5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite side of Tull, May 8, 2007
By Ashton "informed consumer" (New York State, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a devoted Jethro Tull fan for 30 ++ years, I have always been partial to acoustic Tull, and I believe in his pre-golden years, Ian is too!! The set list could not be better. I highly recommend this collection to anyone who knows there is more to Jethro Tull then Aqualung and Locomotive Breath!

5.0 out of 5 stars genuine and eccentric , May 9, 2007
By haregrog "haregrog" (Wilmington, NC United States) - See all my reviews
If you're looking for just the greatest hits, you wouldn't go for this one first. But the acoustic side of Tull is an essential part of the Tull canon, and this collection represents an idea that has been decades overdue. The acoustic format allows for a combination of genuine expressiveness and Tull's patented eccentric creativity. That said, some of these great acoustic pieces are latter-day re-workings, and they tend to be inferior to the originals, interesting primarily to collectors. But many of these songs are the original tracks, beautifully remastered. So there's a lot here for the afficionados, and it's not a bad place to start for the curious.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hoping for more, June 11, 2007
When I heard that Jethro Tull was coming out with an all acoustic CD, I could hardly wait. I was hoping for a nice flow of some re-mixed and/or updated acoustic material. But alas, the quality is as if the songs were taken right off the "older" albums and put directly on the CD. It's nice to have a lot of my favorites on one CD, but I just can't get past the fact that I was "hoping for more crispness" in the guitar strings.
