  2. Puterbaugh, Parke (1 December 1988). "Jethro Tull: 20 Years of Jethro Tull: Highlights". Rolling Stone. Retrieved 5 June 2017.
  • "Sunshine Day" was the first single released by Tull, on 16 February 1968.
  • "The Chateau D'Isaster Tapes" comprises three sections: "Scenario", "Audition" and "No Rehearsal". These later appeared as separate tracks on Nightcap.
  • Many of these tracks are currently available on the remastered editions of Jethro Tull's studio albums.
  • "17" and "A Stitch in Time" are shortened compared to the original 7" version (6:07 and 4:20 respectively). The original version of "17" was released on the Collector's Edition of Stand Up, released October 2010. The full-length version of "A Stitch In Time" was released on the 2019 collector's edition of Stormwatch.

gollark: It's very annoying.
gollark: Yes, I made a minor typo when working on some webserver code and accidentally installed a high-powered parallel processor in my monitor, which was then made to automatically detect things which pattern-match as Discord icons, and then infer the remaining pixels from the available data.
gollark: Maybe we should have two voice chats.
gollark: Just reduce its volume if you dislike it.
