Ian Anderson – Thick As A Brick 2 – Vinyl LP

Half Speed

IAN ANDERSON’S ACCLAIMED SEQUEL TO A PROGRESSIVE ROCK MASTERPIECE RETURNS – NOW HALF-SPEED MASTERED FOR SUPERIOR SOUND.

In 2012, Ian Anderson – the legendary Jethro Tull frontman, composer & flautist – revisited one of rock’s most celebrated concept albums with ‘Thick As A Brick 2’. Subtitled Whatever Happened to Gerald Bostock?, this audacious sequel explores the imagined later life of the fictional child prodigy who inspired Jethro Tull’s 1972 classic ‘Thick As A Brick’.

‘Thick As A Brick 2’ poses playful “what-if” scenarios for Bostock’s adulthood – banker, homeless wanderer, preacher, soldier, ordinary man – weaving them into a meditation on fate, chance & the cyclical nature of life. Musically, the album bridges Anderson’s signature wit & literary flair with a modern progressive sound, full of dynamic shifts, rich instrumentation & lyrical introspection.

Now, ‘Thick As A Brick 2’ returns in a deluxe Half-Speed Mastered 2LP edition, cut by award-winning engineer John Webber at AIR Studios, London using audio remastered from the original sources & pressed on black vinyl.

Originally hailed by critics & fans alike as a worthy successor to one of prog rock’s most iconic albums, ‘Thick As A Brick 2’ stands as a bold work in its own right – a witty, thought-provoking journey through time, imagination & identity.
