B        Aeroplane

In the back end of the 1960s, the music scene had exploded thanks to the Beatles (what became of them?), the British Invasion, Hendrix, Zeppelin, the underground – everything was GROOOOVEY !!
Everyone wanted to be part of it, including some unlikely lads from Blackpool, Lancashire. Heading from gig to gig, line up to line up, studio to studio, up and down the M1, the 24-hour solace of the Blue Boar service station.... legends were starting to form, Genesis, Yes, Floyd and of course JETHRO TULL.
This is an opportunity to buy a REPRODUCTION of Clive Bunker's personal acetate, found in a dusty box in his attic, which was recorded in October 1968, sometime after Tull’s first album, but before the second. It contains two unreleased tracks, with no titles. Whilst there is some dispute on who is playing on it, the recordings have been authenticated as Jethro Tull by a world-renowned Tull expert.  
The band are rough and ready.... Ian’s legendary flute playing, whilst in its infancy, is very present.
This is a rare piece of Tull history – the chance to buy one of these 7” singles won’t happen again – order yours today!!
