LIVING IN THE PAST

This was originally a collection of B-sides from singles, live tracks and a few previously released songs. The album came in a nice book style sleeve. And it was, and is a great album. It encompasses the history of Tull up to that point, and contains much for the casual and serious Tull fan.

First and formost is the now classic title track. Anderson has since declared that he never liked the arrangement, but still, it's a great song. Sweet Dream, Singing All Day and For Later all bring up fine memories of the early seventies for me. And the live tracks, mostly jams, demonstate the wildness of Tull at that time.

An easy 4 stars.
