Notes:  First album from a sixties progressive/blues outfit headed up by Mick Abrahms (Jethro Tull). they've been compared to some of John Mayall's output from the same period, but the pig tends to slip about the genre pool. Bluesy, jazzy with an eye on the rock world the record made a big splash on the British charts (top ten), but the public seemed confused as to the classification of the record. It doesn't matter today, the music still play fine on my stereo. This little piggy went to the pub and rocked the house.
