Album Overview

Thick as a Brick is Jethro Tull's 1972 progressive-rock masterpiece, presented as one continuous composition across the original album sides. Built around a fictional poem by a young boy, the record combines complex instrumental passages, folk melodies, flute, guitar, keyboards, and Ian Anderson's distinctive vocals. Its ambitious structure helped define the progressive-rock album format of the early 1970s. The album remains one of Jethro Tull's most celebrated works and a key record for prog collectors. This Japanese pressing is a highly attractive addition to any classic progressive-rock collection.
