Description
All tracks have been digitally remastered. Jethro Tull's first album THIS WAS, is a debut of incredible maturity that fitted in nicely between blues and prog. Guitarist Mick Abrahams was the darling of the UK rock clubs, and for a brief moment held a candle to Clapton, especially with his showpiece "Cat's Squirrel". Abrahams soon left to form Blodwyn Pig. Singer Ian Anderson, the undisputed leader, wore a ratty overcoat, played flute, and pranced like a mad elf. Live they were tremendous, and on record they got even better. "Song For Jeffrey" was the choice single. Other interesting tracks are the flute-led "Serenade For a Cuckoo" (written by Roland Kirk) and "Dharma For One", with that greatest of rarities--an interesting drum solo.
