AUDIO CD'S LIST 1966-1970 1970-1980 1980-1990 1990-2000 2000-3000 .....DVD's LIST ......1970-1980 ......1980-1990 ......1990-2000 ......2000-3000 Volunteers required As you can see my English is not perfect and probably some of the paragraphs are incorrectly written. If someone wanted to help me to correct "a pair" of them, I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance!   About the sound Ratings for sound are my own. I've been a bit strict. "A+" means excellent, the sound we hope find. "A" is also excellent, not exactly what we wanted but you can listen to them without pain the ears. "A-" and "B+" are to listen when we haven't anythig else better. I collect them and keep them directly on the shelf. For any info, please e-mail me. Best!   >>All cd discs and DVD's you'll find in this wonderful and humble site are for trading not for sale. contact me

>>If you read this and you are a real Jethro Tull fan, I hope that you will enjoy it as I would have if I had found this some years ago. I discovered Jethro Tull when I was 20 years of age, but then one day I found myself getting a little tired of listening to the Jethro Tull official records and almost forgot about Tull's wonderful music until I happened upon a non- official disc in a disc market place.
I didn't know exactly what it was but I enjoyed listening to it very much. I thought it was a unique case but I discovered some web sites, as you well know, where there were extensive lists.
I discovered the world of R.O.I.O.'s in the year 2000 and that one unique live disc evolved into a list of over 250 audio CD shows and over 50 DVDs. I think I really like Jethro Tull…!

>>In spite of everything I don't consider my self a collector. I'm just a "listener" of their music, live music!. Live music means new versions, variations and improvisations. My favourite songs are old ones played nowaways. I don't like new songs and songs composed by I.A. for his solo albums. I think I.A. has lost the inspiration, the force and energy of old songs but today all those same songs still inspire him new versions and new different force to come new life.
There are some forgotten songs in live shows that only have been played occasionally. For this reason, in this my humble site, I've made a link named "when did they play…?" in which one you can see which old songs have been played in the last 15 years, in which bootleg they are and their sound quality. I consider these versions even better than original ones, most of them with more flute. Ian's voice is not the same but still resists. We can find songs like teacher, witches's promise, we use to know, Hymn 43…

What I always have been looking for is the best sound of every year and every tour because this is the main problem: the sound!

TRADE AND SOUND
>>Of course, unofficial discs can't be sold cause they haven't quality enough and they have been recorded in illegal manner. It is said the group knows about this bootleg world but as many groups do, they bear it. We can't sell the items we collect, that's all. So, all what you'll find in my lists are for trade, in any case for sell. There are many good collectors and they never want to earn money except in some cases or "just one case". If you don't accept to pay for a boot you'll find it in another collector list. I have only found a collector that wanted to sell their boots, just one. The usual rules are trade for the same amount of items you offer or you want. Sometimes they add extra or bonus cd's in some trades and even in a few ocasions they offer a title in return of nothing, this exists too. I've done that, a Tull fan is a Tullfriend! I had appreciated this very much when I started trading bootlegs.
And…about the sound…ahem! Sadly, it doesn't exist all good sounds we like and for technical reasons it doesn't exists good sound from early years.There were many shows recorded in tapes and now they have been transferred into cd's. Nowaways, they exist many different sound qualities but fortunately most of them have excellent sound. If you can sit down in the first or second row in a show with a good tape recorder, you tape the show, you design a cover and "put" the result into trading world you'd wonder of its "life" around the world.
It's difficult to find where to trade. The best place I've found they are the "yahoo groups" (tulltrades, tullpassionplayers…). They exist real trading rules.

>>My hobby has always been listen to music. So, I have always been looking for the better recorded show of every tour. The usual way to rate the discs is: "A+" (excellent, almost official), "A" (excellent), "A-" (excellent, but not as good as we liked) ,"B+", "B", "B-"…It's really difficult to rate teh sound. "A" is not the same for all collectors, sometimes you trade for an "A" disc and you think is a "A-", then, you have to trade again till find the best one.
Lucky, in some countries, they broadcast on tv or radio a Jethro Tull show, then, you have an excellent sounded show you'll never found in stores.

>>Nowaways, they will born very few new Jethro Tull fans and many few begin trading Tull items. In fact, I have no idea but if you find this site, I hope you enjoy visiting it. It has been made for my devotion for Jethro Tull and just for fun in my free time. I've tried to not repeat what already exists and add comments and details for cd's and dvd's. I'd like to recommend and to be recommended some time ago when I didn't have them yet.

Enter and find what you were looking for. In section “Last ones” or "Last received" you’ll find the update for my lasts discs received, in "word list" you can see and print all lists in microsoft word office, in "dvd cover" you'll see dvd covers ready to print and of course, in "bootleg lists" you'll find all titles I have year by year.
And…in the end…sorry for my English.
