Sporting one of rock’s most ambitious album packages (14 pages of bogus newsprint, including a fake review of the music contained therein), this 1972 classic consisted of one track split over two sides. Centered on a fictional child prodigy named Gerald Bostock, the concept album pulled together all the raw materials laid out on its predecessor, Aqualung. Guitarist Martin Barre dazzled in both electric and acoustic settings, while frontman Ian Anderson performed in full minstrel mode. -

This is the earliest UK issue, with the Island logo & radial text in white at the head of the labels.
The 12-page newspaper gatefold-style sleeve has a heavyweight card construction of the record pocket, unlike later issues using a lighter card stock (which also have the same labels & later labels). Consequently, there is a noticeable paper weight difference between the 2 sleeve versions. The Chrysalis imprint appears on page 12 -
