That album really knocked me for six the first time I played it Sox, such a different sound for Tull, but I think they pulled it off in style.

Has to be one of his best album covers as well.:D

Tull's '82 corker.






It certainly is, imo! :cheers2 I played TBATB quite alot when it was first issued, and also as frequently as I possibly can now!

Continuing on with a couple more Tull gems...

Jethro Tull - Rock Island

Ian Anderson - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Flute, Harmonica, Percussion

I know these two Tull albums have been both posted in the JT thread, and also discussed very well in that thread, too. I greatly like all of these JT albums and especially all of the fantastic albums posted within this superb thread!

@LG. Wow, that's almost big enough to be made into a poster! :heheh: I'd buy that! :)

@DKW, that's a terrific album, imo! :grinthumb

:cheers2

Roky Erikson and the Aliens s/t album from 1980. Former leader of the 13th Floor Elevators put together this band after his release from a mental institution after being arrested for drugs in 1969.

Great choices Rocker440, a bit special for me those two as I was lucky enough to get to see them on both tours.

Joe I will be looking into that one.

Another from The Cult "Electric" which this cracker came from..
