WOW WHAT A FIND !!! This is a RARE ORIGINAL UK DOUBLE SIDED ACETATE - PROG ROCK - UK DOUBLE ACETATE single by JETHRO TULL from 1968, ORIGINAL UK PROMO PUBLISHING ACETATE PRESSING COPY IN GREAT CONDITION !!!
This is a RARE AND GREAT ORIGINAL - PROG ROCK - UK PROMO ONLY ACETATE single that RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE !!! This was an ORIGINAL - MUSIC PUBLISHING DEMO DOUBLE SIDED ACETATE of what would become tracks for JETHRO TULL 1968 debut album on ISLAND RECORDS. The tracks here say "IT'S BREAKING ME UP" is track 1 on the album, but will become track 2 on side 2, and "SERENADE TO A CUCKOO" track 2, but this will become side 1 track 5, showing maybe what was the original planned track order !!! I am not sure if these are the same mix as the released single, but included a sound clip for you to decide.
