I've never been able to get down with the stuff from 'A' onward. I'll try again someday but yeah. It's SUCH a weird thing though, synth hair funk tull...

spoiler alert: this album isn't very good and probably shouldn't have won a grammy
Jethro Tull seem stuck...they couldn't really change the style up and if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up a la Yes and Genesis
but they didn't totally stick to their guns either and got saddled with moments of trying to be "modern" and so it just ends up in this middle ground that wouldn't satisfy anyone

by the mid 80s i was really into fairport and boiled in lead and stuff like that and it was super galling to me that tull couldn't just do songs from the wood parts 2 3 and 4.

If this is an attempt to jumpstart an Eagles-style track-by-track Tull thread, count me in.

"Teacher" is such a jam, just realized it was cut from the CD version of Living In The Past, which is insane

Three Top 10 hits, one Top 20 and Top 30 in the UK, 1969-71. The only ones I know are "Living in the Past" and "Witches Promise".

Family were having hits at roughly the same time, the charts were pretty weird back then.

two of the best imo
The LP version of the Living in the Past comp is a great place to start if you're dipping your toes into Tull waters, and will cost you >$2 at any record store in America

They cut Teacher? Hey man what’s the plan what was that you said.
That is a terrible error

(xpost) $2? For the double? Is there no ridiculously-priced used market down there? I doubt you could get that in good shape for under $10-15 up here.

Huh, I dunno! I just assumed because I used to see it everywhere, frequently in the dollar bin. But I've given up shopping for vinyl in record stores in big cities so you may be right. LPs that were once ubiquitous--Rumours, Dark Side, etc--are now being sold for $25. It's madness!
