Product Description

CD Description

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 favourites, 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 whichthe 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 titletrack 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A taste of the best of Jethro Tull, circa 1969-1976, 9 Jul 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Jethro Tull is one of those groups for whom I resist the notion of a greatest hits collection, probably because they had two albums ("Thick as a Brick" and "Passion Play") which were created as unfieid works. Even on "Aqualung" there is more thematic unit than you usually find on Rock albums, even when you are dealing with Progressive Rock, so "Original Masters" strikes me as strange as listening to one movement from a Mozart symphony. This collection covers some of Jethro Tull's best work from 1969-1975, and I would certainly agree with everybody else who has commented that the lineup could certainly be better given what is available. I would have gone for "Bouree," "Wondering Aloud" and the Marcus Purdy sequence from "Passion Play" instead of "Sweet Dream," "Witches Promise" and "Life's A Long Song." Ask me again tomorrow and I will probably have a different answer.

So if you are already an Ian Anderson enthusiast, then "Original Masters" will give you an urge to go listen to your favorite Jethro Tull albums again. If you are familiar with Jethro Tull mainly from what few songs received heavy AM radio play, then these songs may well whet your appetite for the group's more ambitious music. Now, if somebody could just explain to me how we come to live in a world where the music from "Thick As A Brick" is used to sell cars? Apparently the executives who Okayed that ad do not remember what is in the gutter when your love is in the sink. Amazing. Just remember to go check out the albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jethro Tull Showcase album, 11 Feb 2000
By pavane@robertsflat.fsnet.co.uk (Northamptonshire, England) - See all my reviews
Indeed, this isn't just any veteran rock group compilation. 'Original Masters' is ideal for converting anybody interested to being a Tully. It includes old favourites, differing in style and sound. Although I had most of the tracks on other CD's, it still proved a special programme and therefore convenient having the 'Masters' all on one album. Truly my money's worth!

5.0 out of 5 stars My late adolescence on CD, 18 Dec 1999
By A Customer
I bought Original Masters in 1988, in the Woolworths sale, purely because a hip friend had a copy. I guessed that if she liked them they had to be okay, and being born rather too late to be aware of Tull in their heyday I had only her recommendation to go on. She had fine taste - Original Masters is everything I wanted to hear at 18 - mysterious, ingenious, even a little romantic. It can easily be said to be a definitive guide.
