In 1972, Ian Anderson wrote and recorded the Jethro Tull Progressive Rock classic album ‘Thick As A Brick’. The lyrics were credited at the time to the fictitious child character, Gerald Bostock, whose parents supposedly lied about his age. The record instantly became a number one Billboard Chart album and enjoyed considerable success in many countries of the world.
The 40th Anniversary Edition features a new 5.1 stereo mix, mixed by Steven Wilson, plus a DVD containing DTS & Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix, high quality stereos 96/24 (new mix and 1972 flat transfer).

‘Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square’ from ‘Stand Up’. Maybe I chose that just because of the way Ian Anderson pronounces ‘Leicester’ as ‘Leester’…

Dublin, Ireland. ‘Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square’ from ‘Stand Up’. Maybe I chose that just because of the way Ian Anderson pronounces ‘Leicester’ as ‘Leester’…

“Bouree” is my fav!
Why?
1/ It has musical notation that Ian Anderson created to accomodate his unique style.
2/ It is so fun!
3/ It is the only song by a rock group that I ever learned to play! As a teenager, I spent a short time learning to play the flute. So, of course I had to try to learn Bouree! And I did, no where as good as Ian but hey, it was fun!!
Thank you…
Sincerely,
Brad

Obviously “Living in the past”! When Tull visited Dublin it was as a god for us utterly useless, way too young, hippies. A man on stage, playin the flute and standing on one leg! Brilliant, especially considering most of us were legless at the same time! Ahh the good old days…..

So difficult to choose one so I have to say “Thick as a brick” for their audacity to produce music with an unusual breath of 40 minutes, at a time when bands hardly bet on pieces with more than 5 minutes.
“Locomotive breath” by the incredible force that Jethro Tull used to close their shows, and “Songs from the wood” by crossing the english folk that it’s always present in their musics but just assumed there properly.

I live in Athens, Tennessee. My favorite Jethro Tull song is ‘With You There To Help Me’ from the album Benefit. So many good albums from Tull it was a tough choice. Thanks for all the great music Ian & Co.!

It’s so hard to choose from Tull’s whole discography. When I was a kid, “Broadsword & The Beast” played magically in my imagination due to my love for fantasy (i.e., Piers Anthony’s Xanth Series, Dungeons and Dragons). I would listen to ‘Pussy Willow’ over and over again. There was just something about the driving of the verse that I loved. My brother, being 10 years older than I, was an absolute Tull fanatic. I loved looking at his record jackets and it’s because of him that I became so entranced with Tull and many other prog-ish bands of the time. These days I’m a huge Porcupine Tree/ Steven Wilson fan, so it all ties together with the remastering of “Thick As A Brick”. I can’t wait to discover this album all over again.

Life long Tull fan and raised that way since my early-70′s childhood. “Skating Away”. Once I hear it, which is not often enough, it rings in my head for days. The chorus is looping in my head, even now, as I type.

My favorite song is “Witches Promise”.

Locomotive Breath. The first Tull song I heard and still my favorite.
Rex Little Sunday 21 October 2012
Aqualung … hands down. That deep deep voice and a ballad to boot.
Paul Harding Sunday 21 October 2012
Wow, so many classic songs to choose from! After much deliberation, I’ve decided on Minstrel in the Gallery because it was one of the first Tull songs I heard, and it truly ROCKS!
Oh, and I live in York, UK.

Bungle in the jungle…it is on high rotation on my 70s style juke box!
Have fun.

Thick as a Brick. Saw them play here and loved the way Thick as a Brick went on and on and…

Has to be “Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square” although we are all spoiled for choice after 40 productive years from the band.
I live in Loanhead, Midlothian, Scotland
Vanessa Oliveira Tuesday 23 October 2012
Bourée, because it was the first song that my father showed me. I’ve listened to the whole discography, but that song is still the one.
I live in Porto, Portugal.

I’ve always liked this band – ‘Aqualung’ has been a longtime favorite. Fort Wayne, IN USA
Leslie Ebner Tuesday 23 October 2012
Mother Goose! I was fortunate enough to see Tull in Concert on several occasions. They never failed to amaze with their kick ass talent!
Connor Rohan Tuesday 23 October 2012
Thick as a Brick Part I is my favorite. First heard this song on my friend’s porch last summer and I was blown away by the beautiful use of diverse instrumentation.
I live in Albany, NY, USA

Budapest. A beautiful song of curiosity and admiration, while maintaining strength of mind. I love the flirting instrumentals.

I’d have to say (by heavy prompting from the husband) it’s A New Day Yesterday on the stand Up album. Those are our high school days……ahhh the memories
We’re in El Paso Tex and must have seen them 4 or 5 times in the 70′s
Thanks for the fab opportunity!!!!
