Yes, of course taken from the LITP album booklet! How could we forget that one...seems it was taken at Island studios during the recording sessions. Here's another one from the Aqualung Tour Program: And another from the "Golddiscsession":

Chaps,
Do any of the '71 photos from Circus magazine mentioned by Tullpress or the 'Island Studios' photos from the record song book and Aqualung tour program have any photographer credits?

Port Chester 27/4/71 (99% certain the pics from MTV) i51.images obliterated by tinypic/33ky6ox.jpg[/IMG] Good recap (apart from Evan Anderson misprint) ;D by journalist Christine Loughran of the Portchester Patch.......... "When Ian Anderson and the rest of the crew of Jethro Tull hit the stage of the Capitol Theatre, they were amidst a transitional period in their career and overall sound—and one they were able to quickly bounce back from. Just a few months before the concert on April 27,th first bassist Glenn McCornick was kicked to the curb for reasons unknown. This was surely quite a blow for the legendary quartet, who are known for their progressive, folk, and hard rock influences. As the musician had been a part of Jethro since its conception in 1968, it would seem he would be a tough act to follow. The band responded by swiftly replacing McCornick with an old band-mate of Evan Anderson's—Jeffrey Hammond. (Hammond was a part of the 1962 group, Blades, of which Ian and drummer John Evans were a part) This particular evening in Westchester was also known to die-hard fans as the "Late Show," a follow up to what is remembered as the "Early Show" many years prior when the band performed at the Capitol on April 29, 1970. The newly tempered legends proudly debuted new tracks off Aqualung—one of their most successful albums of all time—for the first few numbers as a treat for the crowds of appreciative fans in attendance. Cross-Eyed Mary, (with a drum solo from John Evans,) Aqualung, the title number off the new record, Wind Up (evolving into a guitar solo) followed by a transition into Locomotive Breath, and later a reprise of Wind Up again to close were all included in the new set list of crowd-pleasers. Looking back at those recording and release dates, it is impressive how quickly Tull was able to pull together some drag-out hits in those few months. Hammond, a new member at the time, began recording the new album very soon after McCornick was let go (in December 1970). They churned out some solid hits in just a couple of months, setting release dates in both the UK (on March 3, 1971,) and later (May 1970) in the United States, all within a short time-span. Old favorites were not forgotten that night, with performances of "Nothing is Easy", "With You There to Help Me", "My God" (with a flute solo by Anderson), and "Hard-Headed English General." Visitors from around the county and elsewhere were undoubtedly blown away by this renowned concert of early seventies origin back on the concert circuit."

Chaps, Do any of the '71 photos from Circus magazine mentioned by Tullpress or the 'Island Studios' photos from the record song book and Aqualung tour program have any photographer credits? The Circus photos seem to be from the same session like the Bravo (which was published earlier; March 71) and as I already wrote are credited to Wolfgang Heilemann. He seems to be still around. Funnily these photos are not mentioned on his website: www.rockfoto.de/If you contact him you mind find out. The "Island Studio" photos don't have any credit, but on the last page of the "Living In The Past" LP cover are a lot photographers names, but not any name to any specific photo. Brian Ward and Ruan O'Lochlainn seem to be most likely, because they made most of the official Tull shots in that period. Good luck!

I've dug out this Circus -- yes, the credit is Photo: Heilman, as 10cars suggests.
Good session .. the German ones always usually had a bit of theatricality about them.
There were also some b&w promo photographs which I'm pretty sure came from that same session -- Dag Sandbu sent me one of Jeffrey, at that same banquet table holding a lobster, and he had others of the other band members (if I remember). I later swopped the Jeffrey pic for something else .. actually, I think I traded it with Laufi in Germany, so it might be worth contacting both Dag and Laufi.

Most of the b&w Dorchester Hotel pics will be by Barry Plummer, regular Tull photographer. He gets a credit for one of them used in the recent Aqualung special of Classic Rock [presents Prog]. Plummer definitely took no.3 at the bottom of this page -- www.tullpress.com/71.htm

Hi Steelmonkey, Yes, certainly will be contributing more from now on ;-))
Well, all photos and details that have been collected here have now been sent off to EMI who are very appreciative of our efforts. How much they will use depends heavily on licensing costs etc but at least they're now fully aware of what is available to them.
I did think about perhaps helping out a little with the liner notes. I haven't been asked to do this but I always find reading the liner notes in the CD booklets annoying if details are wrong due to poor research. Maybe between us all we could pull together info surrounding the recording of Aqualung?
I've also sent my contact links to the tullpress and ministry of information sites as there's a huge respositry of information on those pages that could be of use to them. Again, said contact was duely impressed with what he saw and will be in contact with site owners if anything can be used.
Final thought - judging by the instruments on show in the 'Island Studio' photos, looks like Tull were in the process of recording 'Mother Goose' at the time.

