In 2012, Ian Anderson released 'Thick As A Brick 2', the follow- up to Jethro Tull's legendary concept album. The album was a critical & commercial success, charting around the world. In April 2014, he returned with the UK top 20 album 'Homo Erraticus'.
The original 'Thick As A Brick' album, released in 1972, was based around the poem of disgraced child prodigy Gerald Bostock. For 'Homo Erraticus', Anderson is reunited with Bostock, using lyrics written by Gerald based on an old historical manuscript. The manuscript examines key events from throughout British history before going on to offer a number of prophecies for the future.
Suitably dramatised & exaggerated by Bostock as metaphors for modern life, he presented Anderson with ideas for 14 songs, which was then set to music. The result was 'Homo Erraticus'.
Following the release of this "Jethro Tull album" in all but name, Ian & his band embarked on an extensive world tour where they played the album in its entirety followed by a selection of Tull classics, covering Europe, North & South America, & Australia.
This single LP edition of 'Homo Erraticus' is presented on classic black vinyl & was half-speed remastered at AIR Studios in 2024. Originally only available as part of the lauded 2024 Madfish boxset '8314 Boxed' & now available as a standalone release for the first time.
