Aqualung

For the diving equipment of the same name, see Aqua-Lung.

Aqualung is a concept album released by Jethro Tull in 1972. It is best known for its title track, which apparently concerns a pedophile. It is concept album only in so much as the first side of the LP vinyl record seems to be concerned with the same character, Aqualung.

Aqualung peaked at #7 on the Billboard Music Charts (North America) pop albums chart. The single "Hymn 43" hit #91 on Billboard's pop singles chart.
