Good morning all
I've acquired an original studio tape from the Aqualung Sessions at Island Studios, dated February 1971.
I am told the versions of the 5 tracks on this tape are different to those on the final album release.
I am currently in the process of having the tape transferred into a digital format. I will post updates on here to keep you all in the loop.
Having read the interviews on the Q&A section, I think this may be one of the missing tapes featuring recordings that were scrapped or recorded over on the original multitrack tape. The tape is still held in its original Island Studios cardboard box, clearly listing the client as Chrysalis, Band as Jethro Tull, and date as Feb 1972.
I look forward to your comments
Best wishes

I look forward to your comments Best wishes Hi fylingdaleflyer and welcome to the JT Forum The problem I feel that you may have is to find out who actually owns this tape. If it does turn out to be a "lost" session from Aqualung then legally I feel that Ian Anderson should be informed of your find together with information as to how you acquired the tape. Do let us know how you get on.

I have looked into the legalities of this tape and have been advised that I legally own the tape, but not the contents of it, so have no right to broadcast or distribute it etc.
My plan is to make contact with Ian if it does turn out to be anything special. I will also mount the box and reel in a frame to display alongside the gold disc awards I have.

What a great find if it reveals jewels beyond the versions already re-fluffed and distributed. I was surprised when 'Tomorrow Was Today' came out as a War Child era extra. Live snippets date back to Aqualung tour, I think.
