Jethro Tull - A Passion Play - 1973 - Chrysalis Records - Progressive Rock - Vinyl LP Record Album - Used

This 1973 original press of A Passion Play on Chrysalis Records represents Jethro Tull at their most ambitious, offering a continuous conceptual suite that follows the spiritual journey of a recently deceased man through the afterlife. As the band's sixth studio album, it pushed the boundaries of the progressive rock genre with complex time signatures, intricate instrumentation including Ian Anderson’s distinctive soprano saxophone, and a theatrical narrative that explores themes of morality and rebirth. The record features the iconic ballerina artwork on a gatefold sleeve and includes the whimsical "The Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles" nestled within its complex musical structure. This landmark release remains a cornerstone for collectors of seventies prog-rock, capturing a time when Jethro Tull was experimenting with dense, multi-layered storytelling and virtuosic musical performance.
