Jethro Tull - This Was flac album

Jethro Tull was initially a strange kind of blues band. Their first line-up included Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick, Clive Bunker, and Ian Anderson. Shop this was on burning shed. The debut album hit in the British charts, partly thanks to great airplay from BBC Radio DJ John Peel. In June 1968, just before this album was recorded, Jethro Tull began a residency at London’s famed Marquee Club (where the ‘Stones and The Who also launched their careers). Band advisers failed to get Ian to give up the flute and let Mick do all the singing. The album was recorded without any record company contract presuming, correctly, that a deal could be made afterwards. Tull began their first US tour in January 1969, immediately after securing the services of guitarist Martin Barre.

The album was produced by Ian Anderson and Robin Black.

Stand Up is the second studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1969. He was replaced by guitarist Martin Barre, who appeared on every Jethro Tull album from this point onwards.

Jethro Tull was very much a blues band on their debut album, vaguely reminiscent of the Graham Bond Organization only more cohesive, and with greater commercial sense. The revelations about the group's roots on This Was - which was recorded during the summer of 1968 - can be astonishing, even 30 years after the fact

The first Jethro Tull album I bought was " Living in the Past . .Every song better than than the one before  . While "This Was" is far from Jethro Tull's most developed or defining album, it is a very enjoyable introduction to the bands curious juxtapostion of flute against the standard rock band configuration. The material is deeper rooted in the blues forms that had a toe hold on most of the Brit rockers with mid/late 60's born-on-dates (think Cream) - However, the genre-fusing that continued to serve Tull very well into the new millennium was already in gear with tinges of jazz sweating through the muscular blues progressions the band vigorously fleshed.
