Great Idea!

I love the idea of "Lost, hidden and Rare tracks" because it will give us a chance to hear even MORE from our favourite bands that we might never know existed.

As a starter. I know there are a lot of Jethro Tull fans out there on AM.

Prior to the release of "A Passion Play", Tull were in the studio in France at the Chateau D'Herouville recording the follow up to "Thick as a Brick". Due to a combination of Ill-Health, Technical and Production problems and the bands sudden decision to return to the UK from Tax exile, the recordings were never finished. Rather than continue with these pieces they started recording "A Passion Play" and the Chateau recordings went into Tull folk-lore as the "Chateau D'Isaster Tapes".

These recordings were finally made available on the double compilation album "Nightcap" and listening to them you can hear where a lot of the themes which appeared on "A Passion Play" came from.

The second CD of the set contains a lot more Unreleased and Rare tracks.

For me, stand out tracks on the Chateau Tapes are, Look at the Animals and the 3 parter-Scenario, Audition and No Rehearsal.

Die Hard Tull fans will probably have these in their collections but they may be of interest to others who are not "Completists".

Just a thought.
