JETHRO TULL - THICK AS A BRICK ORIGINAL real NEWSPAPER COVER Germany 12" VINYL LP ALBUM

"Thick as a Brick" (1972) is a concept album by the British rock band Jethro Tull. Its lyrics are built around a poem written by a fictitious boy, "Gerald Bostock" a.k.a. "Little Milton". The album on LP vinyl runs as one seamless track on both sides of the record. The song is notable for its numerous time signature and tempo changes, as well as a large number of themes throughout the piece, resembling a typical classical symphony in this regard, rather than a typical rock song.

Music Genre:	Progressive Rock Music
Collector's info:	Thin newspaper cover design This original LP cover was a spoof of a twelve by sixteen inch (305 by 406 mm) multipage local newspaper with stories, competitions, adverts, etc., lampooning the parochial and amateurish local journalism that still exists in many places today. The "newspaper" also includes the entire lyrics to the song. Because of the thin paper used to make this cover, albums with the original thin newspaper sleeve completey intact are very hard to find and thus very valuable.
