Ahead Rings Out > Blodwyn Pig

Artist: Blodwyn Pig
Label: A&M Records
Catalog#: SP-4210
Format: Vinyl
Country: US
Released: 1969-08
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Upon his departure from Jethro Tull after their debut album This Was, guitarist Mick Abrahams formed Blodwyn Pig with saxophonist Jack Lancaster, drummer Rob Berg and bassist Andy Pyle. Their debut album Ahead Rings Out saw release on Island Records. It's very much in the vein of the then-current Jethro Tull, leaving one to wonder about the circumstances surrounding Abrahams's split from the band. "It's Only Love" opens with a big brass sound, courtesy of Lancaster's multiple saxes. A performer of note, he was known to play more than one sax at a time.
