Jethro Tull`s first album, THIS WAS, recorded and released in 1968, shows a band that is a far cry from their better-known incarnation as a prog rock outfit in the late 1970s. Instead, Tull come across here as a solid and talented blues band with elements of jazz, folk, and psychedelia thrown in. The band`s sound was heavily influenced by guitarist, singer, and songwriter Mick Abrahams, whose bluesy singing and leads distinguish this disc in Tull`s discography. Frontman Ian Anderson also shines with tunes like "Some Day the Sun Won`t Shine for You" and the excellent cover of Rashaan Roland Kirk`s "Serenade to a Cuckoo." A collector`s edition, released in 2008, features a new stereo mix of the album and four early singles added as bonus tracks.
