Jethro Tull: Ian Anderson (vocals, flute, clag horn, mouth organ, piano); Mick Abrahams (guitar, background vocals); Glenn Cornick (bass); Clive Bunker (drums). Producers: Terry Ellis, Jethro Tull. Recorded at Sound Techniques Studio, London, England between June 13 and August 23, 1968. Jethro Tull's first album is a debut of incredible maturity that fitted in nicely between blues and prog. Guitarist Mick Abrahams was the darling of the UK rock clubs, and for a brief moment held a candle to Clapton, especially with his showpiece "Cat's Squirrel". Abrahams soon left to form Blodwyn Pig. Singer Ian Anderson, the undisputed leader, wore a ratty overcoat, played flute, and pranced like a mad elf. Live they were tremendous, and on record they got even better. "Song For Jeffrey" was the choice single. Other interesting tracks are the flute-led "Serenade For a Cuckoo" (written by Roland Kirk) and "Dharma For One", with that greatest of rarities--an interesting drum solo.

I add new listings most days..........please take a look

All items carefully graded audio-visually, and are played on a high quality system.

I usually begin items at a low price to generate interest and bidding.....................

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I realize the requirements in the gradings of sleeves and discs , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised in listings ........I grade the discs (using The UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition..................

I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as 'Stunning!! Rare!! Awsome!!, padded out with grossly long winded descriptions , many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and incorrect to actual facts , and would be laughable , but for the fact that it is misleading........ I take time and care to grade items correctly and only list quality records, with concise and accurate grading descriptions......................

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest!) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists live too (I saw The Beatles twice........and Segovia!)

I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell , having bought copies of my own at the time of issue , always interested in the label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to help.

Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount (over 2200) of my feedbacks are from repeat customers (many thanks).........and in the event of genuine complaints I will remedy the situation as soon as possible......
