(1968)

VERY RARE "MONO" ISSUE

ORIGINAL PRESSING!!

RARE THICK SPINED GATEFOLD SLEEVE!!

Jethro Tull released the bluesy album This Was in 1968. In addition to music written by Anderson and Abrahams the album included the traditional "Cat's Squirrel", which highlighted Abraham's blues-rock style. The Rahsaan Roland Kirk-penned jazz piece "Serenade to a Cuckoo" gave Anderson a showcase for his growing talents on the flute, an instrument which he started learning to play only half a year before the release of the album. The overall sound of the group at this time was described in the Record Mirror by Anderson in 1968 as "a sort of progressive blues with a bit of jazz".

An Original Pink Island label album in exceptional condition

The disc carries no matric other than the album number and A&B.

RECORD GRADING        8       The spine has a slight dent as you can see in the picture but over all great condition

10: Mint… Perfect record, clean gloss, no marks, beautiful in every way. Very few records will make mint.
9: Mint-… Very clean, only a few light marks. A great record.
8: Condition between 7 and 9. But closer to 9
7: VG+… Used, but not abused. Light scratches only. Should play, and look very nice with minimal surface noise.
6: VG… Still has good sound . Looks a bit used, light scratches, no gouges, still plays well, some surface noise.
5: VG-… A bit rough but will play ok. Fills the collection.
4: G… Plays very rough. Has multiple scratches. What a bargain!!
3-2-1: It only goes down from here.

All records come in a plain white sleeve unless the description states it still has the original sleeve with it.
