Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses (Vinyl LP | EU Reissue | 1987)

Jethro Tull – Heavy Horses came out in 1978 and is one of the band's best-loved albums – a warm, pastoral tribute to old England and its working horses. Ian Anderson's flute, acoustic guitars and literate lyrics shape songs like “...And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps”, “One Brown Mouse” and the long title track; together with “Songs From The Wood” and “Stormwatch” the core of their folk-prog period.

On offer is the European reissue from 1987 on Chrysalis (202 666).
