Jethro Tull is a rock/prog group with many classic recordings. Aqualung ,1971, is considered by some to be their finest lp. Featuring the hit songs "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath", and "Hymn 43" among others. Classic records, who mastered this release from the Original Master Tapes, is a record mastering company specializing in audiophile Vinyl pressings [like this 200gram 33rpm example] , using a custom all tube cutting process from the Original Master Tapes when possible [this might be every time, I'll have to check, though its the case with all the ones I have that they are mastered from the Original Master Tapes]. They [CR] seek to perfectly replicate the original vinyl pressings in both sound and asthetics [cover art, liner notes, even paper texture, down to a creepy level of detail usually], while eliminating surface noise and gaining new clarity and quality of acoustics compared to standard releases. Very similar to MFSL in almost every meaningful regard, vinyl only obviously.

Yes, I know this is a big file, if you don't like that, please, complain to someone who cares about what you say. Same with my choice of upload sites! To the people who like this, thank you, I have all Led Zeppelin and some Who stuff in this format, and thanks again for supporting these high quality, but crazy big, uploads!!! Some cover scans and a lp center pic are included. Sorry, I don't know a pressing number for any of these lp's.

Aqualung is the fourth studio album by the rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1971. The first side of the LP contains a series of six character sketches, including two sketches of people of questionable repute (title character Aqualung and Cross-Eyed Mary) and two autobiographical tracks including "Cheap Day Return", written by band leader Ian Anderson while returning from a visit to his critically ill father. The overall message of the lyrics on the second side is said to be "pro-God but anti-church", and makes the statement that organized religion can actually restrict a person's relationship with their God instead of enhancing it. Anderson has denied any attempt to create a concept album (see below).

Record details: Classic Records 200 gram Quiex SVP 33 rpm records. No equalizers, de-clickers used in capturing from vinyl. Audio captured to 24 bit, 96 KHZ and encoded to .flac for ease of transport. NO CLIPPING, hence the somewhat low volume. [this is a good thing, if your wondering] No real pops or clicks to speak of, at all, which is great.
