Which has little to do with the order in which the original vinyl was first released. And then there are the Ian Anderson albums.

Right. Hope you noticed my wink.

More surround where needed:

Ian Anderson (HSR Nov 83)

I have a rhetorical question for you. How is an Ian Anderson album different from a Jethro Tull album? For example, TAAB and TAAB2.

 

[esimms86]

Somewhat off topic but I didn't know that former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and front man Bob Welch was in a band called Paris with Glenn Cornick on bass.

Now you know why I'm always confused;>) If it's outstanding it's usually Jethro Tull with Martin Barre. Magic!

By the name that's on the cover.

At the time TAAB2 and Homo Erraticus came out, Ian was trying to distance himself from the Tull name and establish himself as the "brand". There was also the absence of Martin, who had been the only constant JT member besides IA since the second album.

After The Zealot Gene and Rökflöte with basically the same line-up and similar styles reverted to the JT name, it's easy to retcon TAAB2 and HE as Tull albums, especially considering that both are sequels to a JT classic. Also, his earlier solo albums were musically more different from the band.

It's all rather inconsistent.

To which "JT classic" is Homo Erraticus a sequel?

So, clear as mud.

All Cat Stevens to me.

It features the last appearance of Gerald Bostock as a plot device, so it refers to TAAB again.

I'd forgotten about that. D'oh!
