| Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
|
(Chrysalis CHR-1040 UK-73 VG+ 350:-)
Jethro Tull, aka the saga of everyone's favorite madcap flautist and his netherworldly parishioners, began in England in the late '60s. It was one of many experimental periods in rock 'n' roll, when the miscegenation of folk, sylvan mysticism, Heavy Metal thunder, and Skiffle seemed viable. And who could resist a fully bearded man, dressed in tartan, hopping on one leg while playing the flute?
Like its predecessor, Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play is a concept album with a single song (which was split into two parts on the original vinyl LP release). The theme of the concept is the spiritual journey of one man in the afterlife.
UK pressing in a gatefold jacket with a theatre programme inserted into two slots inside the gatefold.

Cover states "Recorded live in Berlin, Germany on January 18, 1971", but it´s probably from January 1972, because Jethro Tull played "Thick As A Brick" for the first time in early 1972.

| John, Elton - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
|
(DJM DJE-29001 UK-78 VG+ 600:-)
The crowning achievement of a young Elton John – and the record that took an already-great run of earlier records, and pushed it even further with a new depth of songwriting and imagination!
