Review

Q (7/99, p.140) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It's a band escaping from its bedroom blues, experimenting with the free progressive vibe, dipping into some officially crazy jazz structures and coming up with a sound that's unique....THIS WAS caught [TULL] at the peak of their unbridled creativity."

Title Note

Jethro Tull: Ian Anderson (vocals, flute, clag horn, mouth organ, piano); Mick Abrahams (guitar, background vocals); Glenn Cornick (bass); Clive Bunker (drums).

Producers: Terry Ellis, Jethro Tull.

Reissue producers: Jo Brooks, Nigel Reeve.

Recorded at Sound Techniques Studio, London, England between June 13 and August 23, 1968. Includes liner notes by Ian Anderson.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Jethro Tull's first album THIS WAS, is a debut of incredible maturity that fitted in nicely between blues and prog. Guitarist Mick Abrahams was the darling of the UK rock clubs, and for a brief moment held a candle to Clapton, especially with his showpiece "Cat's Squirrel". Abrahams soon left to form Blodwyn Pig. Singer Ian Anderson, the undisputed leader, wore a ratty overcoat, played flute, and pranced like a mad elf. Live they were tremendous, and on record they got even better. "Song For Jeffrey" was the choice single. Other interesting tracks are the flute-led "Serenade For a Cuckoo" (written by Roland Kirk) and "Dharma For One", with that greatest of rarities--an interesting drum solo.
