Awesome album! I always wish that little bit of distortion wasn't in "Locomotive Breath". Make sure you get "Thick as a Brick" too. And also "Songs from the Wood". And "Minstrel in the Gallery". After that there are only another 34 or so albums to collect.
"Thick as a brick" is a *must have*; Second in line IMO would be "The Passion Play" - both are concept albums, stylisticaly very similar, both made in the best tradition of the 70's prog. rock. Aqualung is also a great album, but different - more rock than prog.
It's always interesting to listen to the roots of a band like Tull. For that reason, and because it's just plain good, I recommend their first album, Stand Up.
I'll second redshifter's recommendation to see Tull in concert. Although I haven't been to a Tull concert since '80 and '82, they are said to still put on a great show. I don't doubt that.
If you can't make it to a concert there is a DVD out called "Living in the Past" that is live concert and performance material.

You're absolutely right. That's what happens when I trust my recollection of ancient events.
