Keyboardist John Evan, organist David Palmer and drummer Barrie Barlow had already left the band following bassist John Glascock's death. Only two Jethro Tull members play on the album: Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre. (The album's title is derived from the initial tapes, labeled A for Anderson.) But after hearing the more modern, synthesizer-based sound, the group’s label, Chrysalis, decided to release the LP under the Jethro Tull name, noting that this was the direction it wanted the band to head in. A was originally recorded solely by the band’s founder Ian Anderson.
