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.

I would recommend Living in the Past to people unfamiliar with Tull. It is an essential classic in my opinion, and even better with the original LP cover.

I think your right Journeyman that it is a good recommendation for a Tull newbie but I don't think it's got the essential "essence of Tull" that grabs you and makes you a life long fan. I still have mine (of course) - it's a bit like a photo album that I don't look at much. I'm not too sure what I think about LITP now - I enjoyed it when I first heard it but by it's very nature of being a compilation album and the classic however a bit sombre presentation cover it didn't excite me as much as hearing Aqualung and TAAB for the first time. (Benefit's cover didn't exactly blow my mind however the songs did!) But then LITP wasn't aimed at that,I suppose. I do remember thinking that I got my money's worth though as a double album with 50 odd photographs. Anyone remember how much it would have cost to buy in the early 70's?

When I was in high school, I used to lend my copies of Thick as a Brick and Aqualung to friends who listened to bands like Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, etc. Most of them had never heard of them or was only vaguely familiar with them. Some of them really took to it, sort of excited about how different it was.
I never did lend out Living in the Past, but I'm sure it could turn out some new fans. It has a lot of diversity from loud hard percussion driven rock to soft acoustic melodies, blues, jazzy tunes, sometimes getting close to psychedelic rock. It's a pretty consistently good listen and I think would appeal to a lot of music fans, but I might just be biased because I like it so much.

Kai My Aqualung album has someone's name on it (not Kai) a certain James C....gan - no idea how that happened Seriously, I didn't know anyone by that name so I reckon that album has changed hands a bit. James if your still out there and still looking for your Tull album join the Forum and we'll have a ceremonial " passing of the album" thread

I used to buy a lot of LPs from the record store in the town I used to live in. They had the $1 and $3 LP sections, and there used to be plenty of Tull (they must have been pretty popular once upon a time). Anyway, I would buy a few a week, because you could find a lot of cool stuff that would be hard to get on CD, and there is this one "Wolf" fellow who has his name on about 20 of my albums. I guess we have similar taste. It would be interesting to start a campaign to find this James character

Personally, I think it is a travesty that the songs from Living in the Past are being split up and thrown on remasters of other albums. I've always considered LitP as an album, not some anthology. Yes, I am well aware that the songs came from different sessions, but I love the album in and of itself. It has its own feeling and mood (it may sound strange, but it is one of my autumn/winter albums). A five star album in my book, a superb snapshot of the first four years of Tull, and worthy of a remaster and release.

It has its own feeling and mood (it may sound strange, but it is one of my autumn/winter albums). A five star album in my book, a superb snapshot of the first four years of Tull, and worthy of a remaster and release. Originally the LITP double album was, so I read years ago, issued by Chrysalis as a "catch up" for new American fans which was why so many UK issued singles were on the album. But I do agree that the album should stand as one of the very best early compilations of the band's work. There were a few permutations of the album issued over the years but the basic album is in many ways a high point of all things Tull from the viewpoint of when it was originally issued. The listing below was published many years ago on the web and is indicative of how the album was repackaged over the years - out of date now of course but a sign back then of how popular the album was.

One of the albums that helped start my Tull addiction in 1972 (it was in stores featured with TAAB). The gold set is the best on CD for now. The US single CD edition is close enough in sound. Some stuff is muffled and flat. (look out below) forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/best-jethro-tull-stand-up.78883/page-3#post-1749465Guys, Learn. MUFFLED AND FLAT? That's what the friggin' tapes sound like. Wake up. Grab those old discs. Do your own remastering. Don't let someone else's over-mastering ruin 'em!!!!! You should know this by now just from hanging out here! - Steve Hoffman ...and a good morning to all...too Tull

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.

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.

Yeah, I remember when an average month of Tull media coverage totaled the miniscule ad in the back pages of rolling stone offering an iron-on Stand-Up t-shirt logo for 50 cents plus postage.

Can't remember what day of the week Melody Maker and Sounds were published (Thursday ? - someone must remember) and the spending of my lunch break in WH Smiths in Sutton buying those two music papers and buying a vinyl recording or two from the record counter.
Always tends to bring back a feeling of innocent days and a sense of the "freedom", if that's the correct use of the word.

Evokes hours idling in front of the cutout bin, spending considerable time deciding which record deserves my $1.99. Oh happy days, looking thru bins I had already memorized in hopes of a surprise or two. I mean...was or was not a double album by Manassas worth &1.99 ?

Oh yes, well remembered. The hours I spent going through the cheap record bins for perfectly good albums and the main reason they were there was because the album sleeve had gone missing or had been damaged in the shop store room. Over here in the UK the record companies would replace such things as a damaged or missing cover if you wrote to them and said you'd "lost the cover at a party" - and it was a free service provided by them.

Hmmm... I don't remember record companies making good on damaged covers but i did know a guy with an amputated leg who got us all free, high quality, unmatched skis by writing all the ski manufacturers about his hamdicap and requesting a single ski, for free....His name was Joe Reum and though grateful for the free skis ( one K2, One Fisher) I hated him cuz girls gave him attention just beacuse he only had one leg...I wonder what happened to Joe Reum.

The sleeve I most regret not looking after is the one discussed on this thread, the LITP gatefold sleeve, it was made out of a beautiful velvet type material, a lovely thing actually, and as said, wonderful photo's inside. Happy Days.......

The small record labels such as Topic (the folk music label), Transatlantic, Emi's Harvest label and the Dandelion label did it as I got sleeves from them as it was always the small eclectic labels that never seemed to sell in outlets such as WH Smith and as a consequence got pushed to the back on the shelves in the store room and damaged.

I thought we had a thread dedicated to the Record Shop/Store however when I searched they're mentioned lots of threads - sad lot that we are. So I thought I'd stick this great video of Tower Record Los Angeles, 1973 in here for nostalgic reference. Look at the prices, the stacks of vinyl's, the handwritten cardboard signs and the way one of the servers expertly flips them over before sticking them on the counter. archive.org/details/casacsh_000018
