Product Description

CD Description
With a band as long-lived and prolific as Jethro Tull, there are naturally compilations aplenty. So THROUGH THE YEARS, with its three-decade perspective on Tull, avoids the obvious choices. Instead of crowd-pleasing riff-rockers that radiolisteners have been bombarded with for ages, this collection focuses on lesser-known Tull tracks, providing a kind of alternative history for the neophyte, and a walk through familiar-but-esoteric pastures for the longtime fan.
Aside from an energetic live version of the flute-driven rocker "Locomotive Breath", the only "radio" song here is "Living in the Past". Beyond that, THROUGH THE YEARS explores the outer reaches of the Tull catalogue. One of the lesser-known songs from the classic AQUALUNG album, "Wind Up" is a pointed, acerbic attack on Christian hypocrisy. SONGS FROM THE WOOD's "The Whistler" ventures into the more pastoral, progressive folk-rock side of the band's sound. This compilation isn't afraid to venture into the later volumes of Tull's history either, and the willingness to leave preconceptions beside makesit possible for THROUGH THE YEARS to present Tull in a fresh--if not entirely unfamiliar--light.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, 11 Jul 2001
By A Customer
A bizzare collection of tracks, that manages to miss pretty much all the important songs released by Tull over their long career. The only good thing I could think of saying about this album is that the biography told in the enclosed booklet is kind of interesting, amusing and well written.

3.0 out of 5 stars previously released, 19 April 2006
This compilation was previously released under the title 'A Jethro Tull Collection'.
It contains solid tracks and some good ones but in so many ways it doesn't really capture what Jethro Tull is all about - a band of great age and many sounds after all.
However, as I subsequently discovered, this album dovetails very well with most of the Best Of type compilations.
It contains Acres Wild but not Heavy Horses;
Beastie but not Broadsword and so on.
With only a few exceptions this contains the tracks that are the 'alternative' best track or sometimes the 'second best' track on multiple albums.arguably the second best tracks on several albums.
So if you have no Jethro Tull and want to explore the sound of Ian Anderson DON'T get this album. Get the Very Best of JT or some such. If, however, you have got a best of or are replacing your vinyl collection etc then this album is a good fit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good mix of old & newer Jethro Tull., 30 April 2009
By Mrs. J. L. O'neill "cat lover" (Hatfield,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is a good mix of both old favourites & some newer Jethro Tull songs. My favourite has always been the first hit they had "Living in the Past", but "Locomotive Breath", "The Whistler" & the more recent "Budapest" are included. A little disappointing is the fact that another great song "Heavy Horses" is not included in this collection.
