Slavná britská rocková skupina, jejíž ústřední postavou je zpěvák, kytarista a hráč na flétnu Ian Anderson, vznikla v roce 1967. Jethro Tull se původně věnovali experimentálnímu blues rocku, později jejich hudba vstřebala prvky klasické hudby, folku, jazzu i hard rocku. S deskou Stand Up se v roce 1969 dostali na čelo britské hitparády, nehynoucí slávu jim ale zajistila především deska Aqualung z roku 1971.
V roce 1968 vydala legendární kapela první album This Was. U příležitosti padesátého vyročí nyní připravila hned dvě nové kolekce. K dispozici jsou kompilace ve variantách 3CD a CD. 3CD nazvané prozaicky 50 For 50 obsahuje padesát skladeb, které vybral Ian Anderson a které reprezentují všech jedenadvacet studiovych alb skupiny. Samostné CD označené jako 50th Anniversary Collection nese podtitul Very Best On A Single a nabízí kompilát ze zmíněného 3CD.
