 Long Live the Classics!
An acclectic classic from the "original masters" of folk/blues rock. A more then enjoyable listen from begining to end, really containing only one flaw. Apparently when this album was first put on to CD sombody thought it would be a good idea to leave two of the greatest cuts from the original LP off of the compact disc format. Despite the ommision of "Teacher" and "Bouree" this is still one of the most enjoyable classic rock adventures of all time. I recomend it to all! -Dylan Peifley

 3.5 stars- You should buy this if you're a completest
I think that when I owned this cd first, it was this British version. I needed some money, so I sold it to a used record store, but have since rebought the U.S. version. I have bought the out of print U.S.version for $20.00 on Amazon, but would like to clarify something to your customers. I really don't care anything about the previously released stuff that has always been on the album. If you're a Tull fan you've already got them on the first 4 albums, so I don't understand people bitching about the songs like "Teacher" and "Bouree" being left off the single disc versions of LIVING IN THE PAST. The British version has "Locomotive Breath", but doesn't have "Hymn 43" or "Alive and well and living in", so in the long run the U.S. version has 20 tracks and the U.K. has 19 tracks. I wanted "Alive and well and living in", and didn't care about the previously released stuff, so I paid the $20.00 for it. I think originally they could have just left off 6 or 7 of the previously released stuff and made a single album of the never before released tracks. Why on earth do you need to have recordings of what you already own. Don't waste your time or money looking for the two-disc Toshiba or Mobile Fidelity discs because you're basically throwing your money down the drain because they are so high dollar. My U.S. version sounds like it was remastered on quite a few of the tracks, so just buy this U.K. version on CD UNIVERSE, or if you want the U.S. version, you'll have to go to Amazon to purchase it. I'm a big Jethro Tull fan, and a completest, so this was my last purchase of the Jethro Tull catalog, and it's a fairly good listen also. ENJOY!!!

 A must have for any serious music collector.
I couldn't wait for this orgional release on cd! A wonderful collection of the first three lineups of Jethro Tull.Ian Anderson has always surrounded himself with exceptional musicians, and this 1972 release highlights them all: Mick Abrahams, Martin Barre(Guitar),Glen Cornick(Bass) and Clive Bunker(Drums).Check out the 5/4 timing on the classic cut "Living in the past".Songs like "Bouree, Witches promise and Teacher" are all drivin by the rythem of Cornick and Bunker.The live cuts(1970 Carnegie Hall) spotlights John Evan versitility on Piano, whlie "Dharma for one" hails the first sense of heavey metal.A real chestnut is "For later". a valid instramental.This is a great collection of little heard Tull music!
