Jethro Tull in Helsingborg

Posted on 06/02/2023 by pnille61

On May 22, 2022, the progressive rock band Jethro Tull visited Helsingborg. The band with front man Ian Anderson started its musical journey 1967 in Blackpool. 55 years later the sitting audience in the Helsingborg concert hall was taken on a musical trip “The Prog Years” through times in which 46 albums have been produced (studioalbums, live albums, compilation albums, source: wikipedia). In 2022 “The Zealot Gene”, Jethro Tulls latest album was released. The first album, “This was”, was released in 1968.

Without the deep knowledge of the band discography and musical successes I had a great time accompanying a friend and Jethro Tull knowledgeable. Classical albums like “Aqualung” (1971) and “Heavy Horses” (1978) goes withouth saying have passed my record players over the years. The concert, or more of the “historical show”, therefore was very educational.

In a very memorable welcoming by Ian Anderson he asked the audience supported by a huge graphical “prohibition sign over a mobile phone” asking everyone to turn off their mobiles during the show. At first a surprising sound in the concert hall was heard and then immediately followed by nodding and expressions were heard like: “What an excellent idea! Really brilliant!” Already half through the first song Ian Anderson playing a flute solo and doing the famous one leg pose spots one person just below the scene filming by mobile phone. Mr. Anderson points with a full hand at the person and by clear body language asks again for the mobile to be turned off. If anyone has that on film it may be a classical sequence! The discipline thereafter was spotless and everyone was given the time during a few last songs to film and take photos. For that we say thank you and how great it was to relax on taking pictures and focus on the presentation!

A tribute to Jethro Tull for a great show!

With an increased knowledge of the band via a fantastic concert in Helsingborg and a really full and well written article in the Swedish “Rock’n’Roll Magazine #1/2023” (pages 43-54, “Guiden till Jethro Tull” by Anders Lundquist) we would like to spread the musical message of the band by guiding to our Discogs account where a number of their original LP releases are listed for sale. LP’s are used, but in good VG+ and VG condition on media and cover/inner sleeve. Please, use the link and easily search and sort at the metalsouth discogs account on “Jethro Tull”. In a recent post under “Records” a picture of the albums may be found. Please, note that some are sold already. Below can also icons/links to our Facebook-, Instagram- and Discogs accounts be found. We hope to see Jethro Tull soon again and welcome back to Helsingborg!

p.s. In the excellent source of information, the article by Anders Lundquist/Rock’n’Roll Magazine referred to above, on page 44, we learn that Tony Iommi (Earth, Black Sabbath) made a short appearance in Jethro Tull in 1968. d.s.

Jethro Tull

On May 21st 2022 Ian Anderson and the Jethro Tull band visited the Helsingborg Concert Hall. The fantastic journey through their career and through times formed in a fantastic show. This occasion demands a separate post, which will follow shortly.

A few of their classical albums in 2nd hand quality, in this case mostly VG to VG+, are also for sale at the metalsouth discogs account to very reasonable prices.

Circular, but yet to be completely sustainable.

From own collection, framed poster, source is ‘”iQuote” famous icons/famous quotes’ and Frank Sinatra CD’s with detailed source information via discogs link below.

metalsouth is selling second hand vinyls and now also CD’s from own collection at discogs (details via the link) for very reasonable prices. Deliveries are made globally in special record cardboard packages with one inner-and one outer compartment. The condition of each item is stated in our discogs account and the aim is to deliver at least ‘VG+’ on the media.

100 titles are now available and many more are to come. Below are some LP’s exemplifying the wide range of artist, genres and musical eras representing own musical upbringing and interest.

LP’s from own collection. Swedish: Peter Le Marc, Adolphson & Falk, Carl Anton/Monica Nielsen. Non-Swedish: The Beach Boys, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Bananarama, Echo & The Bunnymen. Tracy Chapman.

A perfect title of this post would have been ‘Circular and Sustainable’ in the sense of the records being environmentally friendly. The vinyl is made from pvc and is, of course, sustainable in the meaning of surviving wear and tear over long periods and keeping a high quality sound standard. To only argue that the economical footprint still is much less than the streaming musical industry won’t lead to any progress. Research is made today on finding alternative materials to the pvc. This we will follow, learn and spread information about. The vinyl has made a massively strong comeback and the interest for the CD increases again. These media types are back and here to stay!

More rarities and the passing of 400 titles.

Posted on 31/05/2021 by pnille61

**Kraftwerk – ‘Special Pressing For Airplay Only, Not for sale’**

We are happy to celebrate the passing of 400 titles available of used (mainly) and new vinyl records (LP/EP) for sale at the metalsouth Discogs store. The celebration activities are to enter a couple of used rarities for sale, which are visualized in this post. They are grouped as Kraftwerk (a unique copy), The Who-, Non-Swedish-and Swedish titles.

We keep going and the goal is to have a 500 title base range of good quality records at VG to VG+, clean with good condition covers and inner sleeves. Some newly pressed and unplayed, i.e. in mint condition, are also available. Packaging and shipping is normally done to the next pickup working day. Order, offer and payment run through Discogs. Shipping is paid by the buyer (up to total orders of 950 SEK, thereafter free shipping), but arranged by us as sellers (right now with Postnord). Packaging is done in special record cardboard boxes with an inner-and outer compartment. We find pride in describing each copy in detail to meet customer expectations.

These title and many more are to be found at:

Queens and Kings of Jazz

Posted on 16/04/2021 by pnille61

It’s Friday and all, and we are happy to announce that we from our collection have released for sale a number of used, clean and in really good condition jazz albums (LP) in the metalsouth store at Discogs. Kindly, have a look if anything is to your liking, place an offer or order directly. You will find albums from Miles Davies, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole and Lester Young.

We ship globally at standard or trackable/insured rates and use special security cardboard vinyl packaging (inner and outer compartments).

How can we now bridge jazz over to the hard rock-and metal genres, which is our metalsouth soul and base? It’s actually not so hard, since generally analyzed different musical genres influence each other. More concretely, we recommend an article ‘How Black Sabbath Made Heavy Metal Swing’ by Hank Shteamer, Feb. 12, 2020, in Rolling Stone.

Stay safe and have a swinging weekend.

**Black Sabbath, Sweden Rock, Norje, SE, June 7, 2014.**

If we then time travel 50 years to June 2016 American thrash metal band Trivium performed at Copenhell, Copenhagen, DK. The year before October 2, 2015, their 7th album ‘Silence In The Snow’ (Roadrunner Records, 2015) was released. We remember the performance as energetic, intense and extremely loud, i.e. really good and value for money. Matt Heafy, who constantly performs with full intensity on stage turned 35 years last month and we send our late congratulations. Please, take part in the inspiration via a few pictures.

Trivium album ‘Silence in the Snow’ we offer in our shop at Discogs. The copy is not sealed, but unplayed, i.e. in mint condition.
