"This is the story of the hare who lost his spectacles" this week our guest Dan brings in an album that is disliked by the band that created it! We're looking at A PASSION PLAY (1973) by English prog rock group JETHRO TULL!

Send us Fan MailCheck out Dan's project October Owl. A Passion Play is the sixth studio album by British progressive rock band Jethro Tull, released in July 1973 on Chrysalis Records.Following in the same style as the band's previous album Thick as a Brick (1972), A Passion Play is a concept album comprising individual songs arranged into a single continuous piece of music (which was split into two parts across the original vinyl release's two sides). The album's concept follows the spiritual journey of a recently deceased man in the afterlife, exploring themes of morality, religion and good and evil. The album's accompanying tour was considered the high water mark of Jethro Tull's elaborate stage productions, involving a full performance of the album accompanied by physical props, sketches and projected video.[3]A Passion Play was negatively received by critics upon its initial release. However the album was a commercial success, becoming Jethro Tull's second number one album in the United States. The album has since received a more positive critical reassessment, and has become a cult favorite among some fans of the band.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Passion_Play?scrlybrkr=9d36c6e7Support the showCheck out our post-punk band The Alliterates new song The House Came Crashing Down on the Vol 1: Let's Begin compilation from Shift-Ctrl-MusicCheck out our cover of Child's Christmas in Wales (OG by John Cale) on Chaos For Christmas from Rejected Youth RecordsSteve's WebsiteOur InstagramsDaveSteveThe AlliteratesBlueskyDaveSteveFacebookSteveThe AlliteratesLucid FugueBuy our theme songNon-Euclidean Pornography | Lucid Fugue (bandcamp.com)
