Jesus...
“I think Ian should find a way to do the whole lot (with or without Mr Wilson). This set is an unbelievable way to represent his life's work as an amazing library (literally) and it would be simply criminal to stop 2/3rds through.”

How did that red-hot Stormwatch box set do? I'd never heard of this dismal thing until I looked it up on Wikipedia. One highlight:
"Stormwatch...is considered the last in the trilogy of folk-rock albums by Jethro Tull (although folk music influenced virtually every Tull album to some extent). Among other subject-matters, the album touches heavily on the problems relating to the environment, oil and money."

Behold the cover illustration in all of its black velvet/sprayed-on-the-side-of-a-van glory. The completely slapdash and incongruous "futuristic computer" font is a nice touch, too. Was this some sort of contractual obligation album that the record company decided in advance to consign to the bargain bin as quickly as possible? It's hard to believe that anyone in the band and the drones at the record company office thought this looked like anything anyone would ever want to buy. I know it's Jethro Tull, but, come on. I bet this album is shit even by Jethro Tull standards. I have never heard this album (nor anything else by Jethro Tull). I hope never to have to.The stuff in bold goes for me.

I’ve a passing fondness for two Jethro Tull albums, but their direct relation to a band I nerd out about (Fairport Convention, who loaned three of their members to Jethro Tull in the 80s) means I know more about them than I(or anyone) should. Stormwatch was the last album from the ‘classic’ lineup before the rhythm section left. After that, the 80s happened and I assume they got far worse.

I’ve idly been looking at their 80s output, and fuck me there’s this song that was apparently a ‘hit’ from their Grammy-winning 80s LP Crest Of A Knave. This is hideous.
"Budapest"
I think she was a middle-distance runner... (the translation wasn't clear). Could be a budding stately hero. International competition in a year. She was a good enough reason for a party... (well, you couldn't keep up on a hard track mile) while she ran a perfect circle. And she wore a perfect smile in Budapest... hot night in Budapest.
We had to cozzy up in the old gymnasium... dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear. She was helping out at the back-stage... stopping hearts and chilling beer. Yes, and her legs went on for ever. Like staring up at infinity through a wisp of cotton panty along a skin of satin sea. Hot night in Budapest.
You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife. Feel it blowing from the sidefills. Feel like you were playing for your life (if not the money). Hot night in Budapest.
She bent down to fill the ice box and stuffed some more warm white wine in like some weird unearthly vision wearing only T-shirt, pants and skin. You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle. But the boys and me were heading west so we left her to the late crew and a hot night in Budapest. It was a hot night in Budapest.
She didn't speak much English language... (she didn't speak much anyway). She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich and she poured sweet wine before we played.
Hey, Budapest, cha, cha, cha. Let's watch her now.
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant. She would have sent blue shivers down the wall. But she didn't grace our table. In fact, she wasn't there at all. Yes, and her legs went on forever. Like staring up at infinity. Her heart was spinning to the west-lands and she didn't care to be that night in Budapest. Hot night in Budapest

What trash. Now, here's some lyrics, pal:
You say "Yes" I say "No". You say "Stop" and I say "Go, go, go". Oh no. You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello". I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello". I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.
Take THAT Anderson!

"She wouldn't make love, but she could make good sandwich"
In what world did anyone think this was a good lyric?!
Looking at the musician credits, I'm disappointed to see that the band on this recording is actually 3/5 of Fairport Convention's current lineup with Ian Anderson and Martin Barre replacin the frontline.

A pretty girl who makes a mean sandwich is a platonic ideal for SHiTEs.