From www.noisecreep.comPosted on Mar 23rd 2011 by Amy SciarrettoIn the eyes of metal fans, Jethro Tull may never live down beating Metallica's '...And Justice For All' for the Best Metal/Hard Rock Performance Grammy in 1989 with 'Crest of a Knave.' Twenty-one-year-old Grammy drama aside, the Tull will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their essential 'Aqualung' album by performing it in its entirety on their upcoming summer tour. The band will also play other classics from its 30-album catalog to round out each night's set.
The touring line-up features longtime members Ian Anderson (flute, vocals, acoustic guitar) and Martin Barre (guitars), Doane Perry (drums), as well as David Goodier (bass) and pianist John O'Hara. Goodier and O'Hara joined in 2006 after working with Anderson on some of his solo projects.
In other Ian Anderson news, the singer was recently awarded an honorary Doctorate in Literature from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. That makes him Dr. Anderson to you.

Nonrabbit - regarding that review of the Port Chester concert from April 1971 have you heard the recording of that gig ( and the 1970 one too)? It was recorded by the staff at the venue onto cassette and has been posted on dimeadozen in the last year. the sound quality is superb and is by far the best sounding Aqualung tour gig I've ever heard. Interesting to note how Clive plays the Aqualung album songs in concert - very different to Barrie Barlow. No I haven't heard it but many thanks for the pointer I will put it on the list

There's an amazing amount of stuff out there - blogs -"I saw Tull in 19..." or sometimes the local newspapers in the towns the concerts are played in will have an astute reporter who finds out that wee bit more than others or an interviewer who doesn't ask the same old dross and gets Ian talking - I posted one recently which was the lengthiest intereview yet. Mind you I still think Ian should have a competition -doesn't matter what on and the first prize a day at his gaffe complete with rooting through the memoribillia. hang on maybe thats the countdown??

