Jethro Tull UK Reissue LP This was '72 Pink Rim island Label ILPS9085 Prog Rock
UK Reissue LP released in 1972 on the Pink Rim island Records label. Cat: ILPS9085. Comes in gloss gatefold sleeve.
Jethro Tull was very much a blues band on their debut album, vaguely reminiscent of the Graham Bond Organization only more cohesive, and with greater commercial sense. The revelations about the group's roots on This Was which was recorded during the summer of 1968 can be astonishing, even 30 years after the fact. Original lead guitarist Mick Abrahams contributed to the songwriting and the singing, and his presence as a serious bluesman is felt throughout, often for the better: "Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You," an Ian Anderson original that could just as easily be credited to Big Bill Broonzy or Robert Johnson; "Cat's Squirrel," Abrahams' big showcase, where he ventures into Eric Clapton territory; and "It's Breaking Me Up," which also features some pretty hot guitar from Abrahams. Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo" (the first song Anderson learned to play on flute), their jazziest track ever, is one of the best parts of the album.
Tracks : My Sunday feeling/ Some day the sun won't shine/ For you/ Beggar's farm/ Move on alone/ Serenade to a cuckoo/ Dharma for one/ It's breaking me/ Cats squirrel/ A song for Jeffrey/ Round.
