Genre: Prog rock
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records (Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Living In The Past
Gear costume: All the rest
Active compensatory factors: This is another case of me re-buying an album bought in the seventies and shedded along the way in the eighties or nineties.
I had a hankering for it again a few years ago and found a copy before heading to the UK to live.
The title track is the real deal and one of those songs that I love every time I hear it. The timelessness and other worldly aspect of the song makes it a special one in the Jethro Tull canon.
Where do they all belong? The rest of the double album is a compilation of singles, live tracks and unreleased songs from their early career. It doesn't quite hang together as a whole and is a bit of an anomaly in the greater scheme of things. But it's still fun and the package is a lavish one.
