TRIPLE DISC SET OF EARLY BROADCASTS FROM THE MIGHTY JETHRO TULL

Formed in Blackpool in 1967, Jethro Tull initially played blues rock and jazz fusion, but the band later developed their sound to incorporate elements of hard rock, folk and pop and went on to forge a progressive rock signature. Led by the charismatic vocalist, flautist and guitarist Ian Anderson, Tull have employed a revolving door of line-ups through the years, which included significant members such as long-time guitarist Martin Barre, keyboardists John Evans, Dee Palmer and Peter-John Vettese, drummers Clive Bunker, Barrie "Barriemore" Barlow and Doane Perry, and bassists Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond, John Glascock, and Dave Pegg. • After achieving moderate recognition performing on the London club scene, the band released their debut album This Was in 1968. After a line-up change which saw original guitarist Mick Abrahams replaced by Martin Barre, the band released the folk-tinged blues record Stand Up (1969). Stand Up saw the band achieve their first commercial success, with the album reaching No. 1 in the UK, followed by regular tours of the UK and the US. Their musical style shifted in the direction of progressive rock with the albums Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick (1972) and A Passion Play (1973), and shifted again to folk rock with Songs from the Wood (1977), Heavy Horses (1978) and Stormwatch (1979). In the early 1980s the band underwent a major line-up change and shifted towards electronic rock, with the albums A (1980), The Broadsword and the Beast (1982) and Under Wraps (1984).Their last record was in 2003, but they continued to tour until 2011. • The enticing triple CD set contains FM radio broadcasts of performances from the early years of JT’s career. Kicking off on DISC ONE with their mesmerising performance at the Konserthuse, in Stockholm, Sweden, on 14th January 1969, when the group were still touring their Stand-Up album, released six-months before. Next up, DISC TWO features two performances form Tull, firstly their set from the Newport Pop Festival in Northridge, CA on 21st June ’69, and secondly from their show at the Eagles Auditorium in Seattle, Washington on 9th March the same year. • The set concludes on DISC THREE with Tull’s magnificent concert at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom on 16th August 1970.DISC ONE
