Additional Information

Comments M.U. – The Best of Jethro Tull, released in 1976, is the first proper greatest hits album by Jethro Tull. It spans the years 1969 to 1975. The earlier Living in the Past (1972) compilation mainly dealt with non-album material, but this album only features one previously unreleased song, "Rainbow Blues".
"M.U." in the album title stood for "Musician's Union",[2] which is probably a reference to the various musicians from different line-ups of the band appearing throughout the album.
The album peaked at number 44 in the United Kingdom charts and number 13 in the United States, and went gold in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Germany and went Platinum in the US and Canada.[3]
It was later re-released as The Essential in 2003, with exactly the same song order, but a different album cover.
A3: Thick as a Brick
A4 & B4: WarChild
B & B6: Stand Up
B2: Living in the Past
B3: A Passion Play
B5: previously unreleased

"M.U." stands for "Musician's Union"
Track A2 is the same as in the Aqualung album but with a different vocal track.
