) takes us on a delightful trip down memory lane, back to a time when rock music was as wild and unpredictable as a night out in Soho. This reissue of the band's debut album is a treasure trove of bluesy riffs, jazzy flourishes, and Ian Anderson's unmistakable flute solos.

From the opening track "My Sunday Feeling" to the rollicking "Cat's Squirrel", this album is a masterclass in how to blend genres with effortless style. The remastered tracks sound crisp and clear, allowing us to fully appreciate the virtuosity of each band member. Anderson's lyrics are as witty and sardonic as ever, offering a glimpse into the mind of a bonafide rock legend.

The bonus material on this edition is the cherry on top of an already delicious cake. Live recordings, studio outtakes, and rare demos give us a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind the album, making us feel like we're right there in the studio with the band.

Whether you're a die-hard Tull fan or a newcomer to their music, "This Was" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll with a twist. So pour yourself a glass of vintage wine, settle into your favourite armchair, and let the music take you on a journey through time and space. Cheers to another 50 years of Jethro Tull!

About the artist

Jethro Tull

JETHRO TULL: The Flute-Wielding Wizard of Prog-Rock If you ask any music aficionado to name a band with a flautist as their frontman, chances are the first name that pops into their head is Jethro Tull. Led by the enigmatic Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull has been pushing the boundaries of rock music since the late 1960s, infusing their sound with folk, blues, and a healthy dose of whimsical storytelling. Anderson himself is a true musical polymath, effortlessly switching between flute solos that will make your jaw drop and vocals that can range from a gentle whisper to a full-on rock scream. And let's not forget his signature move of standing on one leg while playing the flute - a feat that has left many a fan scratching their heads in wonder. But it's not just Anderson's musical prowess that makes Jethro Tull stand out. Their albums are a masterclass in storytelling, with concept albums like "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung" taking listeners on a journey through surreal worlds and thought-provoking narratives. And let's not forget their epic live performances, complete with elaborate stage setups and Anderson's iconic stage presence. So, whether you're a die-hard prog-rock fan or just someone looking to expand their musical horizons, Jethro Tull is a band that should be on your radar. With their unmatched musicianship, whimsical storytelling, and one-legged flute-playing frontman, Jethro Tull is a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music.
