NEW VINYL LP ON WB 2013

180 GRAM VINYL.

Tull’s third album finds them pulling definitively away from their blues-rock beginnings and heading towards the folk-influenced prog-rock that would become their trademark. It captures a brief, crucial moment in the band’s life. They hadn’t yet adopted the complex, medieval-oriented approach of their most famous works, but they had progressed enough to record some of Ian Anderson’s most unpretentious, personal and affecting songs. Instead of courtly prog-rock or Cream-ish electric blues, BENEFIT is full of visceral, electrified folk-rock.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jethro_Tull_(band)
