Cat chilling with Tull 🙂

And the mouse police chose to sleep😅 Got my copy this week. Like you it was a no brainer for me.

I'm already amazed all these book boxsets ever saw the light of day, knowing how reluctant Ian has been in the past to add 'disregarded' original material to any release. It's like he was ashamed of what he found to be 'mistakes' during recording sessions. We all know Ian Anderson is a bit of a perfectionist and he always wanted what he considered the best songs or the best versions of songs appearing on an album. But Ian is, besides a perfectionist, also a genius and a lot of the material he considered unworthy was in fact often on par with what had been originally released. I'm glad he changed his mind in the end, although I'm now wondering what other gems Ian held back on that might expose his 'flaws'. Cheerio amigo.

@@JimmyRJumpthe divide between artist and fan is this, fans WANT to hear the mistakes and value them. I love the studio Quatrain where Ian screws up the mandolin part and says “oh fuck sorry !” I like knowing our heroes are human and can make mistakes too.

WTF? you dont Play ANY OF IT???
