Date of US Release September 1969 The group's second album, with Anderson (vocals, flute, acoustic guitars, keyboards, balalaika), Martin Barre (electric guitar, flute), Clive Bunker (drums), and Glen Cornick (bass), solidified the group's sound. There is still an element of blues, but except for "A New Day Yesterday," it is far more muted than on their first album, as Mick Abrahams' blues stylings are largely absent from Martin Barre's playing. The influence of folk music also began to manifest itself ("Look Into the Sun"). The instrumental "Bouree," which could've been an early Blood, Sweat & Tears track, became a favorite concert number, although at this point Anderson's flute playing on stage needed a lot of work; by his own admission, he just wasn't that good. Bassist Cornick would last only one more album, but got his best moments here, on "Bouree." As a story-song with opaque lyrics and jarring tempo changes, "Back to the Family" is the forerunner to Thick As a Brick. The only major flaw in this album is the mix, which divides the electric and acoustic instruments and fails to find a solid center. The Mobile Fidelity audiophile CD, in addition to superior sound, recreates the original LP's "pop-up" jacket interior. Anderson (vocals, flute, acoustic guitars, keyboards, balalaika) , Martin Barre (electric guitar, flute) und Clive Bunker (drums) , verfestigte sich der Ton der Gruppe. Es gibt noch ein Element des Blaus, aber außer Glen Cornick (bass) ihm ist weites gedämpfteres als auf ihrem ersten Album, da "A New Day Yesterday, " Blaustylings vom Spielen groß abwesend Mick Abrahams' sind. Der Einfluß von Volksmusik fing auch an, sich zu verkünden Martin Barre's . Das instrumentelle ("Look Into the Sun") , das das gewesene could've eine frühe "Bouree, " Schiene, eine Lieblingskonzertzahl wurde, obgleich an diesem Punkt Blood, Sweat & Tears die Flöte, die auf Stadium spielt, eine Menge Arbeit - durch seine eigene Aufnahme benötigte, war er gerade nicht guter der. Bassist Anderson's würde nur ein weiteres Album dauern, aber seine besten Momente hier, auf einem 'Cornick Geschichte-Story-song mit undurchlässigen Lyrics erhielt und, das ist das Tempo jarring ist Änderungen "Bouree. " As , der Vorläufer zu "Back to the Family" . Der einzige Hauptfehler in diesem Album ist die Mischung, die die elektrischen und akustischen Instrumente teilt und eine feste Mitte finden nicht kann. Das Thick as a Brick audiophile Mobile Fidelity , zusätzlich zum überlegenen Ton, erstellt das ursprüngliche CD (out-of-print) Jackeninneren neu. LP's "pop up". Glen Cornick played bass guitar.
