Product Description
CD Description
After the success of M.U., a best-of collection that appeared in 1976, it was apparent that the public was more than willing to buy collections of previously released Jethro Tull songs. Since the band's studio records often consisted of sprawling epics like THICK AS A BRICK and A PASSION PLAY, the greatest-hits collections were considerably more accessible,offering abridged versions of their mini-epics without someof the more challenging (and lengthy) musical excursions.
Thus, REPEAT includes the central chunk of the eight-minute "Minstrel in the Gallery", and single-length excerpts of "A Passion Play" and "Thick As a Brick". The set revisits some of the best of Tull's early records such as two fine songsfrom 1969's STAND UP which showcase the band's incredibly wide and idiosyncratic range. These are "Bouree", a lilting flute-driven romp based on a Bach theme and "A New Day Yesterday", an electric blues rave-up featuring Tull at its heaviest. One of the less obvious choices here is the dark title track from 1974's WAR CHILD. And rounding out the set is the very worthy "Glory Row", a previously unreleased bonus track.
