Back when we were teenagers we would have our own 'listening parties', as mates gathered round at yours or another friend's house once a week before or after going out to listen to that weeks album and single purchases.
All round to my old mate 'Gub's' house one night after football training and a mate produced 'Stand up', I don't remember it getting a unanimous thumbs up but it intrigued me enough to make me remember the name and want to hear more.
So, off to the record library on a regular basis to try and pick up on anything new by this 'underground' band called Jethro Tull. It was Tull that successfully swayed me from more 'mod' based music then any other band. it was just the right time for that brand of right stuff.
A short while later I was given a few singles and that started me off on collecting Tull as what i consider to be a real fan.
So, I can pin-point my first real Tull listening experience to 38 Willett Way in Bermondsey, London. The flat longer exists, but deserves a blue plaque to commemorate it I think.
So, where were you when you first heard Tull?

I think I first heard Tull on TOTPops plying TWPromise a famous clip with Ian mis synching the words whether on purpose or not,you decide it must be on You Tube.But really first heard Tull as mind enlightening experience was at a youth club in a local village,someone brought along TAAB and instead of the usual 3/4 minutes of song on the Dansette here was 20+ of continuous new sound to me, thats when I got hooked and swallowed the bait with APP.

For me it was online, downloading a MP3 of Aqualung. For some weird reason I thought JT was a heavy metal band at the time, and the song got me by surprise. Even so I didn't listen to any more Tull for quite some time before getting completely addicted to the band. I was about 16 years old.

Impossible to remember, my parents have home movies of me as an infant with Tull songs playing in the background.
