Description Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 This cool Prog LP is called Minstrel in the Gallery and is the eighth studio album by British band Jethro Tull, released in 1975. The album goes in a different direction from their previous work War Child with the orchestration being replaced by a string quartet conducted by Dee Palmer. The band also returned to the blend of electric and acoustic pieces, in a manner closer to their early '70s albums such as Benefit, Aqualung and Thick as a Brick and for the first time since their two concept albums of Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play, they recorded a song of more than ten minutes, "Baker St. Muse" , which occupies almost all of the second side of the record. This LP would be the last album to feature bassist Jeffrey Hammond, who left the band upon completion of the album's touring and was replaced by former Carmen bass player John Glascock. Other great songs on here are the title track "Minstrel in the Gallery" , "Cold Wind to Valhalla" and "Black Satin Dancer” !
