1979

The Water's Edge
A sequence of ballet music, written for orchestra, consisting of the following pieces: The Surface I, Mary's Song, The Surface II, Kelpie, The Surface III, Selkies, The Surface IV, Siren Song, The Surface V, Beneath The Surface, The Storm. According to Laufi the titles of these pieces were "invented" by the bootlegger.
The Water's Edge was written by Ian Anderson, David Palmer and Martin Barre for the Scottish Ballet. It was peformed in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness, Liverpool and London from March to May 1979, but never properly recorded. It is not certain what happened to the tapes containing these pieces. David Palmer's composition "Siren Song" was later that year reworked and released on the "Stormwatch" album titled "Elegy".

Apocalypse *
This song was recorded for the Stormwatch album, but not included. It was never played live by the band, but there is a recording of this song, as performed by David Palmer & Beggars Farm at the Itullian Convention, June 30 2001.
*) Available as Real Audio file on Laufi's site (www.laufi.de).
Elwyn Davies has tried to transcribe the lyrics, and Dag Sandbu has send in some additions. Please mind that we are not sure if we're right!

Halt the ringing cry of progress
sang the  horseman riding by
through support the good God gave us
riding back to yesterday
yesterday.

Turn the tables in the temple
rang [bring?] the hoardings from the [.......?]
Life is [insurance?] gentle [..?..] horseman
[in]corporate efficiency
efficiency.

Some pieces for your daily tune (?) / Stop chasing for your daily dues (?)
the race is run
no price you lose
start [stop?] craving for your  daily news.
There's [no more said?] to change  your views (?)

The brokers [homeless] breathless useless [deeds?]
let reason  bring us to exceed (?)
now you hold the reins of the apocalypse.

Galvanise yourselves to action
cast inside iniquity
And to this hand voice [..?..] spoken [..?..]
The rites of ancient history / write your names in history
in history.

Halt the ringing cry of progress
sang the  horseman riding by
through support the good God gave us
riding back to yesterday
yesterday
to yesterday
yesterday.

1981

D.J.
An outtake from "The Broadsword And The Beast", played live in 1981 - 1982."A weird attempt at disco music by Tull! It is actually not bad, but disco never really was Tull's strong point, and it seems to fall apart at the end. Not funky enough to be the real thing and not funny enough to be a spoof."
* Dave Rees in "A New Day", issue 35, December 1992.

Dinosaur
Another outtake from "The Broadsword And The Beast", played live in 1981 - 1982. According To Dave Rees this song is "A raucous heavyweight rocker with a thumping guitar- driven backbeat and powerful vocals from Ian. The only doubt we had about this song [i.e. for inclusion on 'Nightcap'] was the title: another 'Living in the Past' / 'Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll' critics' cliché handed to the press on a plate [I guess referring to 'dinosaur' bands]. But that was then and this is now, and the days of worrying about the music press are long gone. A worthy contender for the next collection."
