Jethro Tull 'Living In The Past' song omission bonjobey Well that's odd! Must check my copy A US pressing as ASCAP stands for American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Why it's missing LITP is a mystery.

Just bought a used copy from Amazon. Same scenario. And though there are many versions of this double LP, I believe what we have are manufacturer errors. With the label printed correctly, and no documentation of this version that I can find, gotta come down to human error.

It would be nice if they made a 2 CD/DVD version of Living in the Past using Steven Wilson remix in the same hardback book form as Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, ...
If Mr. Wilson will remix "This Was" they will have all the tracks for a "Living in the past" 5.1 surround sound mix. Even if we know that "This was" was recorded with only 4 tracks...

Choices For The Summer Lolling - July 30, 2012 www.swans.com/library/art18/rajup59.html• Living In The Past (1972), by Jethro Tull The best rock music, like this album, was created between the 1950s and 1970s, anything made beyond that is facsimile. Once I used to join in, every boy and girl was my friend. Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting.

Living in the Past has fulfilled it's lofty title. When I listened to it today I was transported directly to the moods and feeling of 1973. After all these years, I knew which song to expect next and was reminded how amazing songs like 'Up the Pool and Sweet Dreams' sounded that early in my Tull career. What an amazing compilation by such young, brave, imaginative musicians. Hearing it today melted away the 46 years since it was a new record in my basement bedroom. I was exactly the person who heard it there.

What an amazing compilation by such young, brave, imaginative musicians. Hearing it today melted away the 46 years since it was a new record in my basement bedroom. I was exactly the person who heard it there. I was given "LITP" by a friend who had for some reason lost interest in the band quite quickly. I was transported at the age of 16 to a new world of pastoral "English" sounding delight that painted pictures in my head and was light years away from the throwaway "pop" that UK radio with their narrow playlists forced on us all the time. I was never keen on the live section taken up with the drum /piano solos, but that still left me with three sides of vinyl to lose myself in. A real highlight for me, and still right at the top of my all time favourites, is "Wondering Again". Its a masterpiece, and the highlight is that sparse beautifully timed John Evan piano halfway through. That mix is perfect too, I think the Steven Wilson remix on the "Aqualung" box took away some of its magic, this original is best.

I was thinking about these pix the other day when I mentioned on the 'coo pics' thread that Ian's look changed between 72 and 73 making many of these amazing shots sort of obsolete....In 1973, this LITP pictures constituted about 70% of ALL the Tull pics I had ! Some articles from Rolling Stone, Cream and Crawdaddy made up about 20% and the rest were newspaper shots and a poster or three. So very true, at least in the USA. These were shots that adorned countless USA dorm rooms or other places one retired to for daily bong offerings. As I have mentioned before, they have to be the least photographed band or "artist" of enormous popularity ever. That's why it's been astonishing with the onset of A New Day nearly 30 years ago, and moreso the internet, that there were in fact alot of pics of them. Who knew about that German dude. Maybe fanatical Germans, but any one more fanatical than me in the USA I might not have wanted to know about, buddy, you got a problem there if you're worse than me. Happily for my psyche, turns out quite a few other were at least as bad, and still hold down quality jobs and raise families. But yes, I think that was the first one Graham posted, the one with the full band and Barrie holding a baby, that remains to me the singular shot of Jethro Tull, captures so well their stage presence circa 1972 even though it is not a stage shot, though it is staged. I always wondered who that baby was. Who's baby is it? The baby is probably about 50ish now.

www.pattayamail.com/arts-entertainment/life-at-33-13-living-in-the-glorious-past-27978Life at 33⅓: Living in the glorious pastBy Carl MeyerNovember 17, 2021 Jethro Tull: Living In The Past (Chrysalis) A better package than this was hard to imagine in 1972. The double album covers all bases. It’s a single-collection, it‘s a best of, it’s outtakes, it’s alive, it’s a gorgeous sample of the band’s output – two long playing records in an elaborate gate-fold “leather bound” sleeve that contains a large colour photo booklet with over 50 photos of the band. However, the ambitious project has one drawback: Compromise. The four sides are split up in themes leaving almost no room for B-sides. They also picked the wrong version of “Teacher” (the one from “Benefit” rather than the single-version). But these slight flaws do not stop “Living In The Past” from being an impressive journey through the band’s career up to that point. They flew in on the coattails of the British blues boom in the late 60s, breaking away from it almost before they landed (say goodbye to Mick Abrahams), leaving Ian Anderson completely in charge. His sources of musical inspirations were numerous and with Jethro Tull he tried to blend them all together. The electric blues was joined by electric British folk, acoustic folk, classical music, hard rock and soft rock, singer-songwriter stuff, elements of pure pop. There were even glimpses of the concept-album monster – and a touch of jazz. By their second album “Stand Up” (1969), Jethro Tull already sounded like nothing else in rock. That album became the foundation from where they evolved. At a time when rock groups were confusing greatness with loudness, Anderson steered his band through organic, subdued arrangements that grew on the listener rather than punch him in the face. It was bold music with strong hints of what we now call prog-rock. Anderson’s focus on timing, his relentless demands on the musicians, his almost mathematical calculations in concept works like “Thick As A Brick” and “A Passion Play” gives him a certain kinship to Frank Zappa. “Living In The Past” sums up the band just before they entered a pretentious phase that was a wee bit too inaccessible for some (me included). Sides 1 and 2 are chock-full of wonderful singles. They are playful and adventurous, but always built round strong choruses and quite often guitar riffs that nails them to your brain. Anderson’s merry flute gives the songs their distinctive fingerprints. Personal favourites are “Living In The Past”, the double A-side “Teacher” / “The Witch’s Promise” and the melancholic and beautiful “Inside”. Side 3 captures the band live at Carnegie Hall, 1970, working their way through two long tracks with lots of space for improvisations that are not that interesting to be honest. But as a time piece I accept it willingly. Side 4 delivers the amazingly cool “Locomotive Breath” (what a riff!) from “Aqualung” and the complete five-track EP “Life’s A Long Song” which shows the band from a subdued, almost unplugged side performing some of the finest ballads Anderson ever wrote. The album is an excellent summary of Jethro Tull’s first and most immediate phase. Phase two, the concept albums, had already started a few months earlier with “Thick As A Brick” and would be somewhat more difficult to deal with.

This album is next on my afternoon Tull 'playlist'. I would love to see this compilation album given a 'deluxe' release.
With the superb cover art it would look great on any bookshelf. It was the only Jethro Tull compilation to make the top 10 in the UK in 1972.
Sadly, I have a feeling it's not going to happen though.

I managed to buy this on ebay this morning (with picture sleeve) for the princely sum of £4.99 (including postage) so I am a 'happy bunny' today!
