LP 1972: ‘THICK AS A BRICK’ (Jethro Tull)
On March 3, 1972, the fifth studio album by British progressive rock band Jethro Tull was released. Recorded at Morgan Studios in London, the album arose as a reaction to what the specialized critics thought about their previous work, ‘Aqualung’ which they had classified as a ‘concept album’. Faced with these claims, the band’s frontman and songwriter, Ian Anderson, responded in an interview: ‘If the critics want a concept album, we’ll give them a concept album…’. Composed of a single song divided into two parts (the two sides of vinyl), it is about a poem written by a fictitious precocious child named Gerald Bostock. Considered a classic of progressive rock, it was No. 1 and gold in the United States and top 5 in the United Kingdom.
LP 1972: ‘MUSIC OF MY MIND’ (Stevie Wonder)
On March 3, 1972, the fourteenth album in Stevie Wonder’s discography was released. By then the prolific musician had turned 21 and the record company had granted him the creative freedom necessary to experiment with new sounds such as synthesizers. Wonder was responsible for the performance of all the instruments used in the recording except the trombone and guitar. From the album, considered the first masterpiece of the series of five albums that Wonder published in the first half of the seventies, the songs ‘Keep on running’ and ‘Superwoman’ were extracted as singles.
LP 1979: ‘SHEIK YERBOUTI’ (Frank Zappa)
On March 3, 1979, ‘Sheik Yerbouti’ was released, Frank Zappa’s twenty-fifth album and the first to be released on his new self-titled label Zappa Records, whose title was a play on words that referred to the appearance of the atabe sheikh shown by the musician on the cover and whose pronunciation was phonetically reminiscent of the 1976 KC & the Sunshine Band hit ‘Shake your booty’. Most of the tracks were recorded live during 1977 and 1978 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and the Palladium in New York and later retouched in the studio.
In ‘Sheik Yerbuti’ Zappa once again writes satirical lyrics full of irreverent humour. ‘Bobby Brown’ was a hit all over the world except in the United States where it was banned from broadcasting for considering its lyrics excessively explicit. ‘Dancin’ fool’ (nominated for a Grammy!), a parody of disco music, paradoxically became a hit on the dance floors. In “Jewish Princess” Zappa described the stereotype of a teenage Jewish American who drew angry criticism from the Anti-Defamation League of the Jewish People and in “I’m in You” and “Flakes” she parodied Peter Frampton and Bob Dylan, respectively. With more than two million copies sold, it is Zappa’s most commercially successful album and one of the most valued by his fans.
