TULL TICKER ARCHIVE

Here you will find a 1 minute clip from each of 10 selected Tull albums on this page, as well as some notes on the album or song which you may find helpful or interesting (or maybe both!). As most CD selling websites contain only short, mediocre song samples, these good quality mp3 audio clips should help you in further making a buying decision.

In the far left column I have researched major online vendors and found the best places for you to purchase an album. Albums that are currently out of print are listed as "special order" from any reputable vendor where I could find them (Tower Records seems to track most of them), and they will send it as soon as it becomes available.

So feel free to download any of these mp3's, and support your favorite artists such as Jethro Tull by purchasing their albums...

ON TO THE MP3's!

One White Duck

A Little Light Music (Live)

1992

Special Order
Tower Records

Album Notes:

A Little Light Music was recorded while on tour in Europe. On this particular tour, Tull was comprised of only 4 members: Ian Anderson with the usual regime of instruments including harmonica, Martin Barre on guitar, Dave Pegg rounding out the bass sound, and Dave Mattiks on percussion and keyboard instruments (most notably the glockenspiel). Tull also plays a nice version of John Barleycorn... something which many fans might not have had the chance to hear from them.

Wond'ring Aloud

Aqualung

1973

Available
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

O.K., So everyone knows the classic "Aqualung", but how long has it been since you have heard one of the acoustic classics. Wond'ring Aloud is just that, a classic that was much understated in the wake of the heavy handed Aqualung and Locomotive Breath. Give it another listen, and remember the other side of this great album.

Pussy Willow

Broadsword and the Beast

1982

Available
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

As the era of synthesizers came and went, it was inevitable that Tull may experiment in this new arena, and so Broadsword and the Beast came along. Despite what some consider to be a downfall in Tull's music, this album contains many pieces of music which hold up quite well against the test of time, Pussy Willow is one of those classics.

It All Trickles Down

Bends Like A Willow (Single)

1999

Limited
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

Tull's limited edition single that came along with J-Tull Dot Com, this CD was only released in Europe through the newly formed "Papallion Records". It contains two radio edits of "Bends Like A Willow" and "Dot Com", as well as the previously unreleased "It All Trickles Down". The CD will still be available for a short time as an import at Amazon.com

She Said She Was A Dancer

Crest of a Knave

1987

To be re-released 9/12/2000
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

No one gave much notice to this Jethro Tull album that won the first ever Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Grammy, in fact, Tull was considered such a long shot, that they were not even invited to the Grammy Awards Ceremony. Well, at any rate, "She Said She Was A Dancer" is not from the "hard rocking" part of the album ( wherever that may have been).

One Brown Mouse

Heavy horses

1978

Available
Tower Records

Album Notes:

Oh, yes, the coveted Heavy Horses album. The title track of which has become a concert favorite. Yet there are other hidden gems here, and One Brown Mouse is definitely one of those gems worth taking a listen too.

Thick As a Brick

Jethro Tull in Concert

1995

Available
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

Another live album, this one included the full and more familiar five person concert lineup. Accordingly, this album contains more traditional arrangements common in concert settings. This is the strongest live album I have heard from Tull in the past few decades, a must buy if you are into live stuff.

Up The Pool

Living in the Past

1972

Available
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

Although the CD version of "Living in The Past" released by Chrysalis Records cuts out some of the material from the original double LP, this is still a strong CD with many highs to speak of. You seem to fall in love with this one all over again with each and every listen. To the credit of the record company, there is a double CD version of this album availible with all the fixings and more, but you might have to look around for it. If you want to know where to find it, as availability changes too often for me to put a link here. The above link is for the single CD.

Broadford Bazaar

Nightcap

1993

Available
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

In 1973, the band recorded material in a location near Paris, known as Chateau D'Herouville which was was never published until this CD set came out. This double CD set includes not only the Chateau tapes, but also a second CD full of rare and unreleased tracks which were not included on past albums, subsequently, these tracks span almost two decades of work. The clip "Broadford Bazaar" (originally recorded in 1978) is from the "Rare and Unreleased" portion of the set.

Another Christmas Song

Rock Island

1989

Available
Amazon.com

Album Notes:

Sequels are not traditionally all that great, I mean take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for instance, but Ian Anderson is not a crime fighting turtle, and he sure did something right here. Another Christmas Song seems to strike a chord with many people. This whole album has a very unique, far away feeling to it, and this song seems to bring the whole thing together.
