This Was is the debut studio album by Jethro Tull, released in October 1968. Recorded at a cost of £1200, it is the only Jethro Tull album with guitarist Mick Abrahams, who was a major influence for the sound and music style of the band's first songs. When the album was released the band was already performing at the Marquee Club in London, where other successful British groups, such as the Rolling Stones and the Who, had started their careers. This Was received generally favourable reviews and sold well upon its release. Record Mirror thoroughly recommended the album in 1968 for being "full of excitement and emotion" and described the band as a blues ensemble capable of setting "the audience on fire". 1968 original release Side one1."My Sunday Feeling"Ian Anderson3:432."Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You"Anderson2:493."Beggar's Farm"Mick Abrahams, Anderson4:194."Move on Alone"Abrahams1:585."Serenade to a Cuckoo" (Instrumental)Roland Kirk6:07 Side two1."Dharma for One" (Instrumental)Anderson, Clive Bunker4:152."It's Breaking Me Up"Anderson5:043."Cat's Squirrel" (Instrumental)Traditional, arranged by Abrahams5:424."A Song for Jeffrey"Anderson3:225."Round" (Instrumental)Anderson, Abrahams, Bunker, Glenn Cornick, Terry Ellis1:03 Jethro TullIan Anderson – lead vocals (all except track 4), flute, mouth organ, claghorn, pianoMick Abrahams – lead vocals (track 4), co-lead vocals (track 2), backing vocals, electric guitar, nine-string guitarGlenn Cornick – bass guitarClive Bunker – drums, percussion hooter, charm bracelet Additional musiciansDee Palmer – French horn and orchestral arrangements_____________________________________________Shipping: Calculated domestic shipping via Media Mail or Priority Mail.

I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.Feel free to contact me with any specific questions.
