Today is turn to Thick as a Brick, that I have divided each face in 7 songs (perfect fit).Britains Jethro Tull sowed the seeds that would become its flowering brand of progressive rock three albums into their career.
Their third album, 1969s Benefit, is a welcome transition away from the blues-rock that characterized their earlier material. Despite a tumultuous line-up change that severed ties with the groups bassist, the addition of organist John Evan would more than compensate for the loss. The RIAA would certify the record Gold nearly a year after its release, recognizing the sale of over 500,000 copies. Reaching 3 on the UK charts and 11 stateside on the Billboard Hot 200, Benefit gained attention for its notable use of advanced studio techniques. The unmistakable voice and musicianship of frontman and producer Ian Anderson still resonates on the album over forty years later. The records ambitious nature and signature sound served as a precursor to Jethro Tulls revered album Aqualung, but should be regarded as an excellent display of sonic ingenuity nonetheless.

This was the album that made Jethro Tull a fixture on FM radio, with riff-heavy songs like My God, Hymn 43, Locomotive Breath, Cross-Eyed Mary, Wind Up, and the title track. And from there, they became a major arena act, and a fixture at the top of the record charts for most of the 1970s. Indeed, from this point on, Anderson and company were compelled to stretch the lyrical envelope right to the breaking point. In the digital age, Aqualung has gone through numerous editions, mostly owing to problems finding an original master tape when the CD boom began. When the album was issued by Chrysalis through Columbia Records in the mid-80s, the source tape was an LP production master, and the first release was criticized for thin, tinny sound; Columbia remastered it sometime around 1987 or 1988, in a version with better sound. Chrysalis later switched distribution to Capitol-EMI, and they released a decent sounding CD, as well as a 25th anniversary edition in 1996.

Though the group was never a critical favorite, this 1976 album was particularly dismissed, and it didnt find as much favor as usual from fans, either. At the time this reissue was released, 26 years after the original LP, it remained the groups only release of the 1970s not to have at least gone gold in the U.S. In his liner notes to the reissue, bandleader Ian Anderson claims that the collection was intended to support a stage musical based on a late-50s motor cycle rocker and his living-in-the-past nostalgia for youthful years. Why do people always think it has to be autobiographical Perhaps because the main character, Ray Lomas, bears a striking resemblance to Anderson in the cartoon strip included with the album and because the sentiments expressed in the songs revealed a curmudgeonly attitude familiar from past Jethro Tull efforts penned by Anderson. The songs dont conform to the story line developed in the strip, nor do they tell a coherent story on their own, though they do have their own separate stories to tell. The title track, which went on to become a classic rock and concert favorite, remains the most striking tune. This reissue adds two previously released outtakes, Strip Cartoon, which appeared as a non-LP B-side in 1977, and A Small Cigar, making its U.S. U.K. compilation Nightcap: The Unreleased Masters 1973-1991. It is the case of some classics such example Rush and their 2112 or Rick Wakeman and Journey to the Center of the Earth.
