Locomotive Breath/ Wind-Up

Jethro Tull made a must-have contribution to Rock'n'Roll in this great track from their LP "Aqualung"! By the way, "Locomotive Breath" was revived (I don't know if it was a re-recording) and charted for the group in 1976 after they had moved to Chrysalis. Collector Nerd Alert: Both of these tracks are edited versions of the respective album cuts (4:23 and 6:01). Another factoid: This promo copy "bleeps" out the reference to the guy's balls in the last verse. Finally, I note that this 3:05 edited version doesn't appear in online services like iTunes or Spotify, where you'll only find the LP version, with its over-long and somewhat underwhelming intro. The 45 version starts you off with a big "bang!" and proceeds to knock you off your feet as it barrels through. :-) Finally, it's curious that on this promo "Locomotive" is in a Mono mix, while "Wind-Up" is Stereo. Note: This beautiful promo copy comes in a vintage Reprise Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels. The vinyl has some notable scuffs, grading a strong EX, and some of these cause light surface noise especially near the beginning.
