A Passion Play is the sixth studio album by the British progressive rock band Jethro Tull, released in July 1973 in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Following the same style as the band's previous album Thick as a Brick (1972), A Passion Play is a concept album consisting of individual songs arranged into a single continuous piece of music (which was divided into two parts across the two sides of the original vinyl release). The album was a commercial success, becoming Jethro Tull's second number-one album in the United States. Today, the album is often considered a favorite among Jethro Tull fans, and has been listed by contemporary critics as one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time.

BOYD, EDDIE-AND HIS BLUES BAND FEATURING PETER GREEN-1967-FIRST PRESS UK-DECCA-SKL4872 Matrix A-1W/B-1W. A very rare British original of the cult blues album. "Eddie Boyd and his Blues Band featuring Peter Green", the second album released in September 1967 by Decca. The recording was arranged by Mike Vernon in March 1967 at Decca Studios #2 in London. The recording took place over three days – on March 14, 17 and 21. As a result, there were 16 tracks on the album, and two of them - "Dust My Broom" by Elmore James and" Save Her, Doctor "by Boyd himself - were decorated with a slide guitar by the leader of "Groundhogs", Tony McPhee. As on previous recordings, most of the material was copyrighted. Sales of the album were consistently high, and it remained in the Decca catalog until the mid-70s. The reviews of critics were also generally favorable, in contrast to the sharply negative attitude towards the previous recordings of American bluesmen with English bands, primarily Sonny Boy Williamson's live albums with "Yardbirds"and " Animals". So the reviewer of "Blues Unlimited" noted that " this is the only English session that is not spoiled by the band's playing or the level of recording. The accompanying group was adequate… Peter Green really knows how to play the guitar." ...more
