{"product_id":"jethro-tull-aqualung-lp","title":"Jethro Tull - Aqualung (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Island Studios, London, England. Originally released as Reprise (2035).\u003cbr\u003eThe leap from 1970's BENEFIT to the following year's AQUALUNG is one of the most astonishing progressions in rock history. In the space of one album, Tull went from relatively unassuming electrified folk-rock to larger-than-life conceptual rock full of sophisticated compositions and complex, intellectual lyrical constructs. While the leap to full-blown prog-rock wouldn't be taken until a year later on THICK AS A BRICK, the degree to which Tull upped the ante here is remarkable. The lyrical concept--the hypocrisy of Christianity in England--is stronger than on most other '70s conceptual efforts, but it is ultimately the music that makes the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTull's winning way with a riff was never so arresting as on the chugging \"Locomotive Breath,\" or the character studies \"Cross Eyed Mary\" and \"Aqualung,\" which portray believably seedy participants in Ian Anderson's story. The fable imagery of \"Mother Goose\" and the vitriolic anti-authoritarian sentiments of \"Wind Up\" both serve notice of Anderson's willful iconoclasm and his disillusionment with the spiritual traditions to which he was born. Varied but cohesive, AQUALUNG is widely regarded as Tull's finest hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJethro Tull:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ian Anderson (vocals, acoustic guitar, flute); Martin Barre (guitar, descant recorder); Jeffrey Hammond (alto recorder, bass, background vocals); John Evan (piano, organ, Mellotron); Clive Bunker (drums, percussion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Aqualung \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA1 Aqualung\u003cbr\u003eA2 Cross-Eyed Mary\u003cbr\u003eA3 Cheap Day Return\u003cbr\u003eA4 Mother Goose\u003cbr\u003eA5 Wond'ring Aloud\u003cbr\u003eA6 Up To Me\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e My God \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eB1 My God\u003cbr\u003eB2 Hymn 43\u003cbr\u003eB3 Slipstream\u003cbr\u003eB4 Locomotive Breath\u003cbr\u003eB5 Wind-Up\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097458684163,"sku":"0ATY3H-PT8N-00","price":25.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/jethro-tull-aqualung-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
