Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Gate-fold cover has a few creases near edges; residue from book glue and light-scuffing on inner-gate; heavier scuffing and discoloration spots (front/back); surface impressions and surface abrasions (front/back/inner-gate). Inner-sleeve is original (generic white); one seam partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom/right-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Book not included. Green label. (Not a cut-out.)

A Passion Play by Jethro Tull, is a concept album with a single song (which was split into two parts on the original vinyl LP release). The theme of the concept is apparently the spiritual journey of one man in the afterlife. The album sold well enough to reach No. 1 on the charts in the United States. In the United Kingdom it reached only #13. It helps to be aware of the framing story, about a newly deceased man called to review his life at the portals of heaven, who realizes that life on Earth is preferable to eternity in paradise. But the music puts it over successfully, a dazzling mix of old English folk and classical material, reshaped in electric rock terms. The band is at its peak form, sustaining the tension and anticipation of this album-length piece across 45 minutes.
