Ouça esta coleção, reunida para capitalizar o crescimento explosivo do público do grupo após o Aqualung, e é fácil entender o quão bom era o grupo Jethro Tull no início dos anos 70. A maioria das canções, além de algumas faixas do álbum tocadas pesadamente ("Song for Jeffrey" etc.) eram pouco conhecidos na América, e é tudo tão sólido que não precisa de desculpas ou explicações. Ian Anderson não apenas escrevia músicas sólidas o tempo todo, mas a seção rítmica do grupo era a melhor na divisão pop do rock progressivo. Junto com qualquer um dos primeiros cinco álbuns do grupo, esta coleção é seminal e essencial para qualquer coleção Tull,
