| | Jethro Tull Original Masters CD Jethro Tull Discography of CDs
Anyone who owned a radio in the 1970s knows most of these songs by heart. A comprehensive retrospective of the career of Jethro Tull, this collection gathers the group's big hits and fan favorites, while also including early chestnuts that may not be familiar to listeners who weren't there the first time around. Showcasing an eight-year period during which the group rose to international prominence, ORIGINAL MASTERS includes at least one song from nearly every year of Tull's steady rise, from 1969's "Living in the Past" to the title track of 1977's SONGS FROM THE WOOD.
This is an ideal set for people who want to skim the cream off the top of the Tull songbook. All the essential songs are here--"Aqualung," "Locomotive Breath," "Bungle in the Jungle" "Skating Away," etc., but some of the other choices provide valuable historical perspective. Early songs such as the impassioned "Witch's Promise" from 1970's BENEFIT show off the unique sound Tull possessed before 1971's AQUALUNG transformed them into a monster rock band.
In the mid '80s, prog-rock made a comeback of sorts, with '70s superstars Yes and Genesis scoring hit albums and singles. While Jethro Tull didn't build on its '70s success in next decade as well as the aforementioned bands, Tull still retained a sizable following. In 1985, the band's third "best of" collection was issued, ORIGINAL MASTERS, which combined the best selections from its two greatest hits predecessors, 1976's M.U.: THE BEST OF JETHRO TULL and 1977's REPEAT: THE BEST OF JETHRO TULL, VOL. II.
Jethro Tull's earlier work is undoubtedly the band's best known, and it's represented on ORIGINAL MASTERS by such familiar rock classics as "Aqualung," "Living in the Past," "Thick as a Brick" (edited down from its original 40-minute length), "Bungle in the Jungle," "Witches Promise," and "Locomotive Breath." Several tracks from the mid-to-late '70s are featured as well--"Too Old to Rock n' Roll, Too Young to Die," "Minstrel in the Gallery," and "Songs From the Wood." Though by no means the definitive collection of Tull's best material, ORIGINAL MASTERS serves its purpose well as a succinct anthology.
ORIGINAL MASTERS contains songs from 1969-77.

this album was made over the course of five years. It started with some electronic songs I was working on with lyrics -- It was going tobe the follow up to Hollywood, but Hollywood didn't do as well as I thought it would. It definitely had it's problems. Although I was anadept keyboard player, I wasn't very experienced as a singer and I think it showed a bit. I still think I'd like to do some of the songs again.Soon after I started "20 Minutes" someone gave me this beautiful Rhodes Mark I keyboard and I started to fool around with it. It became the signature of the album. Every song has been touched by the electric piano and in most cases an organ sound from the computer orone of my other keyboards.My dad introduced me to a few players and had it in his head that I should start incorporating other musicians besides the two of us.Danny Underwood was the first guy to come in. He graciously agreed to do it, and without asking for anything in return. This trend would continue and I don't think anyone's ever talked about money, probably because they know there might never be any, but mostly because they play for the love of it.Anyway, danny walked in with this gorgeous 5 string number and started laying down some groves on songs I had partially written. I had gone to length to take a lot out to see what he would add. What I hadn'texpected was the influence his playing would have on my playing.In fact, every musician who touched this album had something to teach me. The next person was J.O. wharton, who just blew over everything I had. It was really difficult to have to cut all of that beautiful playing when it came to editing!A few weeks later, Nathan felde came in with his Viola. Nathan and I had been working together in the design world for a while and I had never heard him play, although people had told me that he was also ag ood player. He came in, improv-ed over a song and then proceeded tostart going nuts with some atonal fast moving stuff, a lot of which ended up in Todd Verow's upcoming film "Hooks to the Left."All throughout this, my dad and I were working out the material, writing songs, swapping lyrics and rewriting. He would come in andplay, sometimes with one stringed instrument, sometimes with another,but his main axe was the Strat. that was and continues to be the guitar sound on almost everything.Then I started getting serious with my girlfriend who lived in London at the time and I decided to move out there. I nearly abandoned the album completely at that point because of the move and pretty much atthe same time I got a contract ...
