Well - theys don´t seem to do this cover note thing any more which is a bit sad as it is not a bad thing to say something, even if it doesn´t amount to much
This was recorded at Sound Techniques Studio, Chelsea, London - a big sort of greenhouse place. The coffee machine didn´t always work, and you had to watch out for the wires and things on the floor - very pleasant, though, first thing in the morning. There we met Recording Engineer Victor Gamm who turned out to be all right too. He twiddled the magic knobs and bore up quite well under strain.

Produced by Terry Ellis and Jethro Tull for Chrysalis Productions, which is a bit of a joke really but Victor showed us which levers to pull and we had the whole thing going quite nicely towards the end

Cover concept by Terry Ellis and Ian Anderson, with many thanks for the cover photographs by Brian Ward - he´s only a young lad, but he does a fair snap

This was commenced on Thursday 13th June and finished on Friday 23rd August (1968). This was how we were playing then - but things change. Dont they.
Jethro Tull

By way (not of explanation) of interest as regards some of the things - Move On Alone is one of Mick´s - it´s designed to be pleasant and loose - has weird trumpets and things arranged by David Palmer, which we slipped on without Mick´s noticing. He (Mick) plays a nine-string guitar, which is a twelve-string guitar with three strings missing (or something). Serenade to a Cuckoo is this Roland Kirk one, which was the first thing Ian learned to play on flute (so he says) - it´s probably all right. Dharma For One zooms along (you know?) - contains Claghorn (Jeffrey made it) and old Clive has a bit of a bash Cat>´s Squirrel is here because people like it. Terry just muttered something about "representative of our musical style" (which is bull)

A Song for Jeffrey . he is one of us but doesn´t really play anything - makes bombs and things Round - musically goodbye or something - Ian (playing) on piano
