Indefinite retirement? I'm thinking I've missed something along the way. Holly, After the seeming critical bashing that A Passion Play and Tull took during and after the '73 tour they decided to 'retire'. Ian later cited this as a record compnay management ploy to have a go at the press. As with several such 'management' decisons the stories vary over the years. Tull took time out and were working in Warchild as two distinctly separate projects, the band recording, and the much hyped movie. Parts of the movie soundtrack has been released here and there, most notably Warchild Waltz on the warchild remaster and I beleive Warchild onthe David/Dee Palmer LSO Classic case release. The synopsis of the movie was set out elsewhere on The Board by Jeff, I will try to find it and post the link. The movie never saw the light of day. You youngsters, you need to keep up with us old 'uns  |

Hey, hey, hey! Hey. haha. I'm better than some others twice my age, they say, "Oh Jethro Tull, they're back together?" or "He's still alive?" I guess I should ask more questions so I'm just as up to speed as the oldsters here! ha.
Neat, I want to hear the plot.

Another courtesy of Mac.  Some new stuff over at The Manual, inlcuding some nice new scans of some of Charlie's albums from around the world including this Portugese TaaB  More at www.theboyscoutmanual.com/galleries/?id=854Thanks Mac. Looks very familiar. Good to see the full size article. Maybe it was the 25th anniversary book? |

Another one from that same NME period of November 1974, this piece by Charles Shaar Murray; someone considered by some as one of the UK's top rock writers. A sort of UK Lester Bangs but without a love of Tull  Again supplied by Mac www.theboyscoutmanual.com/galleries/?id=863 |

Have to admit to loving wading through other peoples memorabillia, another of the bundle of pieces sent over by Mac; An interview with Ian from The Sunday Post, dated November 20th 1977. By 1977, the 1975 line from Baker Street Muse "I have no motor-car' was seemingly redundant......A chauffeur driven Bentley...  www.theboyscoutmanual.com/galleries/?id=865 |

Melody maker - December 7th 1974 - Courtesy of Mac Ray Coleman Article/Interview. Where Ian states that Jethro Tull is a democratic outfit that could continue without him....Hmmmmm! Well that quote seems to reinforce what we have suspected and he has since denied (Im imagining, out of necessity for current promotional purposes in the most recent circumstances) That the band, Martin, John, Barrie and Jeffrey, are truly able to compose and arrange a lot of the instrumental music that back up Ian's songs. This is not a bash on Ian in anyway I think it's mostly the misunderstanding that most people have about music in general. A song consists of lyrics and chords. That is what gets sent to a music licensing org. So the songwriter is credited and receives royalties. ie:composed by Ian Anderson. The "backing band" in whatever form that may be, (could be an Orchestra with an arranger) add their parts on their own. In a band like Tull in the seventies, there was probably a lot of collaboration and back and forth on how this will sound and that would go and included Ian, I doubt the roles were all that clearly defined aside from Ian definitely being the initial composer. So: Arranged by Jethro Tull. Even though this subject has been gone over before, in my own (sometimes feeble) mind that's what he was saying. Of course the band was not going to really go to far without a fabulous front man like Ian. Then again Ian needs some good players behind him, and he surely had them back then. The roles that the current band play are I'm guessing, much different. Not better or worse they are just being asked to fill a more clearly set role and that is of performers, and they're very good at it. Darin Cody |

Thanks again to Mac for supplying such a wealth of press articles. November 1974 - appearing in various if not all UK music papers.  There were large quad sheets fly-posted across London as part of this ad campaign, I tried desperately to recover one from the corrugated tin fence next to a still undeveloped bomb-site at London Bridge to no avail, did anyone out there get one? |

Imagine if he was actually accepted into the police force. Would this board even exist right now. What would we all be doing instead. Like the butterfly effect.

Posting this today as it falls between a few relevent dates, yesterday 31st March saw the WHO play Charlton in 1976, a lousy day weather wise but a gig to remember for many reasons including a blistering set, Kieth Moon's last public gig with the WHO in the UK [where the punters paid for tickets] and a lightshow ahead of it's time. It was also once identified as the loudest gig ever in the Guinness book of records. The gig made the following weeks front cover of NME along with the news that Ian Anderson just wants to be loved......  The need to share such memorabilllia between me and my brother meant that anything with a joint WHO/TULL interest normally had to be bought twice. However this is from his collection and his note to me said 'Sorry I don't have the Tull insert' but if I'm right I do, so I'll post it as soon as I can locate it and scan it. |

I don't have a second favorite. I like a lot of music but I like it all the same. There's Tull then there's the other.
I've learned a lot from these articles. A couple, I had to make it really big, zoom in, use my magnifying glass, spectacles, monocle, and telescope but it was so worth it. Thanks!

Holly, if you visit the Boy Scout Manual on your PC to view them you have the option of opening up the full size image or using a magnifying tool. The magnifying facility doesn't yet work on tablet devices, but we are working on it. You can open the larger image on them though and they should be readable. Another helpful, handy and free hint from your friendly neighbourhood Tull memorabilia supplier.  |

September 13th 1975 - A pretty favourable review by Barbara Charone in SOUNDS music paper. However, Barbara Charone manages to get a few unnecessary jibes in at past album successes and a couple of unwarranted digs few band members.  Again the review kindly supplied by MAC.
