Jethro Tull, 197?
Trouble with reissues - to find the original release date is a challenge!
This one, along with Aqualung, would be the defining album for the band which continues to perform to this day.
Progressive rock with intelligence, humour, musical sensitivity and variety.
I loved experiencing my sister Plonie's vinyl copy of this - it was released as a newspaper, with various ribald articles and concealed lyrics as part of the package.
When the topicality died out, we were left with a distillation of musical expression which ranges from folky jaunts thru baroque canons, thru heavy rock, thru psychedelia...nothing quite like it!
Worth listening to for sure - just don't worry too much about the lyrics!
8/10.
