JETHRO TULL - AQUALUNG (LIMITED EDITION 200g 45RPM 4LP BOX SET)

Jethro Tull Aqualung Limited Edition 4 x 200g 45RPM Vinyl Box Set

Generally considered the pinnacle of the band’s recorded output, front-man Ian Anderson’s songwriting was quickly evolving from British folk-blues roots and helping define prog-rock. While definitely pushing the envelope for the era in taking on the subjects of God and organized religion, it was guitarist Martin Barre who was establishing equal ground with Anderson’s flute as an instrumental voice of the band. Joining Tull after Toni Iommi (Black Sabbath), who himself had replaced original guitarist Mick Abrahams (Blodwyn Pig, Mick Abrahams Band), departed after only a few days, both Barre’s opening riffs and lead breaks became indelibly imprinted to generations of classic rock. Songs such as "My God," "Hymn 43," "Locomotive Breath," "Cross-Eyed Mary," "Wind Up" and of course the title tune became FM radio staples and in-demand concert favorites to this day.

The Classic Records reissue of Aqualung was cut from the original analog master tapes obtained from Ian Anderson on Classic's "all tube" cutting system by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman mastering. This version features, for the first time since the original Chrysalis release, an authentic faux linen textured gatefold jacket and original label art. Now Available on 45RPM as a four LP box set, pressed on Classic’s Clarity 200g Super Vinyl Profile!
