RE-UP Jethro Tull - A Little Light Music and Conversation With Ian Anderson

It's always enjoyable listening to Ian speak, his wit and story telling always entertains and leaves you wanting more. I recently found the below disc featuring an extensive radio interview from Buenos Aires in 1993. Great comments and insights as usual from Mr.Anderson. One problem however is everything Ian says is being translated, which certainly chops up the flow of conversation. Still very much worth the listen. Just a note on the music tracks, they are all original studio versions except Someday the Sun...and Bouree, which are live in the studio. 
I've also added the Monte Carlo BBC Broadcast from 1975 with some fun comments in between songs, and a partially restored Chateau d'Isater Sessions.
Enjoy!

*Original Comments: I recently have been listening a lot to Nightcap and the Chateau recordings. 
I remembered about the Minstrel in the Red House bootlegs that includes the raw recording of 
what was to be a side of the double album that was reworked as A Passion Play. I then found a 
bootleg called "The Lost Chateau Album (A Partial Reconstruction). It is very interesting as an 
attempted to recreate to some degree the double album. Of this bootleg I will post only this 
piece, it's the track from Minstrel in the Red House remastered, and the guy who did the 
remastering did a really wonderful job. I unfortunately don't know his name to credit him here. 
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

  1. I downloaded both files. Neither file contains the flac versions of the Chateau d'Heroville Tapes. Can you put these tracks up as well?

    1. My mistake. Try the BBC 75 with Chateau D'Iaster link again, the FLAC files will be there now.

  2. Thank you for this rare material. Jethro Tull were invincible
    during this period. I went to see them at the Philadelphia Spectrum back in 1977. Great would be an understatement.

  3. Skating away on the thin ice of a new day doesn't seem to be a audio file. Could you look at this a re-up. Thanx and love your stuff
