Just got back from The Boy Scout Manual. One word : WOW!!!!!!!
William
Thanks for the complement, we're slowly getting there, so much still to upload. There is some great stuff to come. I just need to find those extra couple of hours a day that I was promised once.
We've just upgraded to a couple of A3 scanners between Derek and me and we're currently building up a hefty backlog of material.
and.....
expect an upgrade on the viewing section soon allowing you to read the documents at a larger scale, the watermark is being reduced and made more transparent,
and.....
we have something very nice planned for the audio/video sections soon which might address a few requests that were made on the board recently.

We've been Jump Started, because we refuse to be towed away.
It's taken a few months to sort out a few glitches behind the scenes, and a few more new bells and whistles to be added for your delight and enjoyment.
The biggest improvement will be the addition of Tull's most avid collector and all round good guy Charlie to help me out at The Boy Scout Manual. Charlie will be joining me in the uploading and management of the site in the future. We are looking forward to expanding and making The Manual the best possible memorabillia site that we can.
Over in the bells and whistles department, for all new uploads there will be an option to view in higher resolutions than previously available. The addiitonal image viewer operates by hovering the cursor above the image allowing the viewer to read text and see greater detail. It won't initially apply to the images that have already been uploaded, but these will be updated over time.
We are also introducing a new section called 'The Memory Bank', it will be live soon but it will be a little time before we upload fully to it. We are sure that it will bring some new dimensions to the enjoyment of memorabillia and Tull history for our members and Tull fans.

Great news, thanks Pat! I'm sure that with the help of Charlie the manual is going to be even better. I think we are all at your disposal if you need our help

Lots of new stuff added over at The Manual, including many rare editions of This Was and a whole range of vinyl and CD boots etc, a huge debt of thanks to Charlie for uploading stuff.
Just added this piece of signed artwork for Tull's gig at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium on Sunday 27th June 1971.

Also take a look in the Bungle In The Jungle Section. I have uploaded some Press Kits there as well. I have a few more to add in the coming days, and weeks.

Manual update
Charlie has been working his nuts off adding pieces to The Manual, and it's building up nicely thank you.
The singles section alone is probably looking like the most complete and structured worldwide discography of Tull 7" releases around. Other sections are filling out as well.
Ever wondered what the 7" Argentinian 'Fly by night' looks like? Or, what oddity it was coupled with, then pop over and check it out.

Apart from all the wonderful goodies Charlie's been adding lately, and the promise of some new sections; We've also expanded the section for Tribute band memorabilia.
We've already started to list a few known band's in the "Glory Row" section, so if you are in, have been in, or know of a tribute band that might want to add a few things let us know.

If you haven't dropped by the manual lately pop over and have a look, The singles section alone is worth the trip.
Charlie has done an incredible amount of uploading over there and I doff my cap to him! Thanks also to Darin for his help on a few recent developments.
In the meantime here's a few tasters from my vaults.
This single is probably the reason why i got into Tull. I had heard of them before via a schoolfriend, he had mentioned the name a few times and I mentioned it to a girlfriend of the time, who offered me her singles, this was one of them. Sadly, in her efforts to assist she kindly corrected the mistake on the label.....in pen. Thanks heavens she didn't correct the other version she gave me credited to Ian Henderson
This version was issued with the 'A Christmas Song' label on both sides. Still Thanks to Marion though, however, the Tull fixation lasted longer than we did.
Here's a direct link to the singles page at The Manual
