I'm still curious what part of the album Edit #6 and Edit #10 were culled from (issued as a single in late 1973).

 

I do have this promo- I'm not at home now, but I'll take it out when I'm there.

This may help.

 

It's been over 20 years since I owned the banded promo of Passion Play, but I recall there was no "Story Of The Hare.." on it. I may be wrong.
I think #6 is "Critique Oblique" and #10 is "10:08 To Paddington", leaving #11 to be "Magus Perde".

 

You could be a hero here.

 

That was NOT the single. This was:Edit#8 from "MU" is 3:28 of the 4:00 "Overseer Overture".

Edit #9 from "Repeat" is 3:29 of the 3:58 "Flight From Lucifer".

 

There were two singles from the LP:

Chrysalis 2012 (May 1973)
A Passion Play Edit #8/A Passion Play Edit #9

Chrysalis 2017 (September 1973)
A Passion Play Edit #10/A Passion Play Edit #6

 

Thanks. I never knew there was a 2nd single!

 

A Passion Play extract on The Best Of Jethro Tull (The Anniversary Collection) is 3:45 of the 3:55 "Magus Perde"

 

Ah TooTull you genius!

According to the promo LP which is playing right now:
Edit #6 is Hare Who Lost His Specka-tacles
Edit #10 is Magus Perde

 

I've made my own edit (Edit #1) of the Overture.

 

Before you put that LP away, how do all the unmentioned edits line up against the MFSL song list?

 

I can answer that vaguely without the LP in hand.

Many of the edits on that promo are really sloppy. Even where there are obvious points to begin and end tracks, there are strange choices made. I remember that as one edit begins, you can hear the tape gradually speeding up to proper speed from a stopped position. So while in general the tracks stop and start at basically the same points as the MFSL, they're not at all exact. I remember another track fades quickly and then the next track begins by repeating the last several seconds of the former piece.

If you ask me, they'd have been just as fine asking the DJs to find the cues themselves. It would have sounded just as unprofessional!

 

I remember those bad cues and edits from when I had the LP.

 

Here are the promotional LP "edits" as they compare to the MFSL CD:

01 Lifebeats
02 Prelude (Edit #1)

03 The Silver Cord (Edit #2)

04 Re-Assuring Tune
05 Memory Bank (Edit #3)

06 Best Friends (Edit #4)

07 Critique Oblique (Edit #5)

08 Forest Dance #1 (not present)

09 The Story Of The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles (Edit #6)

10 Forest Dance #2 (not present)

11 The Foot Of The Stairs (Edit #7)

12 Overseer Overture (Edit #8)

13 Flight From Lucifer (Edit #9)

14 10:08 To Paddington (not present)

15 Magus Perde In His Drawing Room (Edit #10)

16 Epilogue (not present)

 

APP - Heaven or Hell "Do you still see me even here?''

At the risk of repeating myself or repeat after me "the APP MFSL CD is pure heaven".

* Note: The original track listing was included on the original vinyl promo copies given to D.J.'s back in 1973, so they could pick out the tracks they wanted to play on the radio. For some reason they were not included on the official release, but they were added again to the Mobile Fidelity CD of "A Passion Play".
