LIVING IN THE PAST

"Living in the past" is a compilation of JETHRO TULL's singles from 1968 to 1972, most of these singles didn't make part of any of the studio albums of the band and that gives it a very original profile.

The CD that I own in my collection has a slightly different track-list than the one that is registered in this website but that doesn't change too much my opinion about the album: this album is great since most of the songs that it contains (obviously similar to the ones that appear in their first three albums) truly deserved to become part of a long playing record.

Songs as "Christmas song", "Sweet dream", Singing all day", "Witches promise" and of course the title track "Living in the past" have become favorites in several concerts of the band along the years. The live performances "Be my kind permission of" and "Dharma for one" that occupied a whole of the four sides of the LP set captured the essence of the band on stage (something that would be later extended in several posthumously published live albums).

Most of the songs of this album were recorded on the same days of "This was", "Stand up" and "Benefit"; I ranked all of those albums with four stars so it is only fair that this album gets the same rate, no more, no less.
