EXEMPT FROM CLASSIFICATION<br/><br/><br/>Ian Anderson says...<br/><br/>"After 53 years since its original issue, this collection with the Steven Wilson re-mixes and surround sound upgrades is a splendid addition to the Tull album series. It was conceived at the time primarily to update the Tull story for US and European audiences who might not have had the benefit of the many songs which had already reached UK fans' ears. <br/> <br/>I recall the recordings of many of these songs with surprising clarity and some I can still play from memory without a moment of hesitation. Quirky in some instances and covering a range of musical styles, it shows off my attempts to broaden my writing and arranging and develop beyond the more rocky and bluesy origins of the band. My mandolin and acoustic guitar tracks are amongst my personal favourites.<br/> <br/>Consisting of singles A-sides and B-sides plus a variety of songs including the EP "Life Is A Long Song", it brings together the many tracks recorded between the releases of the first three albums and the album "Thick As A Brick". And, of course, the live concert recorded at Carnegie Hall in NYC reflects the band performance in all its 1970 glory. <br/> <br/>I am so happy to have this material made available again and hats off to the team at Parlophone/Warner Music as well as the contributors who made other all happen."
