Four songs &#8220;Aqualung&#8221;,&#8221;Cross Eyed Mary&#8221;,&#8221;Hymn 43&#8243;,and &#8220;Locomotive Breath&#8221; are all staples of FM Rock radio.The mostly acoustic &#8220;Mother Goose&#8221; also got a lot of airplay.Often though of as a concept album for its lyrics about God and religion leader Ian Anderson denies that was the intention. This was the first music I heard from Jethro Tull probably in late 1971 when I started going to High School and learned that the school had its own radio station. It was playing the same music as WMMR an FM station that I had just started listening to. I think they played every song on the album including the two longer songs on side two dealing with religion &#8220;My God&#8221; and &#8220;Wind UP&#8221;. I eventually ordered this record from Colombia House Record Club as one of my 10 or so records I had to buy sometime in late 1972. It&#8217;s another one that disappeared around 1980. This one is a used one I bought in Delaware four years ago. It&#8217;s a German release and the cover,both inside and out has a textured finish to it like burlap or cloth, but I&#8217;ve never seen one like it. That is why I bought it. Unfortunately the record itself is very scratchy but no skips. If I do get a better record I will put it in this cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aqualung from 1971 is there best selling record and most widely known.
