Jethro Tull released Aqualung 50 years ago today. The album went a long way to establishing the band as one of the leading lights of the then burgeoning progressive rock scene and helped establish Tull as a stadium act in America.
The album, Tull’s fourth studio album, peaked at No. 4 in the UK album charts and is Jethro Tull’s best-selling album, selling more than seven million units worldwide. It’s been streamed over 80 million times!
Today, Ian Anderson will be celebrating the anniversary of the album with a special livestream on the Jethro Tull YouTube channel, where he’ll be playing the album and discussing every track.
