This just reminds me of 1968, the very special kind of music that was around at the time, and how it felt to be aged 7. Thanks for posting this ultra-rarity.

Happy Birthday Ian Anderson born on August 10, 1947. He is a Scottish musician, singer and songwriter best known for his work as the lead vocalist, flautist, acoustic guitarist and leader of the British rock band Jethro Tull. He is a multi-instrumentalist who, in addition to flute and acoustic guitar, plays keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, bouzouki, balalaika, saxophone, harmonica and a variety of whistles.- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Anderson
Derek Lawrence later revealed in an interview (also on RUclips) that the Toe mistake resulted from his miss-hearing of the band's name in a telephone call. This ended up in a brief to the MGM record plant and hence the incorrect labelling.
Che tastiera suonano ??? Clavicembalo ?? Spinetta ?? Questo e Sunshine Day sono i brani di esordio dei JETHRO TULL (Jethro Toe in quel periodo ) infatti il primissimo nome della band compare sul 45giri etichetta MGM del 1968 lato A Sunshine Day lato B Aeroplane !!!!!
@@technic0loureddreams oh thanks. I’m one of the contributors and thought you might be too. I’ve met about half the others. Yes, we took the name from the album too. For an obscure record that was never properly released its influence has been wide reaching.
Hardly the first time this happened. There were a number of producers that did this sort of thing where they persuaded the group to play in a certain style to try and make the group into stars even though the sound was already dated or at the very least was a direct plagiarism (another good example was Genesis around the time that Jonathan King was in charge). Thankfully, Tull pulled themselves away from all of that by the time they got to This Was. Not that Airplane and Sunshine Day were bad. but they were a bit... meh... compared to what was to follow.

This kind of reminds me of the first Genesis record, very much a "baroque pop" sound that shows very little of what the band would later become.

First timer..sweet a new JT..l been away awhile..yall
That's classic!!!!!
COOL ! ! !
Somewhat weirdly, this seems The Mamas & the Papas influenced. Never thought I say that about ‘The Toe’ 😎

Awesome
Mamas & Papas vibe to a semi-Tull minstrel tune, ok.
Groovy
Wonder what that single would be worth if you could find it.
I like it Uncle Lynn
👍👍🎩🎇
What's on the flip side
Sunshine Day, also uploaded

Who plays the keys on this?
John Evans, later aka John Evan.
Sounds like they are just trying to clone the music of the day, nothing wrong with that BUT you know soon Ian would be his own man !!!
:D
Are you anything to do with the book Galactic Ramble?
No I'm not. The book was named after the obscure LP by Paramater called Galactic Ramble as far as I know. Great book though
