I was going to vote for Velvet Green, but I wouldn't want to be known as a supporter of nonniness.
So No Lullaby it is!

Three leftover minutes from the most dramatic part of 'Whaler's Dues' isn't a good enough intro for some of you...snap out of it, i say !

Strange Avenues lasts a fraction too long. WYTTHM and Mary are uniquely Tullish, most unusual intros ever in the history of music - they catch your attention and keep it. Mary has a great build up.

I was listening to "This Was" last night in glorious mono.
"Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth. Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song."
from TAAB came to mind.

Cross-Eyed Mary is probably my favorite tune on Aqualung. Alas, it does not have my favorite Tull intro.

It's amazing to listen to "This Was" after all these years and realize just how much Mick Abrahams' input into the album made it one of the outstanding albums of its time and genre which enabled it to be the "entry level" for so many Tull fans. Its only "competitor" of its type (UK blues and self penned compositions) to my mind at least, was the first PG's Fleetwood Mac album issued in February '68 with "This Was" released in October of the same year.
And "This Was" reached #10 in the UK album charts and #62 in the USA when it was issued in the States in February '69.

Awwwww..you guys are leting me win because the Tull radio show I did a couple years back started with 'Strange Avenues' as the intro and you all remember that and think about it daily, right? right ?

This Was was one of the few Tull records I hadn't heard back in the day, and I was in no rush to purchase it even after I got into the band. I'd said to myself, "It was their first record and there was no Martin. How good can it be?" Then I finally got it and My Sunday Feeling started playing and I said to myself, "YOU FOOL! Why did you wait so long? This is magnificent!"
Oh, and here are some ideas for next time, nonrabbit: Roots to Branches, Nothing Is Easy, The Whaler's Dues.
