"An excellent live album, full of energy and crammed with the best of Tull from several albums including 'Aqualung', 'Thick as a Brick', 'Songs From the Wood', 'Minstrel in the Gallery', 'War Child', to name but a few. A great introduction to early Jethro Tull. The vinyl experience is fantastic if..."  [+]  Reply

"The beginning of Zé's most experimental period (which never really ended). Not as celebrated as the posterior "Estudando o Samba", but it's as good. Better heard with headphones. The cover is legendary and it's my favourite of a Brazilian record. It is said that the marble was photographed on top..."  [+]  Reply

"This is pretty different from the African albums I’ve listened to. It doesn’t sit under the folk and pop umbrellas that tend to dominate. There are African instruments playing alongside European orchestral instruments. It’s a very ambitious (perhaps progressive) album, I even want to call it a co..."  [+]  Reply

"This record flies under the radar for so many listeners and it really deserves a lot more praise as it is brilliant. This is a singer songwriter record which has no bad songs at all. Every song is a hit and is completely commanded by Gene Clark who comes into his own on this release. The musical ..."  [+]  Reply
