Jethro Tull : Living in The Past (Expanded Edition)





AND YOU KNOW

 I'D LOVE YOU

AND ABOVE YOU

THERES NO OTHER



Living in the Past 

is a double LP

 compilation album

 by 

Jethro Tull

 released in 1972.

 It collects album tracks, 

outtakes 

and

 several 

standalone singles

 spanning the band's

 career up to

 that point. 

Also included are

 the 1971 

"Life Is a Long Song" EP 

and two

 Live Recordings 

taken from a 

performance at 

New York City's

 Carnegie Hall 

in November 1970.

Details

The album was

 named after the 

single released in

 May 1969 

and was released

 in an elaborate

 gate-fold packaging 

that contained a 

large color 

photo booklet 

with over

 50 photos

 of the band.

Two songs,

 "By Kind Permission Of" 

and

 "Dharma for One", 

were recorded live

 at Carnegie Hall

 in New York City, 

United States.

 The former would be

 extended to include 

"With You There To Help Me" 

and would be

 included in 

complete form, 

along with

 "Dharma For One",

 on the separate LP

 release

 Live At 

Carnegie Hall 1970

 (2015).

"Love Story", 

"Christmas Song",

 "Living in the Past",

 "Driving Song", 

"Sweet Dream" 

and 

"The Witch's Promise",

 some of which

 had only appeared 

on mono 

versions before, 

were given

 new stereo mixes 

for inclusion

 on the album. 

Additionally,

 "A Song for Jeffrey" 

and

 "Teacher" 

were also remixed. 

Many of the tracks

 only appeared as

 British releases 

before being

 compiled on

 Living in the Past 

for the first time

 in the 

American market. 

Spurred on by 

radio airplay

 of the single, 

"Living in the Past", 

US rock fans 

who bought the album

 were treated to

 three years of

 UK releases.
