Having been a perhaps too big a fan for Aqualung it took me a few years to wrap my head around Thick As A Brick by Tull. I was expecting Aqualung Part Two but instead received something that made me re-listen to their entire - back then - catalogue. (Stand Up, Benefit...)
That more or less changed when I heard the record on a decent stereo system not long after it was released. That also more or less started me on high fidelity as well. I am not a purist audiophile in the sense that it's the artist, not the sound reproduction, that grabs one by the short hairs and has an impact. It's not the clubs, Laddie.
Anyhoo, once I heard Thick As A Brick on a decent stereo I was hooked. It remains in my rotation to this day, ahead of Aqualung, right along with Revolver, Exile On Main Street, and as an ode to my father, Classical Music Symphonic Orchestra Volume Two or something like that - a series that my mother would pick up at the A&P when she did out weekly marketing.
It's never the clubs, Laddie.