There may not be an official professional recording of the Aqualung tour/lineup but the Port Chester recording is about as good as audience recordings get and most importantly it's from the master tape. Can still be downloaded from www.dimeadozen.org (you'll need to sign up for a free account if not already a member and then seed to other users) Here's the info on the recording: JETHRO TULL CAPITOL THEATER, PORT CHESTER,NY,USA APRIL 27,1971 LATE SHOW CD 1 1-TALK/TUNING 2-NOTHING IS EASY 3-AQUALUNG 4-WITH YOU THERE TO HELP ME 5-SOSSITY YOU'RE A WOMAN > REASONS FOR WAITING > SOSSITY YOU'RE A WOMAN CD 2 1-MY GOD W/ FLUTE SOLO INCLUDING BOUREE 2-CROSS EYED MARY W/ DRUM SOLO 3-WIND UP W/ GUITAR SOLO 4-LOCOMOTIVE BREATH ( FADES OUT ) -Recorded by Ken & Judy Lee on a Sony pc-124 cassette deck with Sony dynamic mics on Norelco cassettes. Microphones were set up in the balcony with a 10-20 foot spread. -Original tape was baked in "Susie Q", shell replaced and transferred on a Tascam 122mk3 via a Lucid ADA1000 Analog to Digital Converter directly to disc on a Tascam CDRW700 by John Jay Hance. -Cleanup performed by Peter G with Soundforge. Received on 2 cdr's from John Jay Hance > EAC > a couple of retracking corrections with cd wave editor > trader's little helper > flac The Port Chester Restoration project Capitol Theatre- Port Chester, NY Audience recordings by Ken and Judy Lee 1970-1971 Ken and Judy Lee didn't think anyone would be interested in hearing their recordings... Between the years 1970 and 1971, Ken worked security at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, while his girlfriend Judy ran movie projections between sets. One of a few live music taping enthusiasts of the time, Ken was granted exclusive permission by club promoter Howard Stein to record the shows at the theatre for his own personal use. Judy was on hand to perform the tape flips while Ken was busy doing his job. In 1968, the couple took Judy's brother Mark, who was nine years old to his first concert at "Cafe Wha?" in New York City. The Monkees were on tour and Jimi Hendrix was along for the ride as their opening act. Several years later, Mark was introduced to the music of the Grateful Dead at the Nassau Coliseum on March 19th, 1973 in Uniondale, Long Island. This single event marked the beginning of a life long odyssey of musical experiences with the band that affected him most deeply. Along with his good friend, John Jay Hance, who Mark met at a Dead show in 1979, the two traveled around the United States with the band in search of the ultimate musical experience, attending over 350 shows together. The two also shared a common interest in seeing live music of a wide variety of genres, and during the 23 years that they knew each other attended more than 1000 total concerts together, until Mark's untimely death in November of 2002. Mark knew of brother in-law Ken's recordings from the Capitol Theatre, and had a strong interest in having the shows circulated; however, being true to his word to Howard Stein, Ken kept the recordings under wraps and the tapes never saw the light of the trading domain (One noteworthy bending of this rule occurred when Ken agreed at Mark's request to circulate the late show that the Grateful Dead did on June 24th of 1970. This show is highly regarded as an all-time magical performance by the Dead during their 30 year history as a band). It was not until John Jay, who also knew Ken Lee, and of the Port Chester tapes, ran into Ken at Mark's funeral in 2002 that the fateful discussion of having the recordings released occurred. At that time, Ken didn't think anyone would have any desire to listen to his tapes. They had been sitting up in the attic of his present home for over 20 years going through the early stages of decay. Because such a great deal of time had elapsed since Ken made his agreement with Howard Stein, and the fact that John Jay was insisting that there was an overwhelming interest by music lovers to hear these recordings, Ken agreed to open the flood gates and the Port Chester Restoration Project began, which is ultimately a tribute to Mark Cohen's passion for live music. By fortune and coincidence, John Jay Hance, a master at the art of recording and restoring live music himself had already developed his own method for preserving fragile, decaying audio tapes with a heating method commonly known as "baking." The process of restoring Ken's recordings presents an even greater challenge, however. The cassette shells which encase the audio tapes first have to be removed and replaced because they are too fragile to be played. This is extremely difficult, being that these cassettes were glued together during manufacturing (as opposed to the use of screws, today). The halves of the shell must be carefully removed without doing damage to the tape inside. Once the analog tape is restored and rebuilt, it must then be then played back one time through an analog to digital converter onto a cd, which is then cleaned of hiss and other extraneous noises. Then it can be replicated and introduced to the world of music trading. For the cleanup job, John Jay enlisted the help of "Sound Forge" software guru Peter G to help make what exists from the master tapes sound just exactly perfect. Having listened to the first installment of this project, Janis Joplin and Full Tilt Boogie from August 8, 1970 several times, I can tell you that the sound is brilliant! Keep in mind that Ken and Judy recorded nearly EVERY show at the Capitol during '70 and '71, on an estimated 300-500 cassettes (one box of cassettes is believed to be missing). While many are labeled with correct dates and the music they contain, much of what exists is still a mystery. Several gems containing long forgotten performances and musical collaborations have already surfaced. Expect some nice surprises in the years to come. Enjoy Ken and Judy's recordings from the Capitol Theatre and appreciate the great care and quality of craftsmanship that went into their creation and is currently going into their preservation.

Thanks for finding this and posting it 10cars. We await the out come of the different re-mixes and what ever new songs IA cares to add to the album. Plus the new album in 2012 and this years concerts, both solo and group - seems like it's going to be a wallet busting time for Tull fans

He's also recently remixed some tracks for a 40th anniversary remix of Caravan's "In the land of Grey and Pink"... I've been a follower of Porcupine Tree since they began! I saw them in a pub once, with about 20 people, and have all their early albums on their original label... Quite nice to see them doing so well. SW seems to be very much in demand these days... Aqualung needs it!

From www.imwan.com and posted by Phil Cohen It is known that Jethro Tull were trying out the "Aqualung" songs live even as the studio recordings were still underway, and, as the arrangements changed through those early live performances, Ian Anderson decided to re-record several songs to reflect the changed arrangements. There is also an early studio take of "My God" with Glenn Cornick on bass, but Anderson has refered to it as "A piece of s@#t", and it is unlikely he'll permit it to be released.
